JS BLACK EAGLE FOIL (inc Grip & Cover)

Our very own Wooly has been lucky enough to have the privilege to be involved in the development of the JS foil boards over the past couple of years and has been riding them for the past 2 years.

After a few years of development with a bunch of the staff at JS, (including Parko) the boys have come up with a full carbon foil board that is not only super light but rigid so you feel connected to the wing below.

FROM JS

We built our Black Eagle to be as stiff as possible, ensuring all of your energy is transferred directly to the foil without losing force due to board flex. 100% carbon construction combined with twin stringers serve this purpose perfectly, while also keeping the board super light for effortless lift out of the water.

The twin stringers also reinforce the entire board for added strength, particularly around the future boxes holding the foil in place. A scoop deck makes sure your feet are closer to the foil for quicker response, while beveled rails and deep double concave in the nose stops the board sticking to the water whenever it touches back down.

Additionally, this early double concave acts as two channels, helping you paddle straight, pop up and get to wave speed quickly.

Remember – when sizing your foil board, similar to regular surfing, riding shorter boards makes turning much easier. As you become more comfortable, all you need is enough volume to float you comfortably, but initially, a few more litres will help with paddle power and stability. See team rider reference below.
