UPING THE ANTE ON CONSISTENCY AND STABILITY
Rhythmic flow of a sequence of movements, a common theme in analyzing foils is getting great drive and lift but having a hard time controlling it. The board will skyrocket to the top, plunge to the bottom, or somewhere in between. This series of wings will ask you what floor on the elevator do you want to reach – and most importantly – keep you there. A nimble turn that will easily roll over to edge with its elliptical outline and additional width. It will quickly set you in the sweet spot, keep you on your specified flight pattern and do it with a quicker reacting edge hold. Offering a built in depth gauge - a white paint over the carbon fiber makes it easier to see how deep your foil set up is under the water.

4 LENGTHS IN 1 - FOILING GOT EVEN FUNNER AND EASIER
Finally, a setup that makes foiling fun and easy. Four varying mast heights to learn the progression of flight with. The first of its kind where the mast will adapt to your ability. For several decades people have experienced the feeling of flight. Hard to beat the sensation of levitating a couple feet from the water’s surface. The hurdle has always been that a taller mast is more exhilarating, but also infinitely harder to learn on. So, we changed that. We created and patented the world’s only telescoping adjustable mast. The 3 major aspects of foiling are learning to deep water start, turn, and interact with the wave - now you can have 1 mast that will progress through these stages. 4 options in 1 to take you through the entire evolution of this amazing sport. New for this year the mast has a 4th adjustment height and extends all the way to 26”.

A CO-PILOT WITH A CONSCIOUS
The voice of reason mounted on the back of your Link Fuselage is there to conduct your voyage as you navigate the seas. A low temperament design that helps steer the ship and bail you out of a jam when off axis. The perfect amount of grip for those new to foiling – yet still has enough speed to transfer on the second wave. A wider base, added rake, slightly thicker profile, turned up winglets and our signature autoclave construction. The Balance wing puts an emphasis on lift and grip. The two hardest aspects of learning how to foil are generating a consistent lift while you learn how to pump and maintaining stability as you learn how the nuances of turning. Phenomenal beginner stabilizer? Most definitely. But also preferred by high end riders that want a little extra lift and stability on the back of their sleek High Aspect front wing. A proven low temperament design.

SOLID CONSISTENT RHYTHM
The Link 3D is the intersection to the mast, front wing and rear stabilizer with perfection in every nuance. Each fuselage starts out as a high-grade alloy in the shape of a long brick and is then milled on a 3 axis CNC machine to the exact dimension for the perfect fit between the connection points. This streamlined conical design achieves the highest marks of anything we have ever tested in rigidity and water efficiency. A strong efficient link is in many ways the driving force to a smooth predictable foiling experience.
VERTICAL STABILIZER

FOILING WILL NEVER BE THE SAME - OR AS DIFFICULT
Several years ago we took a sport that was labeled hard and made it easy with the world’s only adjustable mast. Now we are doing it all over again - this time with the only vertical stabilizer. This new patent pending invention will conveniently slide on any Ronix fuselage to help control and maintain your flight pattern in a way never thought imaginable.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
We designed this stabilizer to aid the journey of flight and are including this with every complete foil set up that comes with a balance wing. The already dependable shift mast now has a running mate to all but guarantee a quick and easy learning experience. But then we realized once you have progressed from our hybrid carbon balance series doesn’t mean you are out of the foiling challenges. Short boards, tall masts, and big front wings are so much fun to ride – but bring about a new abrupt take off that can be hard to control even for riders with a lot of foiling experience. Once a rider feels they have that foundation – the stabilizer can easily slide off to bring out the full personality of our foil setups.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Ever flown on a plane without a vertical stabilizer - why should your journey into foiling be any different? This vertical stabilizer slows down your take off and locks in your turn. Now a rider will have more of a controlled pitch deepwater start and an easier to navigate rolling style turn vs. the more experienced yaw style arc. Once a rider feels they have that foundation – the stabilizer can easily slide off to bring out the full personality of our foil setups.
SUMMARY
A commitment to the new era in flight continues. Whether you are a new rider looking for every advantage to your journey – or an intermediate rider looking to step into an advanced series the vertical stabilizer is an easy add on that will greatly change your experience. The world’s only vertical stabilizer that will easily slide on any Ronix fuselage to help control and maintain your flight pattern in a way never thought imaginable. Short boards, tall masts, and big front wings are so much fun to ride – but bring about a new abrupt take off that can be hard to control even for riders with a lot of foiling experience. This stabilizer slows down that take off so a rider will have a much smoother transition start. Then, once you are riding, this stabilizer will act as a center fin locking in with every turn. Now a rider will have more of a controlled pitch and an easier to navigate locked in turn. Once a rider feels they have that foundation – the stabilizer can easily slide off to bring out the full personality of our foil set ups.
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.
727 TUFF TECH FOILBOARD
4'1" / 4'6"
THE DEBUT OF OUR V2 DESIGN BASED ON A TONE SETTING FLIGHT FOR A SMOOTH, STABLE, CENTERED NATURAL RIDING POSITION.
The foundation to a proper flight 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.

