SMIK WING SLAB V2

In the ever rapidly evolving times of wing board development the Smik wing boards have evolved with the optimum balance of early lift with minimal friction/drag when rails and tails catch on the water when flying or turning. Retail and customers are already finding them to be a market leader in terms of performance and a marked improvement on the previous incarnation.

​Nose Volume has been reduced to reduce swing weight enhancing reactivity, whilst being less effected by wind, without reducing stability. 

​A refined chined rail has been further enhanced to reduce the catching of rails when they come into contact with the water, pulling in at the tail for pulling tighter carves, where the tail has a propensity to touch the surface, reducing the effects of catching

​Kicker in the rocker is maintained as it certainly sell helps to reduce water catching, but has been shortened to increase the flat  in the rocker to enhance early lift off.

​​Footstrap and foil positioning in relationship to this volume is what's critical,  where we feel we have the balance just right for the perfect flight. 

​The outline maintains width in the nose and tail for stability whilst maintaining an aesthetically pleasing surf style look. The new hipped pintail maintains area at the back foot, whilst combining with the bottom shape of the chine, pulling in behind the back foot. The reason being during tighter turns and coming off the lip, quite often the corners of the tail tail would be catching as you tend to ride lower to the water in tight turns to keep foil tips from  breaching and cavitating
