Description

AK Compact Wingboard 2022

Maneuver oriented shape with a parallel outline.
Wide top rails with a high apex rail for stability.
Narrow bottom for high-speed turning.

The Compact has been fully optimized for wingboarding, with its highly concentrated volume, and low swing weight. Perfect for intermediate to advanced wing riders in lighter conditions, the stable platform and centralized volume create a board that is easy to throw around when jumping and doing progressive maneuvers. The high apex rail maintains the feel of a narrow board, with stability provided by the additional width when not planing.

Features

Carbon Innegra Construction

Full carbon innegra top deck.
Wood sandwich standing areas.
Heavy-duty foil connection.

Covering an ultra-lightweight fused EPS core, the Reflex Carbon Innegra shell provides exceptional flex and response. Innegra, an inherently lightweight and impact-resistant material, dissipates and absorbs a tremendous amount of energy, greatly reducing vibrations. The heavy-duty foil connection features a high-density load plate, which carries the load of the foil and connects it to the top deck for a direct connection between the foil and the rider.

Kick Tail

The bottom kick tail allows the rider to tilt the board upwards, assisting to force the nose to lift and release from the water. It also reduces the tail touching the water when pumping and turning.

Bottom Shape

The rounded nose and softer rails help prevent the nose from sticking on touch downs, instead recovering without losing too much speed. The mid-section runs into a single concave for maximum planing speed and works in conjunction with the hard rails in the tail area for a quick water release during partial touchdowns.

Concave Deck

The concave deck lowers the riders center of gravity on the board and places the buoyancy higher on the rails, creating a more stable sub-planing platform. It also makes you feel more connected to the foil, improving the stability and response when pumping and turning.

High Apex Rail

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.

Thick Profile

Packing a surprising amount of float into such a short length reduces the swing weight, keeping the board easy to pump and turn. The volume is optimized for stability and works with the high apex rail to keep the board as nimble as possible.

Wide Nose

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.

Compact Strap & Insert Positions

The Compact Wingboards feature reinforced footstrap inserts with a number of forwards or backwards positions, with a 2.5cm (1") spacing. This enables the rider to be further forwards or backwards on the board, relative to their preferred stance width and foil position.

The rear strap is mounted over the center line of the board, while the front strap has the option of being mounted over the center line of the board, or with a double or single strap at a 45-degree angle. This insert pattern allows for left or right foot forward riding off to one side of the deck or a single strap angled slightly over the center line.

The US Box foil mount on the bottom deck allows for quick and easy assembly and micro trim adjustment. These inserts are compatible with any standard 9 x 16.5cm foil plate system and are connected through to the deck of the board with high density inserts.

Recommended Footstrap Screws: M6 self-tapping screws, 22 – 28mm long, depending on the thickness of your straps. Note: Footstraps sold separately.
