OVERVIEW
A.I.O. = All in One
Thisis exactlywhat PATRIK stands for and we couldn't be prouder that they are praised in Germany as the "Tesla of wingboards"!
As a shaper and designer, Patrik can leave nothing to chance and riding everything he designs and feeling what will really used is his forte.
Even with the smallest board size 4'6" with only 35 liters, Patrik has proven his endurance on the water and has pushed his limits. These boards can be used for all kinds of foil sports from surfing to tow-in, wake, SUP, wing and in the two windsurf versions also windsurfing. An innovative, two-stage side shape gives the board unique stability and maneuverability. We have decided to really give you all the options with our A.I.O. range, which is why all boards have both the foil deep turtle fin box options and the US plate system.
BUILD TO LAST:
The fullCarbon sandwich PVC construction makes these boards really stiff and consecutively very powerful. On the A.I.O. you will feel your foil like never before.
The A.I.O. is the perfect foil toy for all passionate water sports enthusiasts out there!

- 4'6" / 5'0" / 5'1": With the three smaller sizes we cover Wing-Foil, Surf-Foil, Wake-Foil and Tow-In-Foil.
- 5'2": Also for Wing-Foil, Surf-Foil, Wake-Foil and Tow-In-Foil, but additionally to be used for advanced Foil-SUP.
- 5'9" / 6'6" and 5'9"-WS / 6'6"-WS:
When it comes to weights, it should be noted that the PATRIK A.I.O. boards have far more possible uses than any other foil board and an additional deep tuttle box in every board!
SHAPE
- Rail: For the 4'6"/5'0"/5'1" we have developed a "step rail" to ensure a good grip when duck diving and to reduce the volume so that the board sinks for more stability in rough and windy weather. It's hard to kneel on a board when it's wavy, and the narrow shape also allows for low flying tight turns with a shorter mast when it's flat. The other sizes have a flat beveled nose entry to reduce drag and prevent the water from catching on the rail. The round, box-shaped rail in the center of the board provides the most volume close to the ground and makes the shape stable during take-offs.
- Cutouts: For an easier and faster takeoff, the trick is to find the right reduction in tail volume to sink and position the front wing with a better angle of attack. The sharp edges around the tail are important to ensure clean water release and reduce drag when increasing or maintaining speed when lifting off and touching down on the water.
- Bottom shape: After testing, we opted for a shallower concave depth to avoid the board dragging too much through the water. We have therefore found a compromise between a slightly softer touchdown and a faster take-off, more acceleration and speed and less resistance with more release after touchdown.
- EVA (Deck Pad): A full deck EVA with an implied bump to quickly see and feel the center of the board.
- Finbox: Whether you're shredding waves, pulling freestyle moves, racing or just cruising... we offer the Deep-Tuttle Foilbox and the 10" US-Tracks in all sizes.
- Inserts: With many different foil setups, a good foot position is crucial. With 68 possible positions for the front foot and 22 for the back foot, we offer more options than anyone else.
- Leash plug & fin handle: Secure your board with a wrist or leg leash that attaches to the leash plug at the tail. For strength & performance reasons, we offer a grab handle fin for carrying the board, which is attached to the underside of the board using the "FCS system" (from size 5'2").
CONSTRUCTION
The stiffer a foil board can be, the more control and performance you have as a rider - it's as simple as that! As the only brand in the world that is able to produce "one-shot monocoque" hollow windsurf boards (AIRINSIDE), we have also transferred our knowledge to our EPS boards. With a full deck-rail-bottom PVC sandwich with full deck-rail-bottom Carbon wrap and the exclusive Pre-Preg Carbon/Honeycomb Mast-track & Deep Tuttle Foil Box (depending on model) and the exclusive monocoque reinforcements, we are easily leading the way in today's construction methods for this sport.
We know that there are boards all over the market at very low prices, but our concern is how long they will last. After the full wing season in Australia, it has become apparent that softer constructions cannot withstand the stresses of more extreme riding, pumping and hard landings. Anyone who is familiar with composite technology and knows a bit about foilboarding knows that a board without a PVC construction will not last long - not even for beginners. It's a fact that any construction without a PVC sandwich shell wrapped around the whole board is simply done by many brands to save money. The feedback from repair shops around the world is also clear - "Any construction without PVC sandwich will not last more than a few months - no matter how many carbon layers you put!"
1) &
2) Static load is the killer for every foil board.
3) Impact is a standard for all learners and pros who want to get better.
That's why we are convinced that we offer you the best boards with the best construction technology currently available.

"I use my production A.I.O.s for everything from Tow-In Foiling to Wingracing to Freestyle. They are light, stiff and the accelleration is simply from another planet. I use the tuttle box with longer masts for racing, straps all the way back and the PVC Carbon 82 mast in the US tracks for freestyle."
BASTIEN ESCOFET (3rd Wingracing Worldtour)
"THE A.I.O. 4'6 works amazing in any kind of conditions from flatwater pumpfoiling to wave winging to freestyle... one board can do it all. My favorite for flatwater winging fun is the 5'1. which gives me that extra volume and accelleration with small 700 frontwings."