FOIL BOARDS 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.

ASSEMBLY
SHIFT / FLUID MAST / BALANCE WING
1 - ATTACHING SHIFT MAST
The Shift Mast is telescoping in height with 4 different options – 17", 20", 23", and 26". The first step will be to determine your ideal height to start off with. Aren't sure where to begin? We always recommend mastering your deepwater starts on the lowest 17" height and gradually going to the taller settings as you feel more comfortable with your riding. Place the smaller in diameter mast inside of the bigger in diameter mast. Then look for a white line on the smaller diameter mast that will show what height you are set for. Once that white line is flush with the bigger mast you will then see two set of holes that will align from both masts. Grab both adjustable mast side inserts and screws – make sure they are not attached together and place the side inserts through both sets of holes – then firmly attach with screws on the other side.
These two screws and inserts are labeled (F) on the illustration.
2 - MAST TOP PLATE TO MAST
Take two of the four screws in your hardware kit labeled mast top plate + Fuselage to mast screws and thread them through your mast top plate and into the Shift mast. There technically is no top vs. bottom on the mast – but most people apply the mast with the Ronix logo closest to the mast top plate. This way when it is in the water – it is easier to read.
These two screws are labeled (A) on the illustration.
3.A - MAST TOP PLATE TO BOARD (DETERMINING MAST POSITION)
Place your foil board upside down on a flat stable surface.
Grab your assembled mast / top plate from step 1 and look at which profile of the mast is thinner vs. which profile of the mast is thicker. The thinner profile edge of the mast is your trailing edge and should be pointing towards the tail of the board – vice versa on the thicker profile edge.
3.B - MAST TOP PLATE TO BOARD (ASSEMBLY)
Now locate all four of the pieces of hardware labeled foil board track screws and track inserts. Make sure each of the screws are threaded into the track inserts – but barely threaded at first until they are in the correct location. Now put two of the track inserts into the left track – one of them all the way up the track and the other one all the way down the track. Now repeat this with the right track with the additional two track inserts. With all four inserts located in all four corners of the track – set the mast top plate in the middle of the track. Be sure the trailing edge of the mast is the thinner profile end – and is pointing towards the tail of the board. Then individually slide each screw/track insert so that it fits snug into the cut-out area of all four corners of the mast top plate. Once all four inserts are all the way inside the cut outs – you can tighten each screw individually. If you aren't sure where to put the mast top plate in relation of the board – we always recommend putting it close to the tail of the board with a lower number on our measuring guide. This lower number will create more stability – and you can gradually adjust your mast further forward for more lift and other personality features.
These four screws are labeled (B) and the four track inserts are labeled (C) on the illustration.
4 - FUSELAGE TO MAST
Take your fuselage with the receiving hole in the middle and insert the end of the Shift Mast into it. Then take the other two of the four screws in your hardware kit labeled mast top plate + Fuselage to mast screws and thread them through your fuselage and into the Fluid Mast.
These two screws are labeled (A) on the illustration.
5.A - FUSELAGE TO REAR STABILIZER
Take both screws labeled rear stabilizer screws and thread those through the stabilizer and into the fuselage. Be sure and insert the screws into the countersunk hole of the stabilizer.
These two screws are labeled (D) on the illustration.
5.B - REAR STABILIZER & VERTICAL STABILIZER
If you would prefer more stability while foiling – you can easily loosen the two rear stabilizer screws labeled (D) and slide the vertical stabilizer in between the rear stabilizer and the fuselage. Once it is in the intended location – like the illustration you can tighten the hardware secure.
6 - FUSELAGE TO FRONT WING
Insert the fuselage into the receiving hole of the front wing. Then take all three screws labeled front wing screws and thread those through the front wing and into the fuselage. Do not apply the screws through the wing and into the fuselage if the holes are not lined up perfectly. If the screws are not lined up evenly – it's possible to cross thread your screws damaging both the screws and the fuselage.
On illustration (E) you will see one screw mounts from the top and two from the bottom.
