THE FOUNDATION TO A PROPER FLIGHT

The debut of our V2 design based on a tone setting flight for a smooth, stable, centered natural riding position. For riders who prioritize stability and want a board that helps minimize mistakes. A very consistent, medium-tempo, medium-profile board that will always have you in control. One of this boards many strengths is minimizing mistakes - not highlighted being off axis - many riders don’t need a board that creates more energy rather one that will absorb it.  This is all about developing rythym and tempo.

The 727 starts with a neutrally balanced shape and flat top deck that, with the help of foot straps, keeps the rider feeling grounded, centered and in control. From there, the emphasis shifts to water deflection. Exaggerated bevels and increased tip and tail rocker help the board redirect off the water instead of getting caught by it.

Arc Technology Tips. Inspired by snowboard construction, this arced tip profile further reduces the all-too-common dreaded submarine when the board approaches the water at an angle.

Then comes another first: Adjustable kicktail. Leverage and support where ariders foot wants to be - not where it has to be. Now a rider has the option of up to 4" of vertical movement and 30 degrees of side to side adjustability. A massive game changer for a rider that wants added leverage on their backfoot - but the freedom to move their front foot by not using footsteps. Accommodation without compromise.

We also added Speedwalls to a foil board for the first time. In foiling, we aren’t trying to create traction with the water. We’re trying to escape it. Our poured urethane vertical sidewall helps the board release from the waterline faster, allowing the rider to return to their natural flight pattern.

For added security through the learning process, the 727 comes with foot straps along with an adjustable kicktail that can accommodate nearly any desired side-to-side angle or fore-and-aft foot placement. Leverage and support can now be positioned exactly where the rider wants it.

The shape, construction and collection of first-ever features make the new 727 a foundation designed around one goal: creating the most confidence-building platform in wakefoiling. A bulletproof construction wrapped in our Surface Skin that helps break up the water on landings. The materials also put an emphasis on on those untimed hard hitting encounters with a board rack.

ADJUSTABLE KICKTAIL

Leverage and support where a rider’s foot wants to be, not where it has to be. Our patent pending adjustable kicktail offers up to 4" of fore/aft movement and 30 degrees of side-to-side adjustability, putting added leverage exactly where your back foot wants it.

The result is more support through the back foot, while leaving the front foot free to move without being locked into a footstrap.

Adaptability without compromise.

FEATURES

FEATURES 

Available in 4’1, or 4’6 Length

+ Thick profile, deep V / channel bottom, exaggerated bevel for improved water deflection

+ Tufff Tech Construction - We took a popular lightweight surf core and wrapped it in our bulletproof Surface Skin. This construction breaks up the water with less resistance and offers a forgiving ride limiting a riders exposure to riding off center.  

+ Blended EVA Traction Pad – A compound made from both foam and rubber with machined grooves for a softer feel and the best grip in foiling.

+ Handmade by Robots – Every Mod 84 foil board is made from a machined core to the exact tolerance we spec’d out

+ Lava Resin – Made from a high temp resin to withstand extreme heat

+ 10” track length with industry standard 3.5” width between tracks

+ Adjustable Kicktail – Leverage and support where a riders foot wants to be - not where it has to be.

There isn’t a very direct correlation between board size and rider size. We have had 230 lb.riders  preferring the 3’8 and 175 lb. riders enjoying the 4’6. Since there isn’t much contact between the board and the water determining the board push and drive the way that there is on a wakesurf board – instead size is determined by ability and style.

Benefits of a 4’1 length

  • More lift
  • Quicker response
  • More attack angle in cutbacks
  • More power in pumping

Benefits of a 4’6 length.

  • Easier deep water starts 
  • More control
  • More stability
  • Added comfort in rougher water conditions
  • – If you are new to foiling and weigh over 180 lbs. - along with a shorter mast and a balance front wing this 4’6 length will help with your learning curve to foiling

FOIL BOARDS 101

FOIL BOARD 101

There are three styles of boards in wakefoiling. One foil board gets you to the show, the other two are the show


THE FOUNDATION BOARD

727

The first board is about developing your own style and creating a platform that is based on a grounded, stable, predictable riding style that will hide your mistakes - not highlight them. Above all else, this rider prioritizes a construction that will absorb the energy - not magnify it. Along with a shape that will always put you in a nice, centered feeling with a comfortable equal weight distribution on your front and back foot at all times. This board is designed with countless features that will protect you from the unknown variables of foiling all the while building up your confidence to enter the wild exotic rides of our personality boards.

THE PERSONALITY BOARDS

VALKYRIE

This style of rider feels more comfortable applying more weight on their front foot and approaches every pump with a longer cadence - sweeping motion stride that creates the pinnacle of top end speed. This parabolic shape also generates more powerful locked in turns on those high-speed adventures. A board like no other built for attack angle, and top end drive. Made with our Superconductor construction using a foam that is 6x denser than traditional surf core and wrapped in a full carbon exterior creating energy out of a pump or a turn like nothing we have ever experienced.

BLACKBIRD

This style of rider feels more comfortable applying more weight on their back foot and approaching every pump with a more compact vertical pump ideal for quicker, shorter bursts. This style of pump will recover quicker from those untimely dead zones. In addition to high powered sprints – the Blackbird is also ideal for airs and landings. Made with our Superconductor construction using a foam that is 6 x denser than traditional surf core and wrapped in a full carbon exterior creating energy out of a pump or a turn like nothing we have ever experienced.

FLIGHT PATTERNS

We have two high-energy personality boards built to get you to your destination with more flair, speed, and electricity than ever before. they just take you there in completely opposite ways.


The Story

BEFORE WE TELL YOU...

about why we took our time creating a line of foil products – let’s take a stroll down memory lane. Our journey in flight started out MODifiying foils in the summer of 1984 on the Colorado River. It was such a wild experience with speeds as slow as 5mph but the exhilaration as if we were going 25mph. We used foils on kneeboards, wakeboards and even combo skis – yeah true story - we flew on 2 skis (it was pretty sketchy). Mike, Herb and the rest of our crew had some amazing experiences riding all things levitation which led to us making the original Air Chair many moons ago. Foiling never left us – for the past four decades - levitation has been in our DNA as enthusiasts and as creators.

HERB O’BRIEN | A Hydrodynamic Visionary

The greatest mind in watersports, Born on July 27th (7/27) 1944, and is regarded as the pioneer of the modern-day compression molded waterski, wakeboard, wakeskate and wakesurfer along with forever changing watersports footwear. As one of the main founders of Ronix, his spirit of endless innovation will live on forever. Foiling is so unique – requiring the finest design elements of hydro and aerodynamics. If you are only focused on lift and speed – you might be sacrificing stability or response so finding that crucial balance between the two is everything.

ED O’BRIEN | An Aerodynamic Visionary

Herb’s father, was also born on July 27th (7/27) 1910 and grew up in the Seattle area. Ed had a landmark run in the field of aeronautics. One of the key engineers for the B17, B47 airplanes, the Bomarc, Minuteman missiles and also worked on the 727 airplane too. He carried his methodical mind over to developing the blueprint for the most historic man made private R&D center – Radar Lake.

In tribute to these brilliant people in their respective fields, combining the best attributes of foiling (hydro and aerodynamics) - we proudly present the 727 series: A collection of products paying homage to two people that both lived with a never-ending mindset of product revolution. For us, going to market requires a different expectation and vision and with that comes a totally different timetable. 

Included
