The Capacitor is Omen's first board 100% dedicated to increasing your FoilDrive wave count and improving the ride experience. Starting from the already highly optimized Emissary hull design, we added a trench compatible with both the Max and Fusion systems as well as swapped out the carbon layup on the nose area for black s-glass to ensure flawless signal transmission for those who want to ride a low board volume to body weight ratio. Expect to be able to size down at least 10L from other boards without reducing battery life due to the Capacitor's extremely efficient semi-displacement design. Once up on foil, you'll notice the board's supernatural ability to recover from touchdowns at all angles along with the sensitive and overall refined feel. For positioning the trench we worked with Beta testers to ensure there was enough room in the front for those who like to run their system far forward, without completely overdoing it with a super long trench. Going too large on the trench adds drag during touch downs and take off as well as reduces board volume that would otherwise be proving "free" buoyancy and drive to the surface during take offs. We believe the Capacitor's trench location strikes the right aid balance between placement compatibility and performance. For the same reasons we opted not to do a "super trench" and instead focus on making boards with the highest possible on water performance. While we understand the extra time to swap batteries is a downside of this decision, those who have ridden the Capacitor have all agreed that it's worth it!For riders looking for an all-around wing or parawing board that can also be used for Foil Drive, both our Emissary and Flux models perform very well provided the board's volume is at least 50% of the rider's weight kilograms. This allows for enough surface area of the board to to be above the waterline that the signal can find a path through the skin. For example, a rider who weighs 90kgs geared up should choose a board larger than 45L in our traditional construction or elect to use a trench board (of any size) for the ultimate in FoilDrive performance.
