The Take Off is the Foiler’s board of choice for anything wing, foil surf, foil downwind and more. This is a true all-round foil board that caters for first-time flyers getting started in foiling all the way through to experienced foilers looking to get high and go fast. an all-new bottom shape, release edges, rocker, volume and outline. The slight tail-rocker allows waves to be caught with ease, whether powered by paddle or wing.

WINGBOARD vs TAKE OFF
From our experience, there is a lot of overlap between these ranges, with both models highly suitable for wing foiling. The Wingboard is a little easier to recover touch-downs and releases from the water with less rider-input. However, applying a little more active technique on the Take Off and it releases very well, possibly more easily than the Wingboard when pumping the foil.  The Take Off is the more versatile shape, being suited to SUP foiling too, with the more rounded outline allowing more aggressive carving when low to the water, whether on a wave or in transitions.
