Designed to foil at high speeds with full control no matter the conditions, these foils will lead to incredible performances, but their “raisons d’être” are first and foremost to provide the most exhilarating ride on the water.

Such a high level of performance is only possible by using a Full Monobloc construction where the entire plane (front wing, fuselage, stabilizer) is molded together in a single piece made of pre-preg carbon. This consequently reduces the hydrodynamic drag and results in a stiff and solid foil. The newly added High Modulus Carbon fiber layup leads to even more rigidity and dependability that will drive you to incredible feats in each of your session.

In light or strong winds and whether kite foiling or wing foiling, the ESCAPE HM CARBON is a playful, nimble, and enjoyable hydrofoil that delivers an amazing glide with a terrific speed potential and utmost control. The pro wing foilers will also appreciate its quality and sophistication as they push the limits of this discipline.
