Hyperslide 128L Hybrid Freeride Board
15 May 2024When the Olympic Windsurfing movement began to feel the need to embrace foiling, the 'hybrid' board was considered the best solution rather than a dedicated foil board. A foiling dedicated board can be micro-sized, and hydrodynamical considerations become less relevant; indeed, the deck layout of straps and ergonomics become the greater part of the focus. Conversely, the hybrid board must perform as a conventional freeride board with a deep Tuttle box. Therefore, hydrodynamics, in addition to deck ergonomics, remains the designer's prima facie concern.
- The ability to affix a foil of your choice adds versatility without limiting your use to one endeavour or another.
- The undersurface features a forward concave to cushion re-entries when foiling and smooth out corrugated water surfaces.
- The rail profiles balance control in the turns and limit tripping at high speeds.
- Quick on the plane, the Mistral Hyperslide rides beautifully with purpose and accelerates with ease and minimal retardation from drag.
- Foot strap positions permit in-board and out-board settings, considering conventional outboard feet positioning for regular use and possible in-board settings when foiling as suits the individual.
The Mistral Hyperslide was designed with this in mind and a collaborative concept by Ernstfried Prade and Steve West.
With a volume of 128L, the design accommodates a wide variety of body weights, from light to heavy.
With specs of 239cm x 76.6m x 10.9cm, this board is designed to get up and going easily.
