The AV8 hydrofoil is a stunning work of art. Made from full prepreg carbon composite, the AV8 foil assembly is as beautiful as it is technical. Its wing is incredibly fast yet infinitely adaptable to wind and water conditions. For a wing with no apparent limit to its top end speed, it’s incredibly stable and forgiving at low speeds. A warrior on the race course and an explorer on the open water.

The AV8 foil board is made from full carbon sandwiched with EPS foam core. With its race oriented design, beveled rails for max lean angle and its extended planing surface, the AV8 will keep you ahead of the pack.
