Why Choose the WF-1 V4?
Exceptionally Lightweight
The compact outline and lightweight XR construction reduce swing weight for quicker reactions, efficient pumping, and effortless direction changes.
Direct Foil Response
Carbon reinforcement through the tail and foil-track area increases stiffness, helping transfer rider input directly into the foil with minimal wasted energy.
Built to Pump and Carve
Its short, responsive shape is designed to maintain momentum through pumping while making tight banks and aggressive turns feel precise and controlled.
Tunable Foil Position
Adjustable twin foil tracks let riders move the foil forward or aft to fine-tune balance, lift, and responsiveness for their size and riding preference.
Construction and Features
Premium XR Construction
Bamboo reinforcement through the board’s belly combines with carbon stringers to create a lively, lightweight platform engineered for high-performance foiling.
Carbon-Reinforced Tail
Strategic carbon reinforcement around the tail and foil tracks improves stiffness and supports rapid energy transfer between the board and hydrofoil.
Inline Footstrap Inserts
Built-in inserts allow riders to install compatible half straps or full footstraps according to their preferred stance and riding style.
Corduroy EVA Deck Pad
The soft, textured EVA deck pad provides dependable traction and comfortable board control during starts, pumping, carving, and touchdowns.
