\n<\/strong>Constantly improving the level of performance and sailing comfort, our products are subject to constant optimization.<\/p>\n
\nTo achieve this, we have developed the construction of all the components of a foil designed for windsurfing. The construction of a windfoil is extremely complex and high-tech. Because of the considerable forces at work, all components require perfect development, production and skill.<\/p>\n

\nThe mast and the fuselage are the structure of the foil. The quality of these two parts is of paramount importance for obtaining the best performance of the front wing and the stabilizer.<\/p>\n
\nThe minimal drag of the ProFOIL.F1 is the component for which nothing is left to chance.
\nThe choice of the mast profile, the shape of the fuselage and especially the recess of the wings and stabilizers are without equivalent compared with other foils on the market.<\/p>\n
\nThe preparation of the surfaces is the condition of the performance of all wings, mast and fuselage. All composite pieces are sanded in five steps to achieve the best factor of water on water gliding.
\nOur parts are bare, without primer, without paint or varnish which impose an unnecessary load and often conceal
\nfaults.<\/p>\n
