DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Performance and Lightness
The full carbon construction and new layup of the 2026 Soar SLS provide a lively response and an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio. On the water, you'll feel a direct transmission of pressure to the foil, which is ideal for those seeking precision and responsiveness during high-speed phases and technical maneuvers.
Easy Starts and Forgiveness
The volume positioned under the front foot and the pronounced nose rocker facilitate smooth starts, even in light wind. The board gains forgiveness during landings and transitions, which helps with progression or chaining more technical tricks.
Upwind Performance and Optimized Shape
Optimized rails improve upwind performance and tracking. You'll feel better efficiency on tacks where every meter counts. This makes sessions more productive and fluid.
Versatility of Use
Multiple footstrap inserts allow for different setups: strapless, centered, or off-center straps depending on your style. The open foil tracks facilitate mounting and adjusting the foil to adapt the board to your preferences and the day's conditions.
Durability and Control
The full carbon construction gives the Soar SLS durability suited to the demands of foil while maintaining a reduced weight. The result: a board that remains high-performing session after session without compromising the ride feel.
