Compared to our first X-Winger models, the new shapes have become somewhat longer and narrower. Additionally, the nose rocker was flattened to allow a smooth transition into the flight phase and easy take-off. The defined edges help to convert the U-ship surface directly and effectively into lift and, in case of any touch downs, immediately return to the flight phase without loss of speed. The outline in the nose area was made slimmer to reduce the board's swing weight and improve aerodynamics. The nose area was made slightly thicker to compensate somewhat for the volume loss in the nose area. The concave standing area reduces the distance to the foil and thus offers very direct handling. The tail area was given additional rocker so that the nose area has more clearance from the water surface. This allows for more pop during jumps and thus generates additional height. Furthermore, this feature prevents unwanted contact with the water surface. Innovative cut outs in the tail area reduce the tail volume and facilitate pumping movements when planing to generate sufficient lift over the foil. In case of unwanted touch-downs, the cut outs also reduce resistance. Long boxes with continuous PU foam blocks connecting the deck with the U-ship ensure an extremely stable construction and allow for a wide tuning range. The boards are equipped with a PVC sandwich plate in the deck and U-ship, thus offering, in combination with edge reinforcements made of Innegra, a perfect balance of stiffness and low weight. The boards are manufactured using our ultimate Pro technology to ensure the lowest weight.
