The Carbon Plus construction features a full carbon sandwich construction on both the top and the bottom of the board. This technology utilizes a lightweight glass layer around the lightweight core, fusing the high-density foam layer on the top and bottom of the board. This is then finished with a full carbon layer, top and bottom. Our biaxial carbon fiber has been optimized to ensure the best combination of responsiveness, strength, and weight reduction.

The high apex combines the stability of a wider board with the ability to turn more aggressively as you would on a board 4 inches narrower. These work in conjunction with the hard release edge in the tail and a softer release in the nose for intuitive touchdowns and fast releases. This unique combination makes the Compact easier to use in lighter wind without sacrificing performance as you get up on the foil.

For pure wing performance, we kept the Compact as short as possible, with the wide nose keeping volume up front, and the rails parallel. This creates directional stability at low and high speeds, and spreads the volume more evenly between the nose and tail.

GORE auto vents provide a waterproof and breathable solution, thanks to their proprietary GORE Membrane. This breathable membrane has a microporous structure that allows air and gases to pass through freely, so pressures are equalized, and moisture diffused before problems arise.
