Its raised front foot deck angle provides a more playful and responsive feeling while up on the foil, enhancing your overall riding experience through maneuvers and when surfing swell. The higher nose rocker helps prevent catching on the water and ensures smooth acceleration.Cut-outs in the tail facilitate an early release from the water, while the beveled rails make takeoffs easier and offer more clearance through turns. This board excels in performance when set up for strapless riding but also has the option of using foot straps for those seeking more control during maneuvers and high-speed runs.Experience the perfect combination of performance and efficiency with the Skybrid SLS our freeride hybrid between Downwinder and classic Wing Foiling shapes.MID LENGTH DESIGNThe Skybrid SLS features a mid-length design that bridges the gap between our Downwinder and Sky Wing board range, offering the best of both worlds for a versatile performance.HIGHLY EFFICIENT TAKE-OFFThe Skybrid SLS boasts a highly efficient take-off due to its narrower and longer outline, allowing for earlier lift even on smaller foils.GLIDE EFFICIENCYPerforINTRODUCING THE SKYBRID SLSInterview with our Maui Design Team Finn & Jeffrey Spencer about the new Skybrid SLSWe have just introduced the Skybrid SLS, a high-performance addition to our Wing & Foiling board lineup. This mid-length board bridges the gap between our Downwinder range and traditional Wing Foil boards. Its longer, narrower outline with a wider nose and tail offers unmatched efficiency and exceptional stability, setting a new standard in Wing Foiling.Join us for an exclusive interview with our board designers Finn and Jeffrey Spencer as they unveil the innovations behind the new Skybrid SLS mid-length board. Lets delve into the unique design elements that make the Skybrid SLS a standout. Dont miss this deep dive into the craftsmanship and vision that brought this board to life!Can you tell us about the inspiration behind the Skybrid SLS?Finn: The idea for the Skybrid SLS comes from the desire to create a versatile Wing Foil board that bridges the gap between our dedicated Downwinder range and traditional compact Wing Foil board shapes. We wanted to design a board that offers the best of both worlds efficiency and stability to cater to a wide range of riding styles and conditions.What makes the Skybrid SLS unique compared to other Wing Foil boards?Jeffrey:The Skybrid SLS stands out due to its mid-length design, featuring a longer and narrower outline while maintaining a wider nose and tail. This combination results in incredible efficiency and exceptional stability. Constructed with our premium SLS technology, the board also includes longer carbon foil tracks, ensuring minimum weight and increased adjustability.How does the design of the Skybrid SLS enhance performance for intermediate to advanced riders?Finn:We have focused on creating a board that allows for the earliest flight in light winds and easy take-off also with smaller, more efficient foils. The single concave to flat bottom shape aids in early planning and take-offs, while the raised front foot deck angle provides a playful and responsive feeling on the foil. The higher nose rocker helps prevent water catching and ensures smooth acceleration, making it ideal for intermediate to advanced riders.Can you explain the benefits of the cut-outs in the tail and the beveled rails?Jeffrey: The cut-outs in the tail are mainly for an early release of the water, which is crucial for quick take-offs. You benefit from the stability of the wider overall area in the tail when starting and floating around but have this effective planning area reduced once you gain forward momentum, reducing drag and enabling you to push
