High Aspect Performance Freeride
A highly efficient high aspect (AR 9.5 – 13.0) foil designed to offer intermediate to advanced riders the best combination of glide, range and high speed performance.
Small to medium 700-1600cm² sizes are focussed on balancing glide, speed and maneuverability, whilst the largest 1600-2050cm² “Pump” sizes are focussed on pump and glide.
From downwind to pump, flat to waves, wing to parawing, surf foil to windsurf foil, the Plasma is incredibly versatile with its lifty and ultra-efficient shape.

Description
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
- High aspect foil for pump, glide and efficiency.
- Developed for chasing the fastest ocean swells or pumping with infinite glide to deliver an extremely high-performance ride, without compromise.
- The small size Plasma foils are best suited for high performance wing/parawing, surf, and tow-foiling in everyday to powered conditions, focussing on maximum maneuverability and control at top speeds, while still offering generous glide for their size. The mid-large sizes are ideal for wing/parawing and downwinding in lower energy conditions, focussing on blending maneuverability with lift and glide. The largest 1600-2050cm² “Pump” sizes are best suited for pump foiling, paddle ups and dock starts, focussing specifically on maximum lift and glide.
- All Plasma foils can also be used for a crossover into windsurf foiling.
Key Features
NEW HIGH ASPECT DESIGN
High-aspect platform optimised for pump, glide and speed. The Plasma combines a high-aspect platform with a thinner, highly refined profile to reduce drag and maximise efficiency through the speed range. Developed for chasing the fastest ocean swells or pumping with infinite glide, it delivers an extremely high-performance ride without compromise.
NEW UCS CONNECTION
The Universal Connection System (UCS) delivers up to 3x the torsional stiffness of previous drop-through style connection systems. Double rows of side-by-side mast-fuse screws distribute loads both laterally and longitudinally, creating maximum stability, while the supported mast-fuse saddle preserves the fuselages full structural integrity by eliminating the material cut-outs required by traditional drop-through systems. A unique sleeve-saddle fuse-wing connection provides further stability and support for the stiffest overall connection between mast, fuselage and front/tail wings.
NEW SIZE-SPECIFIC TUNING
The Plasma range is tuned around high-efficiency, high aspect performance, with two distinct design approaches across the size range. The smaller sizes use a high-aspect platform with a more swept-back leading edge, straighter trailing edge and thinner profile, prioritising speed and maneuverability. The larger sizes feature a straighter trailing edge, forward-swept trailing edge and under-cambered profile, prioritising lift and glide, with the regular 1600 using a lower 9.5 aspect ratio to keep the wingspan manageable for more maneuverability and a crossover between ultra-light wind downwinding and wing foiling, while the largest 1600 and 2050 “Pump” Plasma’s use a ultra-high-aspect glide-optimised design specifically for maximum pumping efficiency, paddle-ups and dock starts.
NEW WASTE2WEAR DUAL-HANG FOIL COVER
Made from durable Waste2Wear recycled fabric, the protective foil cover keeps your foil protected during storage and transport. Dual hanging hooks at both the wingtip and centre allow the cover to be hung in either orientation – from the tip as wing only when disassembled, or from the centre when assembled to hang as complete glider, making garage storage and transportation simple and convenient.
*Included with front/tail wing.
