Predator 2027 – Foil Style Windsurf Board
Maximum performance, maximum style in flight.
The Predator is a dedicated foil windsurf board that pushes boundaries. More aggressive than the Alien, it is designed to carve, jump, and cut through the air with decisive precision: it is ridden with both feet in the footstraps during maneuvers or with the back foot on the rail when riding.
The strategic volume distribution and lower center of gravity ensure superior stability in flight. The dedicated nose area is crucial for control in flight and during landings, and this stability opens up new possibilities for expression: from foilstyle aerial rotations to foil wave riding.
The length is kept compact to reduce the lift required to keep it in flight and increase maneuverability; the premium construction keeps the weight well below standard. The rear footstrap, with only the inner position available, keeps the rider's weight over the foil during jumps and maneuvers, reducing leverage and the risk of breakage. The Deep Tuttle ensures reliability and ease of use; superfluous inserts and boxes have been eliminated for simplicity and lightness.

Frequently asked questions about the Predator
Which foil pairs best with the Predator?
It works very well with the RedWing, with a 1000 or 1400 front wing and a 90 or 105 cm mast.
Which sail should I use?
The ideal combo is with the R4D; the Freek is also excellent. Wave sails work with some adjustment, while camber sails are not recommended.
What is the difference between the Predator and the Alien?
The Alien is the freeride foil board; the Predator is more aggressive and playful, designed for carving, jumps, rotations, and wave foil riding.
Is the foil included?
No, the board is supplied without a foil.
What color is the Predator?
Soul Red Crystal, 95% Fluo Red + 5% Bright Red and black.
Do I need to remove the Gore-Tex vent valve before a flight or trip?
No, the valve should not be touched or removed: it automatically regulates the board's internal pressure.
Does the vent valve need to be replaced over time?
Yes, it is recommended to replace it approximately every 3 years. We can provide you with the original replacement part.
The footstraps are too wide, can I narrow them?
Yes. Just rotate the plastic inserts at both ends of the footstrap: the width is reduced and the fit becomes tighter.
Where can I find replacement parts (footstraps, screws, vent valve)?
You can request them directly from us: we will help you find the correct original replacement part for your board.
