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.
