About FEATHER
New shapes for FEATHER make for an exciting new lineup of Reedin foil boards. We’ve carefully tuned each shape to match what their volume is most often used for.
Feather boards have been designed with one simple objective: to be as easy and fun as possible. We have repositioned the foilboxes further forward, in order to have the rider very centered on the board,. This has two advantages: the balance position for pre-take off is the same as the riding position avoiding the need to readjust as the board is getting on foil. It also makes the overall board feel smaller with less inertia when turning because the length behind the back foot cancels the weight in front of the front foot.
New for this year, we’ve made them longer and narrower to make take-offs much easier and more forgiving, while keeping it stable on the water. This shape makes it glide through the water easily, and the increased rocker makes it more forgiving on touchdowns and easier to ride in choppy conditions.
Key points
All new shapes
New for this year, we’ve made feather longer and narrower to make them easier to ride and more forgiving, while keeping them stable on the water. This shape makes them glide through the water easily, and the increased rocker makes it more forgiving on touchdowns and easier to ride in choppy conditions.
Unique shapes per size
Our Feather range covers everything from 20L to 138L and between. As sizes change, so do the disciplines they will be used for. That’s why every single Feather size has a unique shape, carefully designed to give you the best characteristics possible.
Earlier take-offs
By making the boards longer and narrower, there is less water displacement, meaning you will have more speed when still on the water, and accelerate faster when starting to pump.
Quiver killers
Our new shapes make FEATHER glide a lot better, making them so much easier in light-wind take-offs. This means you could ride a size smaller than you’re used to, or stick to your size and greatly increase your low-end riding capabilities.
Balanced foil position
We’ve rebalanced the foil position, giving you a more centered stance on the board. This way, you barely feel the extra length we added, and experience minimal swing-weight.
Forgiving
A carefully tuned rocker in the smaller sizes makes for forgiving touchdowns and easier paddling when kitefoiling, surf-foiling, and winging.
