Foil Kits

The first novelty is the possibility to purchase not only complete kits or individual components but also the "glider," a kit consisting exclusively of the front wing, fuselage, and stabilizer.

Complete kits also include the Quick Release System, a carrying bag, and all the screws, accessories, and tools required. Covers for individual components are not included. The glider kits, on the other hand, do not include any additional accessories apart from the screws needed for assembly.

The catalog also includes a range of kits built using Carbonglass technology, offered at a particularly competitive price.

  • Carbonglass Glider: €690
  • Masts with integrated plate: €690

The Carbonglass kits feature successful front wing models from previous collections (models: 699, 799, 899, 999, 940, 945, 790, 1100, and 1250). The fuselages in the Carbonglass kits are compatible with all wings with the T8 connection, as well as with all stabilizers and masts in the 2025 collection.


Connection Systems

The two types of connections between the front wing and fuselage remain unchanged:

  • T6
  • T8

Sabfoil’s front wings are therefore divided into two main families:

  • T6 Connection

    • Models: Blade and Razor Pro
    • Compatible with T6 fuselages: F603K, F653K, F713K, F1003K
  • T8 Connection

    • Models: Medusa Pro, Balz Pro, Leviathan, and Leviathan Pro
    • Compatible with T8 fuselages: F663K, F703K, F753K, F903K

The connection system between the fuselage and mast is uniform across the entire collection and is called R8: all masts are compatible with all fuselages.

For masts, the connection system to the board must be purchased separately, with the following options:

  • Carbon plate
  • Deep Tuttle attachment

Additionally, the quick release system is available, allowing the mast to be detached from the board by unscrewing a single pin.


Front Wings

Masts

Sabfoil masts are distinguished by innovative features that combine high performance, modularity, and refined design.

Main Features:

  • Modularity with the Kraken Modular System:
    Sabfoil masts are compatible with both plate and deep tuttle connections, offering flexibility to use the same mast with boards featuring different attachments.

  • SAB Pro Finish:
    Each mast is hand-finished with a matte surface and zero-thickness graphics, combining an elegant look with optimized performance. This attention to detail reflects Sabfoil's commitment to excellence.

  • Titanium Inserts:
    All masts are equipped with titanium inserts for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring a lightweight yet sturdy product.

  • Quick Release System:
    The patented Quick Release system allows you to assemble and disassemble your hydrofoil in seconds by unscrewing a single pin, leaving the plate attached to the board.

Note: Carbon Rail Plate, Deep Tuttle, and Quick Release systems are sold separately.

Mast Lines:

  1. Kraken Line: Versatile range designed for excelling in all disciplines. Features balanced designs and carefully selected carbon layers for high-performance foiling.
  2. Kraken Pump: Ideal for SUP foiling and pumping, offering rigidity and efficiency with thick profiles tailored for large front wings.
  3. Red Devil (R8): High-modulus carbon masts designed for uncompromising performance.
  4. Carbonglass: A cost-effective option combining carbon and fiberglass for a thick, rigid profile with an integrated carbon plate.

Stabilizers

The stabilizer is an integral part of the hydrofoil, designed to modify the characteristics of a specific front wing by emphasizing certain features or smoothing out others. By changing the stabilizer, you can adjust lift and glide, improve top speed, increase stability, or enhance maneuverability.

The stabilizers are divided into three main categories:

  • Gullwing: stability and control

    • SG/380: 180 cm² - AR 8.10
    • SG/430: 240 cm² - AR 7.70
    • SG/480: 285 cm² - AR 8.10
  • Flat: fast and agile

    • SF/325: 155 cm² - AR 7.00
    • SF/370: 195 cm² - AR 7.00
    • SF/425: 266 cm² - AR 6.80
  • Reverse: balance between maneuverability and stability

    • SR/355: 160 cm² - AR 8.08
    • SR/375: 178 cm² - AR 8.08
    • SR/395: 198 cm² - AR 8.08

Wings (ALA)

An exciting new development for 2025 is the ALA wings.

These wings feature a hybrid construction that combines Cuben Fiber-Dyneema Composite for the leading edge and DKC 160 for the strut, achieving the perfect balance between stiffness and lightness. Additionally, the ALA wings are equipped with a triple-layer STW18 from Techfiber, which not only ensures UV resistance but also enhances overall durability while maintaining excellent consistent tension.

The compact freeride design of these wings, optimized with refined sail tension, a V-shaped outline, and dynamic reflex, enhances upwind and downwind performance and facilitates take-off. They are ideal for Freeride, Freestyle, and Wave disciplines, offering superior versatility and agility across various activities. This design is perfect for enthusiasts seeking high-performance and versatile gear.
