Board Foil Swell 2024 Titanium

Description
 Pocket frother. Foam chaser. No wave is “too” anything for the Swell, our dedicated prone surf foilboard with an intuitive, direct connection to your foil. Engineered with a lightweight yet durable hybrid carbon construction with high-density dual stringers, the Swell feels stiff, responsive and manoeuvrable. Grip-friendly concaved forward rails make duckdiving and pop-ups a breeze and the wedged tail shape improves pumpability. For 2024 we’ve introduced an efficient tri-plane hull design for more stable, fast-release take-offs and effortless touchdown recovery. A lower entry rocker and refined profile in each size gives the board more effective surface area, helping to support your weight when prone and increase your paddling speed. The board’s new non-abrasive max-traction heat-embossed deck grip features a centreline ridge and transverse markers for tactile and visual stance referencing. The integrated tail kickpad features cutouts for your feet while prone paddling. Catch more waves with ease with the new Swell.

Materials

Refined bevelled rails

 The slightly finer bevelled rails have been tuned to match the smoother rocker.

 Bevelled rails help with touchdown recovery, creating a wider deck with a narrower footprint. The effect is like having a smaller board. You don’t stick when you touch the water, but you still have the standing area for comfort.

Thinner profile

 Decreasing the thickness in the centre of the board redistributes volume through the nose and tail, lifting the rider higher out of the water and improving the nose-to-tail stability and paddling speed.

 

Redefined rocker line

 For 2024, we’ve decreased the tip of the Swell’s nose rocker.

 The flatter board creates more effective surface area, helping to improve your paddling speed. The rocker through the midsection of the board is designed for optimal wave fit and forgiving release.

New tri-plane hull

 Designed for earlier takeoffs and faster release.

 The double V-shape in the bottom contour of the board is created by a single concave in the centre with an angled planing surface on each side. The water tracks from the central concave and side rails to the two longitudinal spines, allowing the board to lift and release quickly, without sticking. The angled-planing surfaces run right through to the tail, allowing you to touch down on more variable rail angles without catching.

Deep recessed deck for control and pumpability

 The concaved deck, especially in the standing area, positions the rider’s feet level with the foil for more efficient pumping.

 It also gives you greater leverage, responsiveness, and heel/toe roll control. The recessed deck results in most of the board’s volume being shifted out toward the rails, in turn providing greater balance and stability on takeoffs and touchdown. It also helps you get your front foot through more easily, so you can get to your feet faster.

Compact outline with redistributed volume

 The shorter the board, the more effective it is for pumping, the less swing weight, and more manoeuvrable it is when riding up on the foil.

 The wide point of the board is under your chest, which supports the load better when you’re paddling, and means the board’s centre of buoyancy is under your front foot when you pop up – helping it rebound.

Easy to grab bevelled rails

 Grip-friendly concaved forward rails make duckdiving and pop-ups child's play.

 We've added a concave to the forward rail, so it's easier to hold and balance. While riding you can grab the rail for added stability and control of your foil. The concaved bevelled rail also allows your fingers to stay clear of the planing surface, eliminating drag during take-offs.

Crisp release tapered tail

 The defined edge on the tail allows for faster release off the water and drag-free touchdowns. The wedged tail shape reduces tail-strike when pumping.

 

New customisable strap insert positions

 Multiple positioning options for each strap allow you to personalise your stance - or go strapless.

 Centreline and offline strap insert options accommodate both goofy or natural riding. (Straps sold separately)

Hybrid Carbon Technology

 Lighter weight construction for stiffness, manoeuvrability, and glide.

 The stiffer the board, the better it will pump and the more responsive it feels. A light yet durable epoxy composite laminate, with a balanced carbon and e-glass fibre layup is wrapped around an EPS core. High-density closed cell PVC reinforcement around the foil track mount, leash plug, and foot strap inserts spreads the load. An ultra-lightweight double bamboo reinforcement layer under the standing area adds greater impact resistance and rigidity.

Integrated high-density structural stringer system

 The DropBox foil mounting tracks are embedded into a high-density closed-cell PVC block.

 Two high-density PVC stringers are glued to each side of this block, distributing the load lengthwise, and the full system connects the top and bottom laminate skins for maximum support.

DropBox Adjustable Fast Foil Mounting Track

 Speed-dial your foil setup. Simply drop your foil pre-assembled with screws and t-nuts into the track, slide it backwards, then tighten the screws to fasten.

 Our unique structurally-integrated DropBox has a longer track for a wider adjustment range, allowing you to precision-tune the foil set up for your rider weight. A measurement guide next to the track aids correct positioning. Industry-standard 90mm track spacing means the Swell is compatible with most foil systems.

GORE™ waterproof 2-way vent

 The EPS core of a high volume board is affected by extreme temperature changes.

 To prevent air pressure build-up we’ve installed a two-way GORE™ Protective Vent on the top deck. This allows air to pass in and out of the board, while preventing water from entering. The vent is factory-fitted and does not require any adjustment.

Non-abrasive high traction deck grip

 For a more intuitive and direct connection to your foil, high traction non-abrasive heat-embossed deckpad with centre-line ridge allows fast, easy tactile foot placement.

 Tail kickpad with cutouts on the Swell for your feet while prone paddling.  Transverse markers on the deckpad provide a visual stance reference.
