Raptor 5'8''
Ideal for
Learning and progressing
Summary
The Raptor board shapes focus on those learning to foil. The 5'8'' size is a great board for small to medium-sized riders to learn on and the perfect size for larger intermediate riders ready to move down to a smaller board. Both sizes should be the first boards you consider buying after your first steps in Wing Foiling school.
Description
Raptor 5'8''
These larger, higher-volume Raptor wing foil boards are perfect for riders new to Wing Foiling. They are stable, even off the foil, allowing easy paddling and smooth lift-off.
The Raptor 5.8 and 5.11 bottoms have been improved with bottom chine added and the chisel tail removed, providing better glide and easier release from the water at lift-off. More experienced riders will also enjoy a lighter weight and improved construction.

FUSION SKIN TECHNOLOGY (FST) is the stiffest drop-stitch material you can build an inflatable board with. This material has a low-stretch, high tensile skin, which is heat-fused onto the base fabric. When inflated, this stiffer skin, combinedwith the compound curves of the rails, makes this board superstiff at only 15 psi.
