VALKYRIE - SUPERCONDUCTOR

EXPLOSIVE LONG HAUL SWEEPING PUMPS WITH LOCKED IN TIGHT TURNS – AND AN ELECTRIFYING CONSTRUCTION

Equally as energetic as its Blackbird sibling known for its high cadence vertical pump. The Valkyrie substitutes that upright rhythm with a melodic forward sweeping pump for riders that drive off of their front leg. The Valkyrie is best suited for riders that have longer strides that propels with more natural forward motion at a mellower cadence. This parabolic shape also locks in on powerful drawn out turns. High speed wide open quick radius turns you never thought possible all while holding a strong edge hold. A tapered profile packed with reactive materials for riders that prioritize big reactive strides in their pumping. Usually preferred by high end riders that naturally ride with more weight on their front foot. Made with a highpowered full carbon construction using a foam 6x denser than most traditional surf or foil cores. Electricity under your feet unlike anything you have ever ridden involving something rarely said in the world of foiling - dense PVC foam. With the Valkyrie we really wanted to put an emphasis on the reactivity of the construction. Most ocean surfboards, wake surfers are made with foam under 10 kg density. But a couple years ago we started experimenting with foil boards up to 6 times the density of most surfers. One of our riders said "this board feels like it's conducting its own energy" and the name Superconductor stuck. Our proprietary extra packed PVC foam mixed with a full carbon layup brings about energy we have never experienced in foiling. The result is response unlike anything we have ever tested. Created for a rider that puts an emphasis on controlled power. The series hits harder and reacts quicker than traditional wakefoil constructions. Enjoy the flight.

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
