Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the lengths 26.5 / 31.5 / 36.5 cm?
The 26.5cm favors agility and aggressive pump, the 31.5cm represents the all-round compromise, while the 36.5cm offers greater stability, support and a longer cadence in freeride.
Which foils is it compatible with?
It is designed for the AK platform with TaperLock connection, typically paired with the Plasma and Tracer sets and their respective front wings and stabilizers.
Can I adjust the foil behavior via the fuselage?
Yes, by choosing different lengths and taking advantage of the stabilizer's trim angle, you can adapt pump, glide, and stability to your preferences and skill level.
Is it suitable for beginners?
With a 31.5 or 36.5 cm fuselage, it offers a stable platform ideal for progression; the 26.5 cm is more suitable for intermediate and expert riders.
Does any special maintenance need to be done?
As with all aluminum parts, it is recommended to rinse with fresh water after use and apply grease or anti-seize to the screws to prevent galvanic corrosion and seizure.
What is usually included in the package?
Only the rear fuselage is included; mast, front wing, stabilizer and screws must be chosen separately based on the desired setup.
