Expert Velo / High Aspect Series

SUMMARY

THE MOST IN RISE FROM A FAST FOIL KIT 

Travel higher and faster with the most volume in our Speed Front Wing. After years and years in the making we are so proud to debut what we feel is a technological marvel in the world of high-end foiling. Autoclave manufacturing – spread toe carbon fiber with each layer wrapped at a varying degree of angle to increase the rigidity of the torsional properties and a design that lives up to the name Speed. This edition comes with our bigger front wing for a rider that wants the perfect blend of added momentum and lift in one ride. Smoother turns compared to the 1330 cm² version – but added power in your pumps and more natural rise in its pitch. As soon as we started riding this new Shadow Carbon series with a Mod 84 board, we instantly were able to ride as far back as 20 waves from the boat.

SPEED FRONT WING

1530cm²

Rapidity of motion, to be strong, to be lively. Unparalleled drive – this series was created for riders with a foiling background looking for top line speed and greater pumping efficiency. You will instantly notice the increased response and the output it provides. Not only can you pump easier with the Speed edition – each push generates significantly more energy. New for this year we are introducing a new phrase to our Speed Wing – low stall speed. Typically, fast wings are high maintenance and need a lot of attention – and once they don’t have it - they will fade out and the rider’s momentum is gone. We added a concave running through the bottom of the front wing – and this drastically helps keep momentum even at slower speeds or in flat water conditions. A striking hydrodynamic design created to amplify your path of 4th wave adventures. This smaller size will have more agility through a turn, added speed in a straight line - just not quite the natural lift of its bigger brother 1530cm version. 

SHADOW CARBON VELO MAST

29" 

Welcome to the building block of your high-end thrill from some groundbreaking technology. Countless suppliers, years of sourcing, and hundreds of prototypes (we miss you white lightning) led to this – the spirit of carbon working in a way we only dreamed imaginable. Unprecedented drive down the line, harnessed with a hard charging hairpin arc as you make hundreds of feet from your boat a levitating aquatic gymnasium. Fabricating a lightweight carbon mast is easy. Crafting an electrifying mindreading device that will predict your next and every move – that requires a persevering dedication to transcendent materials and processes. This was arguably the biggest undertaking in the history of Ronix. We needed a spread toe carbon fiber that would evenly disperse the energy in a way we haven’t ever experienced in a traditional carbon fiber, then we applied each laminate in its own unique degree of angle that will highlight your every move. This is where the name Shadow came about; as we started to ride our rotating clockwork of laminates, we noticed the mast was mimicking our movemevnts, not fighting our weight changes. How does this happen? Anti-twist – there is so much torsional strain happening while foiling, and your mast is constantly fighting with this stress. So, we created a truly anti-twist layup that will always put you in the driver’s seat of your motions. Last but not least, is Velo – short for velocity. You can now transfer to the 4th wave with the same ease as you could our aluminum mast on the second wave. A dedication to natural glide wrapped in this new 29” design.

HIGH ASPECT STABILIZER

135cm²

Within the inner world of prone surfing there has been recent rumblings of a new theory in stabilizer designs. The thought is to have a pronounced concave on the top of the stabilizer – this pocket makes for a faster overall design but more importantly it greatly improves the stall speed. Even if you aren’t in the power zone of the wave or in a powerfully executed stride of pumping, this new shape gives you that safety net to regain your composure to then gain momentum or added height. The result is the fastest wing we have ever designed – but more importantly a wing that will give you that extra time you need to keep flying back to your intended location. In addition to having more momentum than the balance version – this design will break free easier and generate a much tighter turning radius.

SHADOW CARBON LINK FUSELAGE

39cm

The Link is the intersection to the mast, front wing and rear stabilizer with perfection in every nuance. 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. This version is made with our premier form of manufacturing and materials with O2 infusion and Shadow Carbon.
