Lift Foils 110 Florence  X Front Foil 2024

 Welcoming John and Nathan Florence to our family marks a significant milestone in our journey.

The collaboration represents a shared vision to expand the sport of foiling into modern surf culture. We invite everyone to join us in navigating the unexplored and redefining the limits of the surfing realm.

Florence 21 X

The Florence 21 X mixes traits from the 25Glide, 20Carve, and 21Flow all in the name of making an ultra high- performance downwind tail. The result is a tail that Nathan describes as “being covered in dish soap, the glide is psycho”. The medium length fuselage provides just enough stability, while the low angle of incidence provides limitless glide to connect bumps.

Florence 21 X

PRODUCT COMPARISONS

Vs. 20 Carve

The Florence 21 X has a longer fuselage and lower angle of incidence. Result = More glide and stability at the sacrifice of more drawn out turns.

Vs. 25 Glide

The Florence 21 X has a similar length fuselage but higher angle of incidence and smaller surface area wing. Result = More front foot pressure and similar glide.

Vs. 21 Flow

The Florence 21 X has a shorter fuselage and lower angle of incidence. Result = More glide and tighter turns at the sacrifice of stability.

Lift Flow Series Back Wings 

Easy and Efficient

At Lift, we’ve fallen in love with the efficiency of smaller back wings. With that in mind, we wanted to get a larger audience to experience the efficiency of a small back wing while maintaining the stability they’re used to having with a larger back wing.

We achieved this by increasing the fuselage length and reducing the back wing surface area. The Flow Series back wings are designed to be ridden smaller than your typical Surf/Glide/Carve Series back wings.

Flow Series Characteristics

  • User-friendly

  • High efficiency

  • Excellent stability

  • Long, drawn-out carves

  • Slower pumping cadence

21 Flow 

Experience the perfect fusion of efficiency and stability with the 21 Flow Back Wing. Designed for advanced riders seeking the advantages of an ultra small tail wing without sacrificing pitch stability. The small surface area provides unlimited glide, while the longer fuselage gives a steady sense of control while cruising through any maneuver.

Surface Area – 21 in2 (135 cm2)

Fuselage Length – 12” (30.5 cm) 

Weight – 0.6 lbs. (272 g)

Flow 26

The 26 Flow is our medium-sized back wing in the Flow series. Slippery yet stable, the 26 Flow features a small surface area back wing for efficiency and pairs it with a long fuselage for stability. The result is an unmatched equilibrium between efficiency and stability. The 26 Flow is the perfect back wing for intermediate riders looking to elevate their level or advanced riders seeking a tail whose ease of use allows for increased confidence in any maneuver.

SPECS:

  • Surface Area: 26 in2 (168 cm²)
  • Fuselage Length 12” (30.5 cm)
  • Weight 0.6 lbs. (272 g)

31 Flow 

The 31 Flow Back Wing is medium sized in surface area, it but provides plenty of pitch stability for beginner and intermediate riders. The smaller size of the tail wing reduces drag, while the longer fuselage provides maximum stability.

Whether you’re honing your skills in prone foiling take-offs or perfecting your jibes in kiting or winging, the 31 Flow stands as your ultimate wingman on the journey.

Surface Area – 31 in2 (200 cm2)

Fuselage  – 12” (30.5 cm)

Weight – 0.6 lbs. (272 g)

Dart 120 – Stabilizer

Super maneuverability with minimal drag for max performance.
The Dart 120 is our most reactive, maneuverable, and low-drag stabilizer. Its concept was drawn up to take the Dart 140 a step further: quicker, looser, and faster to achieve the most radical surf foiling potential. The resulting Dart 120 design is effectively a Dart 140 with a decreased area, lowered aspect ratio, and shortened span. And yes, while the Dart 120 is made to rip in the surf, it also excels for advanced wingers and even downwind foilers with a sensitive touch looking to loosen their setups to the max.
Area: 120cm2
Span: 300mm
Aspect Ratio: 7.3

Dart 140 – Lightning fast response with top end speed.

The Dart 140 is our smallest stabiliser and offers all the performance characteristics you’d expect from such a small surface area. Lightning fast response with minimal drag for high speeds, this is the tail of choice for advanced to expert wing, surf, tow and kite foilers in powered conditions.

Surf 205 – Fast and responsive to unleash your inner shredder.

The 205 Surf is a highly manoeuvrable stabiliser that enables tight and critical turns in the pocket. This design is derived from the low aspect HS212 (chopped HS232) which dedicated surf foilers found to be the ticket for foil surfing. The 205 builds on that with refinements to the foil section, planform and thickness to unlock the most freedom on the wave.

  • Derived from the HS212 (chopped 232)
  • Developed in conjunction with the new MA foil range
  • New section and thinner profile with more camber
  • Lower aspect for surfing in the pocket
  • Consistent pitch stability

Zippy Acceleration

The foil section is thin but with pronounced camber, decreasing drag while also improving lift, forward projection and acceleration. 

Consistent Pitch

Linear pitch characteristics throughout the full speed range even out front and back foot pressure, minimising lift spikes during acceleration and deceleration on the wave.

Broader Speed Range

A high camber section delivers the perfect blend of lift at low speeds to make getting onto foil easy, yet retains excellent controllability at high speeds.

Specifications:

Area: 205cm2
Span: 344mm

Carve Tail WIngs

Were proud to announce our new Carve tail wings.  The Carve wings backs are smaller & shorter stabilizers designed specifically for surfing.  With shorter fuselages than Lifts Glide and Surf tails, the Carves allows riders to make tighter radius turns—much like a shorter chassis on a vehicle allows for a tighter turning radius. 

 

The Carves also have an increased angle pitched down which adds slightly more drag than the Glide wings, but more front foot pressure and positive lift off for the front wing. This feel gives more liveliness to the ride in smaller surf and a reliable feel on the front foot when speeding up and pushing through a turn. 

 

Overall, if youre looking for high performance back wings that drive through a tight turn, the Carve series is it. The Carves come in two sizes, the 26 and 33. Smaller = more sporty. Larger = more stability with the cost of added drag. 

 

 

Back Wing – 20 Carve

 

The 20 Carve is the smallest back wing in our fleet, which makes surfing feel extremely lively. If you want to slash some aggressive turns and you like the tail feeling extremely light with low drag, this is it.

 

Back Wing – 26 Carve

 

Lift Foils Carve series tail wings are high performance wings, but specifically for surfing and driving through tight turns. 

 

The 26 Carve is the sportiest carve wing, ideal for experienced surf foil riders.

 

 

Back Wing – 33 Carve

 

Lift Foils Carve series tail wings are high performance wings, but specifically for surfing and driving through tight turns. 

 

The 33 Carve is our more stable carve wing, for reliable tight turns and mobility—but with added drag versus our 26 Carve.
