FMX Racing Windsurf foil board Hyperion 2023

COMPETITION SLALOM/RACE FOIL - PWA WORLD CUP WINNER

• Size: 138 / 158 / 178 / 214
• Discipline: Foil Racing

FMX Racing boards have proven their performance multiple times on the 2022 major race events, with Maciek's Rutkowski PWA World Champion title as a culmination. Hyperions 138, 158 and 178 are high performance competition slalom foil boards for 2023 with a completely re-designed hull inspired by the trends seen in other foil disciplines such as the AC75 hulls. It cuts through the wind more efficiently, with lower drag coefficients versus previous models. New mast track concave designs resulting in increased airflow efficiency across the deck at high speeds. Overall performance has been improved through the new tail design, new cutouts design, new outline and once again utilizing the vertical rails concept to balance the board through the air.

The Hyperion 214 is the new FW Foil Class 100cm wide machine that will take the course racing foil scene by force. More power over the foil due to the massive 99cm tail equates to higher pointing angles upwind and deeper downwind angles, especially in under-powered conditions. Revised race foil scoop-rocker line for easier handling, explosive acceleration and top-speed in both flat water and choppy foiling conditions. A proven curve that generates enough lift whilst still releasing drag, a key performance component of modern foil racing. Equiped with Gorilla Backfoot Pad’ which is made with a one piece 6mm deck pad from rail to rail on the back foot to facilitate comfort and grip during high speed gybe manoeuvres.

The Hyperions secure excellent top speed and acceleration and should be your weapon of choice, if you want to fight for the crown of the fastest foiler on the water. 

Features

•  Toro Tail II  –  Innovative new tail design.
  • Reduces drag over the deck by significantly shortening the relative length of the board for the airflow, whilst still maintaining a stable gybing area for the feet.
  • Benefits all-aspect acceleration with an increased top speed ceiling and ‘slippery release’ off the tail.
  • Overall hull and tail ‘dead weight’ savings from a reduction in size of the foil box (heaviest part of the build).
  • A windsurfing industry first. Taking it to the next level!
• Durepox Xtreme ® - America’s Cup grade ultra high-tech bottom paint finish currently used by Team NZ!
  • Proven faster release for that extra ‘slip’ = higher speeds.
  • Harder and more durable than normal paint finishes.
  • A windsurfing industry first. Taking it to the next level!

• Ultra compact length and reduced nose/tail width for reduced power for higher crosswind top speeds, combined with a very solid feeling of stability under the feet to gain those extra meters of advantage at full tilt. Excellent glide and acceleration in the air. 
• T-Beam style coned deck shape/vertical rails – Increases light wind power, drive, general stability at low speeds and also nose trim stability at high foiling speeds.
• Revised slalom foil scoop-rocker line for easier handling, explosive acceleration and top-speed in both flat water and choppy foiling conditions. A proven curve that generates enough lift whilst still releasing drag, a key performance component of modern foil racing.
• ‘V5 Vector Cuts’  – New straight line cutout design that facilitates clean and effortless water and airflow release exiting the tail for ultra fast planing onto the foil, reduction of overall drag resulting in effortless top end speed and also a quick release when touching down.
• FOIL Tuttle Strong Box – Double the carbon content, double the wall strength and stiffness, double the width compared to a normal tuttle box, and built with a 100% high-density PVC sandwich body. The result – foils stay tight and the box holds the direct feeling performance even after prolonged use.
