We are excited to officially welcome @romainghio to our wingfoil race & design team 🤝🏽
Romain brings elite-level performance and a sharp technical mindset to both competition and the future of our race wing development.
“For me it’s unbelievable to be in the Dream Team. It was something I was looking at in papers when I was young and now I’m in! I have the opportunity to race and create the best wing ever with the most successful team ever! It’s a big and crazy exciting challenge.”
Engineer. Athlete. Racer.
Stay tuned.

Viva or Source - which wing is for you? 👇🏼
Viva = The quiver killer. Your do-it-all, desert island wing, made to excel anywhere, anyway, anyone. Lightweight, balanced and packing loads of punch whatever you throw at it. Lightwind, strongwind, surf, freestyle, big air - it can do it.
Source = The progressor. Your key to growth, gateway into the world of wingfoiling. No more wingtip catching... this wing will get you up with its grunty centre section but also keep you up with its ultra-compact and cut off wingtips. Clubs, schools, kids, shorter riders - no more excuses to get out on the water!

Inflatable foil boards have improved massively over the last few years, to the point where for many riders they’re now a genuine alternative to composite foil boards.

In this video @supboardermag take a look at why inflatable foil boards have become so good, and the brand that has helped push much of the design and development to make that happen — @starboardfoiling and @starboardsup

From easy transport and great durability, to impressive on-water performance, SUPboarder explore why modern inflatable foil boards now offer far more than many riders realise. Whether you’re into wing foiling, SUP foiling or downwind foiling, inflatable foil boards should definitely be something you consider for your next board or upgrade.

With all the Defi Wing race hype at the moment, let’s talk HOW TO 🏁
Master the Racing Gybe with @romain.ghio on his @x15class setup.
Fast entries, clean transitions, full commitment — here’s how to keep your speed all the way through ⤵️
1. Approach — come in at full speed, fully powered
2. Entry — switch feet early and fast to stay on the foil
3. Body position — stay low, lean into the buoy, eyes looking through the turn
4. Hands — back hand pushes, front hand guides the wing overhead in a smooth arc
5. Carve — drop lower to tighten the turn and hold speed
6. Exit — switch hands, power up, and accelerate out
Stay smooth. Stay committed. Get out there!

After months of anticipation, we’re proud to finally unveil the all-new FUSION foil, designed in collaboration with @benoit_carpentier !
Ride. Carve. Repeat. Feel the progression under your feet 🔥
The FUSION is a morphing medium-aspect foil range built around two distinct personalities — performance carving in the smaller sizes, and effortless progression in the larger ones.
625 / 725 / 825 / 925 — Benoit’s signature sizes and the ultimate wave carving machines. With higher medium-aspect outlines, these wings feel fast, loose and reactive, delivering maximum manoeuvrability and control for wave riding, freestyle and high-wind wing foiling.
1100 / 1400 / 1800 / 2200 — As the range increases in size, the aspect ratio lowers to prioritise early lift, stability and forgiving handling. Perfect for casual riders and progressing foilers looking for smooth take-offs and easy control.
Paired with the all-new BC 155 tail wing — available in both regular and short versions delivering exceptional roll manoeuvrability, speed and acceleration.
