SHAPE
The compact shape naturally provides the right balance over the foil and makes it more maneuverable in flight. Its wide outline at the tail provides enough volume to be in the right position for lift off and the wide width creates plenty of stability. The rocker is fast with a deep single concave to emphasize the speed. The bottom of the board features the twin track system with two additional M6 inserts at the front. Fasten the front holes of the foil top plate into the two M6 inserts for SUP foiling and move the foil to the back of the tracks for wind foiling . Equipped with inserts for 4 foot-straps and a mast track, the board can also be used as a normal windsurf board for light wind wave riding.
CONSTRUCTION
The PAPENOO WINDFOIL convertible is further reinforced on deck and
around the foot-straps: the whole area running from the mast track to the foil
insert is strengthened by DOUBLE BAMBOO reinforcement.
BAMBOO DECK VERSION
The BAMBOO DECK construction has been proven for many years of production and offers a weight to resistance ratio with great reliability. The deck features a 2nd layer of bamboo to provide a tough impact and crushing resistance while the many layers of reinforcement on the bottom ensures solid strength.
ON THE WATER
Our team already knew the feeling of foiling with a kite but the first windsurfing tests brought in some new sensations! The sensations are totally new and absolutely gripping. Surfing the waves or a non-breaking swell up on a foil is truly magical. In windsurf mode everything becomes so silent and so smooth. The efficiency of the foil in light winds is a real advantage as it becomes possible to use a much smaller rig for a given wind strength.
The PAPENOO truly is an incredible & extremely versatile board, proving excellent in so many different disciplines: SUP, Windsurf, Supfoil & Windfoil!
This board is available in 7’11’’ x 30.5” – 123L
