AK Compact v3 Wing Foil Board 2024

SIZES: 4’2 / 4’4 / 4’6 / 4’8 / 4’10 / 5’2

• Maneuver oriented shape with a parallel outline.
• Wide top rails with a high apex rail for stability.
• Narrow bottom for high-speed turning.

Perfect for intermediate to advanced wing riders in lighter conditions, the stable platform and centralized volume create a board that is easy to throw around when jumping and doing progressive maneuvers. The high apex rail maintains the feel of a narrow board, with stability provided by the additional width when not planing.

KEY FEATURES

CONCAVE DECK
The concave deck lowers the riders center of gravity on the board and places the buoyancy higher on the rails, creating a more stable sub-planing platform. It also makes you feel more connected to the foil, improving the stability and response when pumping and turning.

HIGH APEX RAIL
The high apex combines the stability of a wider board with the ability to turn more aggressively as you would on a board 4 inches narrower. These work in conjunction with the hard release edge in the tail and a softer release in the nose for intuitive touchdowns and fast releases. This unique combination makes the Compact easier to use in lighter wind without sacrificing performance as you get up on the foil.

THICK PROFILE
Packing a surprising amount of float into such a short length reduces the swing weight, keeping the board easy to pump and turn. The volume is optimized for stability and works with the high apex rail to keep the board as nimble as possible.

WIDE NOSE
For pure wing performance, we kept the Compact as short as possible, with the wide nose keeping volume up front, and the rails parallel. This creates directional stability at low and high speeds, and spreads the volume more evenly between the nose and tail.

BOTTOM SHAPE
The rounded nose and softer rails help prevent the nose from sticking on touch downs, instead recovering without losing too much speed. The mid-section runs into a single concave for maximum planing speed and works in conjunction with the hard rails in the tail area for a quick water release during partial touchdowns.

GORE AUTO VENT
GORE auto vents provide a waterproof and breathable solution, thanks to their proprietary GORE Membrane. This breathable membrane has a microporous structure that allows air and gases to pass through freely, so pressures are equalized, and moisture diffused before problems arise.

ATIVE CARBON CONSTRUCTION

• Full biaxial carbon top deck.
• Wood sandwich standing areas.
• Heavy-duty foil connection.

Covering an ultra-lightweight fused EPS core, the Reflex Carbon Innegra shell provides exceptional flex and response. Innegra, an inherently lightweight and impact-resistant material, dissipates and absorbs a tremendous amount of energy, greatly reducing vibrations. The heavy-duty foil connection features a high-density load plate, which carries the load of the foil and connects it to the top deck for a direct connection between the foil and the rider.
