Product Features

	WHO IS THE ABOVE FOR? Similar to riding a bike, the longer length and narrower width of the Above board help you glide earlier and faster. This creates greater stability by gaining momentum rather than simply trying to balance—just like riding a bike. As a result, there is rising demand for these “mid-length” style designs. The Above caters to a wide range of riders, from entry-level to advanced. More stable than an Ace, more efficient than a Take Off, the Abve is a blend of these 2 designs. WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THE SHAPE? Additional volume in the nose and tail allows for an even stance over the foil before takeoff, while the combination of a longer and narrower outline easily generates speed for early lift-off. A parallel nose with sharp rails gives the Above easy-to-recover touchdowns with instant rebound. The Above concept was inspired by blending our favorite models, incorporating speed and fast lift-off from our narrower Ace range and ideas from our top designs over the years.


Vee Shaped Nose Inspired by the proven X-15 and Take Off ranges, the Vee nose reduces drag for early take-offs, allowing you to get up flying faster. It is more forgiving on touchdowns, enabling quick recovery to rebound and continue flying. The nose is slightly wider than the Ace Foil, providing greater control and stability before flight.	Parallel Mid-section The mid-section of the outline is kept straight for a predictable and balanced ride. This improves overall stability and tracking for a controlled glide to take-off.	Flat Deck The deck is kept flat to utilize the full width, offering more space and comfort from these narrow outlines. It remains thin over the foil for control and responsiveness, while the nose and tail volume balance the trim.

Round Pin Tail Drawing from the success of the Ace, the pin tail helps pop the board out of the water. As you shift your weight to sink the tail, the nose lifts, forcing you to lift out of the water. The tail has a slight Vee for an efficient release, ensuring fast speed and efficiency. The wider tail offers more stability for a controlled take-off.	Boxy Rails Boxy rails reduce the overall width while maintaining the stability of a wider board, leading to better efficiency and faster take-offs. This design feature, inspired by years of race development, allows riders to manage narrower boards easily.	Bottom Shape A rounded vee nose helps for efficient take offs and recovers well on touch downs, feeding to a flat bottom for maximum stability, exiting with a round tail for a smooth release.

Customisable Inserts Triple inserts are provided with the Above, giving you the ability to customise your footstrap position.	14” US BOX The 14″ US box with a rear slot provides various foil positions depending on the foil type, riding style, and conditions.	CARRY HANDLE Our largest Above models feature a large carry handle for easy carrying, while medium sizes are fitted with the mini handle. The smallest Above model has no handle for further reduction in weight.

SCRATCH PROTECT NOSE STICKER Protects your board from scratches and dings when placed on the ground, giving you peace of mind before and after your session.	FOOTSTRAP SET INCLUDED Designed for optimal comfort and performance in wingboarding, the footstrap features premium Yulex neoprene for a soft yet secure fit. With a 60-degree angle, it molds perfectly to your foot. Multiple screw holes offer adjustability, allowing riders to customize their positioning and angle.	Board Sock Included Reduces paper waste while protecting your board from dust, scratches, and UV damage. Made with stretchable polyester, it fits various board shapes. Ensure optimal board maintenance with the iconic blue Board Sock, featuring a secure drawstring closure.
