Patrik Chase DW-X Downwind Foil Board

Patrik hat mit dem Chase DW-X ein eigenes Downwind Foil Board entwickelt

Downwind Foiling ist gerade ein Trend. Patrik Diethelm hat deshalb mit Thomas Goyard ein eigenes Konzept entwickelt. Herausgekommen ist das Downwind Foil Board Chase DW-X. Das Patrik Chase DW-X Downwind Foil Board gibt es in 7, geplant 8, Größen, von 77 - 144 Liter.

Herstellerbeschreibung

Das von Thomas Goyard (Foil-Spezialist, Designer und Olympia-Silbermedaillengewinner im Windsurfen) und Mastermind Patrik Diethelm entwickelte DW-X-Konzept lag Thomas schon lange am Herzen. Diese Shapes spiegeln seine umfassende Erfahrung und sein Wissen sowie seine unendliche Leidenschaft und Liebe für Downwinding und Foil-Riding wider.

Nach umfangreichen Tests und Prototypen ist die Serie endlich da. Diese Boards haben alles erlebt: Flachwasser, Dünung, Wellen, Kabbelwasser und Windgeschwindigkeiten von 10 bis 40 Knoten. Ziel war es, möglichst viele Testergebnisse zu sammeln und diese in den ultimativen Allround-Freeride-Shape umzusetzen. Die Patrik Chase DW-X Downwind Foil Board Serie ist für Fahrer gemacht, die sich mit ihrem Board eins fühlen möchten. Wenn Sie ein reaktionsschnelles, starkes und langlebiges Board unter Ihren Füßen suchen, ohne Ihr Bankkonto zu sprengen – bestellen Sie Ihr Patrik Chase DW-X Downwind Foil Board jetzt!

Das Design des Patrik Chase DW-X Downwind Foil Board

We are currently seeing three trends for DW boards worldwide:

• Racing DW boards, from 8’2 to 9’6 feet, generally quite narrow
• Freeride/Crossover DW boards from 7’4 to 8’2, from 19 to 23 inches in width
• the biggest sizes of mid lenght wing boards, from 90 L and above

Our DW-X boards are Downwind Crossover SUP foil boards.

They are designed to propose the best compromise between carving, efficiency at take-off, pumping and speed.

Thanks to the front straps inserts from 77 to 111 l, you can also enjoy wingfoiling and downwind winging with the Vee front straps.

We decided to skip the back strap inserts to allow you to place your backfoot freely on the deck when pumping in free-fly which provides better comfort and accuracy in pitch.

TAKE OFF

Any downwinders dream is to take off with minimum effort. Being comfortable cruising, daring new runs, falling and taking off again will revolutionise your personal DW experience. The main priority for this new generation of downwind boards was to create shapes that allow you to take off in any situation, whether it’s flat, choppy, with swell or cross wind - So you can enjoy your runs without stress and discomfort and just enjoy the moment.

REDUCED PLANING SURFACE

Reduced hull surface with sharp mini bevels enhance the acceleration. This innovative design offers a great hull stability while balancing plus an effortless planing during take off. Direction changes during take offs on a wave feel intuitive on this shape.

SMART WIDTH

Wide enough to be comfortable in rough seas or if you are a DW beginner. For the more advanced rider, the specific hull design and shape features of this board will still provide ultra low drag to take off on small and fast foils. Being stable on the board allows you to paddle extremely hard and powerful even when small roll mistakes happen accidentially.

CUTOUT KICK TAIL

Kick tail to optimise the tail water release while pumping hard on the take off as a catching tail would slow you down and push the board nose downwards. The 90 degree mini tail cutout makes the water rip off the hull surface and reduces the drag of the board futher.

RAKED DECK RECESS

Deck recess with a unique progressive rake provides an optimised angle for take off which varies once you reposition your feet from take off stance to riding and carving.

DECK FOOT LOCK

Thanks to the deck recess shape your front foot will be locked just behind the front bump making it impossible to slip foward. As a consequence, you can transfer your energy to the board and foil with more efficiency.

VEE-DECK TAIL SHAPE

The board can breach the water surface better when you push the tail into the water during extreme paddling and pumping. As the water flows off easily you don't lose energy by your tail getting "stuck" in the water.

BOTTOM MINI CHANNELS

One of the issues you face as a beginner is positioning your board in the correct angle while paddling max power during take off. The mini channels improve the board tracking in the early take off phase significantly without locking the board in too much before you start the flight.

FOIL TRACKS RECESS

Significant reduction of drag during take off when your mast is being positioned to the front of the foil tracks as it make the water "jump" and flow over the base plate of your mast. Much softer touch downs with reduced drag. The board will slow down less helping you to keep your balance when your board hits the water surface in sharp turns, on bigger waves or simply when things get a bit hectic at high speeds.

PROGRESSIVE ROCKER LINES

Tense rocker line with the perfect balance of accelleration and carving. More rocker on the small sizes for more advanced riders and extreme conditions. A more relaxed rocker on the big sizes for even earlier flight.
