Top of the line high aspect wingfoil kit. The FS series is the newest step up in innovation by industry-leading Cloud IX. Here’s their take on the new lineup:
“Here at Cloud9 when we say “We are coming out with something NEW,” what we really meant to say is that we are coming out with something fresh, innovative and again unique to the industry. We focused our attention on the aggressive carving characteristics of the F Series like our F28 for example. We wanted to combine its forward swept trailing edge design which allowed it to be highly responsive with the speed, pump and glide of the latest generation of high aspect wings that are out on the market today. Our new FS (Forward Swept) High Aspect foils offer just that a perfect blend of performance and speed.”
FS550
Aspect Ratio: 8.5
Projected Area: 550cm2 / 85.2sq.in.
Wing Span: 68.5cm / 27”
The launch of our latest rocket ship the FS550 is unlike anything else out there. Everyone who’s tried it can’t believe a wing this small can offer so much. The speed, control and maneuverability remain unmatched. It’s the closest thing we have ever experienced to surfing, allowing you to carve as hard and as powerful as you want with control and confidence. It truly is the next level in high performance foil surfing. The speed and glide we experienced while surfing or winging on the 550 has completely blown our minds. This is definitely our go to foil when the surf or wind is up, for its size it surprisingly super efficient and gets up on foil really easy. The conditions just need to be decent.
FS700
Aspect Ratio: 8.6
Projected Area: 700cm2 / 108.5sq.in.
Wing Span: 77cm / 30.5”
The FS700 is highly efficient for a wing of this size, the speed, control and maneuverability is second to none. Our goal was to design a high performance, surf machine that would allow you to seamlessly carve from rail to rail, yet be predictable and forgiving enough to ride at speed. The 30.5” wing span, aspect ratio, and forward swept design all help contribute to making this possible.
FS850
Aspect Ratio: 8.7
Projected Area: 850cm2 / 131.75sq.in.
Wing Span: 86cm / 34”
When designing the FS850 the goal was to create our F28 on Crack! We still wanted it to rip hard in the surf but really wanted it to be faster, a lot faster. Not only did we achieve this goal but we ended up with a whole lot more bang for our buck. The FS850 has performed beyond our expectations. Here are some of those key features:
•Positive front foot pressure on the board gives you better feedback and control from the foil when pressing and carving through the turns.
•Tons of lift which makes getting up on foil super easy for a wing of this size. Perfect for getting up on downwinders and winging.
•Handles the speed very well and has incredible low-end, it stays up at slower speeds without dropping off foil.
•It easily recovers from breaches and ventilation is almost none existent as it sheds the air bubbles off at lightning speed.
•Ripping the tips out has become something fun and easy to do as the wing seamlessly maintains control throughout the turn.
FS1000
Aspect Ratio: 8.5
Projected Area: 1000cm2 / 155sq.in.
Wing Span: 92cm / 36.3”
The FS1000 is a super fun and forgiving wing to ride whether SUP, prone, downwind or winging. It has tons of glide and gets up on foil with ease. Unlike a lot of other high aspect wings on the market today our new FS Series have amazing range and offer incredible low end. This wing really excels in small surf, connecting bumps and light wind yet still handles the speed when the conditions ramp up.
FS1150
Aspect Ratio: 8.5
Projected Area: 1150cm2 / 178sq.in.
Wing Span: 99cm / 39”
The FS1150 is the largest foil in our series. If you’re looking to pump and glide with minimal effort, go long distances, then this is the wing for you. With a wing span of 39” this foil is still very forgiving, stable and easy to ride.
Carbon Masts
Cloud IX’s new high modules carbon fiber masts are now stronger, lighter and stiffer. They rate right up there as one of the best carbon fiber masts in the market today. They are available in three different sizes 26” 30” and 34” to cover all of your foiling needs. Our new carbon fiber construction creates a more direct connection to the board and foil making it highly responsive and predictable.
Mast 66cm / 26”
This is the shortest mast in our line up. It’s best used for prone, wake, or shallow water conditions.
The shorter length increases the turning radius for tighter more aggressive turns. The drawback is it also increases your odds of breaching due to the smaller margin for error. Recommend for more advanced riders.
Mast 76cm / 30”
The 30” mast is our most popular length and the industry standard. It’s highly responsive and versatile making it ideal for prone, SUP, wake, downwinders, and winging.
Mast 86cm / 34”
The 34” is the longest mast in our collection. It’s a must have for towing, kiting, or winging in super rough conditions. The extra length allows for increased comfort on the water and gives the rider more room for error by reducing the chances of breaching. Recommend for any type of foiling at high speed.
