Falcon Foil TE
Performance Foiling
Sizes: 144 / 177 / 188 / 199
Our dedicated performance foil board, the Falcon Foil TE is designed not only to get you up and foiling in the lightest winds, but also to give you maximum control of a high-powered foil around a racecourse.
For 2022, we have developed three new models for high-end foil slalom: The 144l for high wind slalom/long distance racing and speed, 177l for free foil slalom, women and lighter riders and the 188l, our flagship PWA World Cup edition. All three models are 100% dedicated foil slalom racing machines.
The 199l model is specifically designed to win foil course racing.
The wide tail and parallel rails give a very balanced stance out on the rail, which is crucial for control when foiling at top speed – whether you are hiking upwind or reaching.
The shape has an optimized stance for use with large race sails, so that you can effectively drive the foil hard to gain every ounce of performance, while the nose has bevelled rails and vee to absorb those occasional touchdowns without slowing you down.
Our Falcon Foil 177 comes additionally in our budget friendly BXF technology.

This top quality and technologically advanced high-spec Biax Carbon, has a perfect weight / stiffness ratio as a result of its very fine weave and dynamic flex. Full Biax Carbon is used on the deck and bottom of the bigger Falcons for maximum stiffness and lightest weight possible. On the smaller Falcons and on the Falcon Speed boards, it is used solely on the deck for better flex of the board in choppy conditions. When combined with the PVC sandwich technology and Glass reinforcements, the Biax / Carbon provides a balanced stiffness / flex / weight ratio.
