CF1600
The Carving Freeride 1600 is our go to foil for smaller wave riding, downwind swell riding, SUP and wake surf.
Although perfectly suited for beginners of all foil disciplines the CF1600 is the multi tool of the foil world.
The CF1600 setup in combo with the stiff mast/fuselage is specifically developed to be the most stable and easy carving foil available.
The CF1600 is designed to get you up and flying on the foil easily at low speed. This high lift front wing produces smooth progressive lift at low speeds, together with the new generation wingtips making it easier to control as the foil starts to accelerate. The other advantage of this wing is that due to the unique foil section it has a built in speed control, once up to speed it will stop accelerating which gives you time to concentrate on just riding the foil.
The CF1600 is the perfect foil choice for small to mid size surf or SUP foiling, the best all round wake foil and an amazing fun light wind carving kite foil.
Wing area: 1600cm2 (248in2)
Wing span: 780mm
Weight: 1600g
- The main wings are shaped for maximum stability and predictability at all speeds.
- The foil sections have been carefully designed by one of the world’s foremost sport wing designers.
- Continuous testing and refinement helped us find a combination of planform, leading and trailing edge sweep and the right amount of anhedral curve that delivers super smooth flow, giving a more connected surf like feeling while on the fly.
- Construction is based around a high-density foam core which is encapsulated in Aramid cloth before being wrapped with 100% High Modulus Carbon.
All Foil kits or separate parts include a protective bag.

Foiling Disciplines
Down Wind Foil
With a strong wind on your back and a decent wind swell it’s possible to get on the foil using either a SUP paddle or even from the traditional surf position if you have the skills. Imagine cruising on open ocean swells, covering serious distance at speed…endless!
Wake Foil
Fun easy way to get foil time is being towed behind a boat and when your skills are good enough it’s possible to just ride and carve the wake of the boat without the rope. Great way to learn to foil, perfect for practicing your carving and when the water chops up you still get a smooth ride.
Surf Foil
Same as traditional surfing but when you pop up to your feet you go the next level and ride the foil on the wave. This brings a whole aspect to surfing, it opens up more potential then ever before now that the waves energy can be ridden with the performance of the Surf Foil. Unmakeable waves could be makeable now, foil surf can open new waves, outer banks and reefs that would not be possible to surf on a standard surfboard.
Sup Foil
Probably the best way to get onto a wave, simply paddle in and ride the foil on the swell, even before it breaks. Easy step for anyone that already surfs a SUP and wants to learn to foil. So much potential for ripping on small to medium waves but once mastered, riding big surf is also possible.
Kite Foil
Already a very popular option for Kiteboarders/surfers all over the world. Using the kite to give you the power and speed to foil. It’s crazy, in less than 5 knots of wind it’s possible to foil at speeds up to 30 knots using a kite. If you are already kiteboarding learning to ride the foil is quite easy and opens a whole new aspect to the sport.
Tow Foil
Best way to get into some big swell riding is with a Jet Ski. You need some serious foil riding skills but it is possible to ride massive swells and waves. Needless to say we are going to see some crazy foil riding as the boundaries get pushed in this area!
