CR:X Neilpryde One-Design Hydrofoil Twintip Package
IN A NUTSHELL...
The CR:X Neilpryde One-Design Hydrofoil Twintip Package has been designed to be ridden in two distinctly different modes for varying conditions and race formats: Twin Tip Mode & Hydrofoil Mode
Design details
TWIN TIP MODE
In twin tip mode, the board is paired with premium dual density bindings. The bindings are lightweight, extremely comfortable and adjustable for each individual's size and personal preference. In combination with our 60mm racing fins, the board meets class dimensions for the IKA Twin Tip class rules.
The CR:X TT Binding complete set includes:
- Upper Straps
- Pads
- Handle
- Fins
- Plugs
- Allen key with hardware
HYDROFOIL MODE
The CR:X foil package has been designed to promote progressive racing. The moderate aspect ratio wing is fast yet forgiving. The wing profile allows the first time foiler to easily lift up at low speeds, yet the wings have low enough drag that the athlete can drive the foil at speed around the race course.
Shims
A unique feature of the CR:X foil package is the ability to change the angle of attack of the rear wing. This is possible due to different shim sizes that may be adjusted based on the individual's preferences. This allows a first time rider to increase the angle and provide more lift, making it easier to get foiling. As the rider's skills progress they may reduce this angle thus reducing drag and increasing top end speed and performance.
Wings
The CR:X foil wings are molded from a super tough carbon composite, ensuring they are durable and hard-wearing. The consistency of the construction of each wing is critical, as the equipment must be the same for each athlete. To achieve this the wings are molded under very high pressure, providing a high quality and consistent finish.
Mast & Fuselage
Both the mast and fuselage are made from aircraft grade 6061 aluminium that is stiff, lightweight, durable and affordable, in comparison to a full carbon piece. The Titanium bolts reduce effects of corrosion. All bolts in the CR:X package use the same compact hex tool provided in the CR:X kit, removing the need to travel with a full range of tools and spares.
In hydrofoil mode the board can be fitted with either a central two-strap setup for freeriding or a three-strap racing setup. The footstraps are comfortable on the feet due to the premium neoprene used in construction. The high grip layer on the inside of the strap increases the connectivity with the board at speed, improving control and handling characteristics whilst foiling.
