ElCapitano Wing Series is a new line of hydrofoils designed to redefine your riding experience, optimized for speed, glide, predictability, and effortless wingtip breaching. Drawing inspiration from the success of the mid aspect ratio Flight Attendant wings, ELCAPITANO wings integrate some of its most impactful design elements into a higher aspect ratio lineup. Crafted for both intermediate and advanced riders, the ElCapitano series embodies high performance and shredability. Whether you are shattering speed records on the 575, connecting more waves on the 995, or gliding effortlessly while downwinding on the 1395, ElCapitano wings are for you. Features: High performance shredability - Drawing inspiration from the success of the mid aspect ratio Flight Attendant wings, the ElCapitano wings integrate some of its most impactful design elements into a higher aspect ratio lineup. Crafted for both intermediate and advanced riders, the ElCapitano series embodies high performance and shredability. Exceptional lift-drag ratio - The outline shape and wing twist maximize lift in the center of the wing, gaining efficiency from its tapered lift distribution. This delivers an exceptional lift-to-drag ratio each wing size. These key features, coupled with the new section profile, also allow the wings to operate at a wide range of speeds and maintain a low stalling speed. Giving these higher aspect wings the best speed and glide for the surface area. No ventilation - Reduced wingtip loading allows the wingtips to cut through the water surface without ventilating the rest of the wing. As aggressive wing-out turns are an exhilarating part of any foiler’s progression and predictability in these critical turns is paramount, we focused strongly on key design features to ensure the best and smoothest wing-out turns. Many of these elements have been inspired by the Flight Attendant’s success and optimized into a higher aspect ratio design: Redesigned middle section - The new section is precision-designed to disperse pressure along both upper and lower surfaces of the wing, eliminating the concentration of suction pathways that can disrupt lift. Curved up wingtips - When a wingtip encounters the water surface, the angle at which they meet is critical to the likelihood/severity of ventilation. Curved up wingtips facilitate a steeper wing-surface angle upon contact with the water, significantly reducing the risk of ventilation – whether you’re pushing the limits or inadvertently breaching a wingtip. Smooth & predictable - Each characteristic has been carefully harmonized to create a high-performance wing that thrives on pushing boundaries while maintaining a smooth, predictable feel.
