2025 X-15 Windfoil Board

The side profile of the new design is around 10mm thinner, and the rails are much thinner, which reduces aerodynamic drag, and further minimizes the negative effect of side winds interfering with board trim at high speed on the foil. As a result, the 2025 board is even more slippery and stable through the air than the previous benchmarks.

Increasing the bottom wetted surface length by 15cm over previous boosts early subplaning speed and transition onto the foil. This makes takeoffs with smaller highspeed foil wings significantly more efficient, faster and easier.

Extensive cutaways decrease drag before take-off and accelerate the transition into flight mode by quickly reducing wetted surface area as speed increases.

A flatter profile under the back foot area reduces rolling action, improves control and highspeed confidence, both at speed and mid gybe.

Recessed mast track keeps the centre of drive lower and drastically increases your control. Going into gusts or wind holes, sudden power changes or unexpected board movements become easy to control.

Bringing the rear strap 3cm inboard delivers more confident control in extreme situations, while at the same time allowing for an outward “on rail” stance alternative for light wind efficiency when required.

The Jim Drake Slick foot straps are made with FSC-certified, sustainably sourced and plant-based Yulex foam. With 85% natural rubber content, CO² emitted during manufacturing is reduced by 80%. The remaining 15% of synthetic neoprene is kept to improve UV resistance, carefully sourced with the smoothest fabric for a comfortable feel.

There are fewer impacts to absorb when foiling, so we’ve designed the pads to be extra thin for added control and kept the diamond grooves for the perfect grip.

THE FLAGSHIP CONSTRUCTION

The Carbon Reflex construction is our lightest, proven flagship construction and has some of the lowest warranty rates in the industry. Using the lightest biaxial carbon provides more feel, more responsiveness and more controlled flex than conventional boards. On the water, this construction will provide you with ultimate performance. It delivers the most direct feedback from the foil and allows for quicker and more precise movements. With the Carbon Reflex construction you’ll start foiling earlier.
