If you push your surfing (prone, SUP, wing or wake) to the limit, this will blow you away. Do you want to push harder, make tighter turns and have an even more intense surfing experience? Then our new Black ADVANCE+ hull configuration is just the thing for you. In this design, the mast position has been moved 40 mm closer to the front foil, opening up completely new possibilities for surfing performance. Our current Black hull range is perfect for most riders in all disciplines, while the new Black ADVANCE+ hulls are not intended to replace them, but offer options for more performance and a better feel when pushing the limits. If you are an intermediate or experienced surf/wave rider, this could be a great upgrade for you.
One consideration when moving the mast forward is that the effective length of the rear hull to the rear stabilisation profile increases by the distance of the mast forward. For this reason, we are introducing a new hull size, the 'Sillyshort'. When choosing your Advance Black Fuselage you should take this into account and perhaps opt for a shorter length than you are used to. If you currently use an Ultrashort, you might consider the Crazyshort instead. Available in Short, Ultrashort, Crazyshort and Sillyshort (560mm only). Compatible with ART and HPS wings, but also suitable for the smaller sizes of our PNG and BSC wings. Compared to our current Black fuselage range, these 4 new little siblings offer a looser, faster transition from side to side. The feeling our testers had is similar to the feeling you get when you push the fins forward on a surfboard: initiating turns becomes easier, which is great in the surf. However, there is a small trade-off: the ease of turning comes at the expense of tracking and speed stability. (So expect to have a small effect on upwind ability when winging and to have to adjust your pumping technique slightly. If you're into ultra-fast big wave riding, consider the regular black hulls instead).
If the mast is fitted further forward on the hull, the base plate in the boxes will need to be positioned further forward to position the wings in the same position as the regular black hull.
In an effort to reduce cardboard packaging, the new Black ADVANCE+ hulls are supplied with our new customised hull protection sleeves and without paper/cardboard packaging.
