This board and foil class takes the fun from classic light wind freeriding with 7.5 metre sails into the 8 to 14 knot range - with sails under seven square metres! Five combinations of board and foil have been tested, including two sporty representatives and two sets that make foiling easier than ever without getting boring. You can find the test reports in surf 10-2024 and an additional overview of the details here.
2024 Duotone Sting Ray 126 SLS + Duotone Aero Free 1250
The Duotone set impressed in the test with a comfortable stance on the board with good foiling characteristics and a high-quality foil that is already quite sporty for the freeride class.
Gunsails Hy-Foil 1350
The best value in the test is impressive and has nothing to hide, especially in terms of performance. The foil was tested in the JP Free-Foil 130.
JP-Australia FreeFoil 130 + NeilPryde GlideWind HP 1300
In the test, the board showed consistently good freeride foiling characteristics, whereas the corresponding foil, which has already been available for several seasons, now looks sophisticated in the current competition.
Severne Alien 125 + Severne RedWing 1400
Red colour indicates danger - this does not apply to the Alien. The Alien and RedWing test shows how easy freeride foiling can be. Fluid, dry foil jibes are a realistic goal.
Starboard Freeride Foil + Starboard Super-Cruiser 1300
If you think the simplicity of the Severne foil can't be beaten, we recommend a round on the Starboard set.
