The S1 design achieves a near autopilot-like level of predictability thanks to a combination of leading and trailing edge sweep, chord length and foil section geometry. The result is an ultra easy platform for first time flyers to learn any foiling discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S1 foils fly at a remarkably low speed with a high degree of controllability so that riders can practise manoeuvres with less risk and a lower learning curve. When overpowered, the foil reduces breaching with a tendency to fly itself back down when approaching the surface. Because these foils handle speed and ventilation so well, riders can enjoy an exceptionally broad usable speed range in each size. Downturned wingtips provide an extra element of safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to the same tolerances as our other foils, the S1 range is constructed from carbon composites which provide an excellent strength to weight ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ultra easy platform for first time flyers to learn any foiling discipline.

Its modularity, broad performance range and exceptional build quality empowers riders of all levels to progress without limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModularity is core to the Alloy System design. It’s fully compatible with all our front foils and stabilisers so as riders’ style evolves, so can their setup. Building on the knowledge and technology that led to our industry-leading carbon Performance Mast, the AA mast shape and structure are optimised from top to bottom for an excellent balance of efficiency and strength. This approach to design and attention to detail is exemplified in the Alloy System’s specially machined mast top and SailGP-inspired bottom bracket that are crafted from aerospace-grade aluminium alloys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system is outfitted exclusively with premium titanium and surgical stainless hardware for a light and highly corrosion resistant setup that’s durable over time.
