AK Compact Wing board V4 2024 – Wing Foil Carbon Plus Board
The AK Compact
The new V4 shape is slightly longer than the previous version, improving glide, early takeoff, and directional stability. The wide nose and stiff-release tail ensure smooth landings and planing starts.
Main features
- Wide Nose: Maintains front volume and directional stability at high and low speeds.
- High Apex Rail: Offers the stability of a wide board with the responsiveness of a narrower one, for quick turns and intuitive water contact.
- Bottom Shape: Rounded nose and soft rails for smooth touchdowns; single central concave for fast planing.
- Thick Profile: compact volume that facilitates pumping and reduces swing weight.
- Concave Deck: Lowers the center of gravity and increases connection with the foil, improving control.
Carbon Plus Construction
The Carbon Plus Construction uses a full carbon sandwich construction on both sides of the board (top and bottom). An ultralight fiberglass layer wraps the high-density EPS core , while the biaxial carbon finish optimizes the balance between responsiveness, strength, and low weight. The result is a stiff, lightweight, and high-performance board.
- Full Carbon Sandwich (top and bottom)
- Lightweight glass layer on high density EPS core
- Biaxial carbon layup for maximum stiffness and response
- High density reinforced foil connection
