There is no other board which will help you to experience the gliding/planing sensation in such a short time than the EAGLE.

EAGLE or BLAST - which one is the right freeride board for you?

Where you come from >< Where it will take you

1) EAGLE: IT’S ALL ABOUT PLANING

  • Where you come from: you had your first Windsurfing experience and are capable of staying upwind. There is no other board which will help you to experience the gliding/planing sensation in such a short time than the EAGLE. 
  • Where it will take you: besides getting planing, jibing is the second strength of the EAGLE. But it’s not just made for learning to (power)jibe but will even accompany you up to freerace blasting and laydown jibing 

2) BLAST: MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE WITH MINIMUM EFFORT

  • Where you come from: you are comfortable of sailing in the foot straps then the BLAST is your performance machine. 
  • Where it will take you: the BLAST will instantly make you a faster sailor. Since it’s also very easy to jibe it will be your partner from your first power jibes up to pro level laydown race jibes. Partnered with a high performance fin and a freerace sail you might even become the fastest guy at your spot with the BLAST, whilst still maintaining the comfort of a freeride board.


The EAGLE was designed with the following objectives:

> Super early (passive) planing

> Automatic/instinctive jibing

> Maximum wind range and control even in choppy conditions 

This makes the EAGLE the perfect intermediate to advanced board which will accompany you from your first planing attempts all the way through to blasting and laydown jibing. 


To achieve these characteristics the team around Dani Aeberli (Product Manager Boards) have developed the VOLUME YET CONTROL CONCEPT:

  • The slightly longer and therefore less curved outline allows us to increase the volume by up to 30 litres compared to short-curved boards (e.g. Fanatic Gecko or Tabou Rocket) without any loss of control. 
  • The extra volume though results in a much more confident, predictable and relaxed riding position especially in underpowered or sub-planing conditions. 

>> This leads to an unbeatable, broad range of use.

The slightly longer and therefore less curved outline also offers 2 additional important advantages:

1) It prevents the board from turning unnecessarily into the wind which lets the Eagle get onto a plane almost automatically

2) It prevents the board from bouncing around even in rough chop which becomes an issue with wide-curved boards 


The manoeuvre-oriented rail shape allows for an effortlessness and predictable jibing behaviour as the thin rails require less pressure to initiate the turn. This is ideal for jibing novices or to increase your lay-down jibing success rate. 

Yet even for an advanced sailor the EAGLE is anything but a boring board to sail. It almost feels like a longer version of the BLAST since it shares a very similar scoop-rocker line.

EPOXY SANDWICH TECHNOLOGY

Durable budget friendly sandwich construction for everyday use. Our exclusive superlight EPS core gets covered with a 70% wood sandwich. Additional glass reinforcement patches around the critical impact zones ensure structural integrity. A thick, durable outer skin gives the hull maximum strength, as well as making it ding and impact resistant. 

Deck Shape

Flatter deck shape for comfortable stance and maximum control during jibes.

Outline

Slightly longer and therefore less curved outline avoids the board from bouncing around in choppy conditions and improves passive planing. This also allows to increase the volume which results in a much more confident, predictable and relaxed riding position.

Rail Shape

Medium rail diameter in the nose and center offer an ideal blend of performance and manoeuvrability. Thinned out ergonomic rails towards the tail for increased jibing success rate.

Duotone Premium Strap 2.0 incl. multi-plugs

High quality closed cell neoprene for maximum longevity. Only black Lycra coating guarantees maximum comfort as well as maximum durability. The strap features measurement markings to allow you to quickly set up and replicate your individual size.

DUO RIDING STYLE PLUGS:

  • Inboard position for improved manoeuvrability and a more relaxed riding style
  • Outboard position for a more performance oriented riding style


Duotone Pro Pads

8-10mm thick duo density EVA (depending on the board type) provides best dampening comfort and control. The heat pressed diamond grooving pattern protects the EVA against abrasion and provides an extraordinary grip level. We only select EVA colours which don't look dirty after use and will also resist fading after hours in the sun.

Rocker Line

Longer flat between the straps for better passive planing, more stability and easier jibing + tacking.

Bottom Shape

Progressive double concave V front to back: ideal compromise between performance, manoeuvrability and control + comfort even in rough chop.
