Ozone Apex V1 Wing Hydrofoil complete M/F 75/78cm
Performance/ freeride/ hydrofoil
Features:
The Apex V1 MA (medium aspect) performance range is designed primarily for Wing Foiling with endless potential for freeride cruising, jumping, pumping, carving the flats, riding waves or ripping as fast as you possibly can! These wings are also amazing for freeride/freerace Kite Foiling and excel in other foil disciplines such as surf, tow and wake.
The MA800 is suited for advanced lighter weight riders looking for a performance front wing for use in strong winds. The medium aspect ratio and medium tapered planform provide an ideal balance between lift, glide and agility. The optimised profile offers accessible low-end power (lift at low speeds) combined with an incredible top end range and control at high speeds. This design is ultra maneuverable for cranking tight turns in the flat through to large waves. At speed it has solid pumping performance to get you through
wind lulls or from one swell to another. The MA800 is also a fun freeride/freerace kite foil for strong winds. It has speed, performance, maneuverability and a massive range for intermediate to advanced riders.
The MA950 is suited for intermediate to advanced and lighter weight riders looking for a performance front wing for use in moderate to strong winds. The medium aspect ratio and medium tapered planform provide an ideal balance between lift, glide and agility. The optimised profile offers accessible low-end power (lift at low speeds) combined with an incredible top end range and control at high speeds. This design is ultra maneuverable for cranking tight turns in the flat through to large waves. At speed it has solid pumping performance to get you through wind lulls or from one swell to another.
The MA950 is also a fun freeride/freerace kite foil for moderate to strong winds. It has speed, performance, maneuverability and a massive range for intermediate to advanced riders.
The MA1100 is suited for intermediate to advanced riders looking for a performance front wing for use in moderate to strong winds. The medium aspect ratio and medium tapered planform provide an ideal balance between lift, glide and agility. The optimised profile offers accessible low-end power (lift at low speeds) combined with an incredible top end range and control at high speeds. This design is ultra maneuverable for cranking tight turns in the flat through to large waves. At speed it has solid pumping performance to get you through wind lulls or from one swell to another. The MA1100 is also a fun freeride/freerace kite foil for moderate winds. It has speed, performance, maneuverability and a
massive range for intermediate to advanced riders.
The MA1250 is the ultimate all-round front wing for most rider weights with an intermediate to advanced skill level. The medium aspect ratio and medium tapered planform provide an ideal balance between lift, glide and agility. The optimised profile offers accessible low-end power (lift at low speeds) combined with an incredible top end range and control at high speeds. This wing really does it all, ultra maneuverable for its size to crank tight turns in the flat through to wind chops or waves
The MA1500 is suited for all Wing Foil rider levels and is perfect for heavier-weight advanced riders. The medium aspect ratio and medium tapered planform provide an ideal balance between lift, glide, and agility. The well-proportioned surface area creates plenty of lift to get up on the foil in any breeze while offering a generous top-end range.
The MA1800 is designed as a light wind performance wing foiling and is well suited for entry-level riders making their first runs foiling in light to moderate winds. The medium aspect ratio, medium tapered planform and well-proportioned surface area provides ample lift and glide to get up on the foil in any breeze with a low stall speed. The MA1800 has a generous top end, remaining comfortable to ride with solid control even at higher speeds. Reliable pumping performance will get you through wind lulls or from one swell to another and back again for more.
Mast 75cm:
Our unique mast construction features a hybrid core using a combination of high-density foam polymer and wood - during our R&D process, we found this was the optimum combination for incredible shear strength to weight ratio. The lamination is comprised of a Quadraxial Carbon fiber matrix with high modulus epoxy resin creating superior rigidity in flex and in torsion. The tapered outline adds extra strength without compromising speed. A slotted baseplate design allows easy fitting to the board. Titanium Barrel Nuts embedded in the mast provide durability and maximum strength at the mast to fuselage connection.
Fuselage 78cm:
Constructed for maximum stiffness and strength from a full carbon monoblock. Our unique Beamed Tuttle Box design increases strength at the mast to fuselage connection. Titanium Barrel Nuts embedded in the fuselage provides durability and maximum strength at the front and rear wing connections.
Surface finish:
All carbon parts are finished with an ultra high-quality hydrophobic coating used in performance marine environments such as Americas Cup racing yachts. This unique coating provides UV protection to the carbon laminate and an optimum surface finish, laboratory test results show a 15% less drag coefficient compared to a high gloss surface.
Titanium Hardware:
All screws and barrel nuts are CNC machined from GR5 Titanium with a Torx head fitting, guaranteeing zero corrosion and ultimate strength. Each complete Apex V1 foil is supplied with a Torx Key.
Rear Wing Shims:
Rear Wing Shims are for experienced riders looking to adapt the speed, stability, and maneuverability to their personal preference. These fit between the Rear Wing and Fuselage to adjust the AOA (angle of attack) of the Rear Wing. The Apex V1 complete foil kit includes -0.5deg, -1deg, and -1.5deg shims.
The Apex V1 Rear Wing MA210 is factory set at the most stable configuration without a shim to provide incredible pitch and roll stability at slow to medium speeds, combined with enough front foot pressure to assist in learning maneuvers.
In general, the performance effects of using negative degree shims to reduce the AOA are:
Entry level to intermediate riders - if you feel too much front foot pressure, before fitting a shim to adjust the rear wing AOA, we recommend first adjusting the position of your foil on the board by moving the mast back towards the tail of the board. This will reduce front foot pressure without decreasing the stability of the foil.
Protective Covers:
The Apex V1 Wing foil kit comes complete with protective covers for the Mast/Fuselage, Front Wing and Rear Wing. Constructed with high quality materials, padded foam layers, and velcro closures. The Mast cover includes a pocket for storing the Torx tool, screws, and Rear Wing Shims.
