We present the Patrik A.I.O Windsurf Foil Board.
Foil boardfor quick and easy learning of fast riding!
Foil-DTB included in the scope of delivery:
- 4 PATRIK foot straps
- air valve
A.I.O. stands for "All In One" and these shapes look like they were forged in another time!
We couldn't be prouder of the fact that they are hailed as the "Tesla of wingboards" in Germany!
These innovative all-in-one boards are built to last! The fullCarbon sandwich PVC construction makes these boards very stiff and consecutively very powerful. On the A.I.O. you'll feel connected to your foil like you've never experienced before.
We decided to really give you all the options with our A.I.O. range, so all boards have both fin box options: the Foil Deep Tuttle (DTB) and also the standard Double US Plate system. If you want nothing less than the best ... here is the A.I.O. WS!
SHAPE
Rail: A flat beveled nose entry reduces drag and prevents water from getting caught on the rail. The round, boxy rail in the center of the board gives the most volume near the bottom and makes the shape stable to kneel on.
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 drag 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 for all our sizes.
Inserts: With so many different foil setup options, foot position is key and with 68 possible holes on the forefoot and 22 holes on the rearfoot, we offer every strap position you need.
Leash plug & fin handle: Secure your board with a hand 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".

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 complete deck-rail-bottom PVC sandwich with full deck-rail-bottom Carbon sheathing and the exclusive Pre-Preg Carbon /HoneycombMast-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 extreme riding, pumping and hard landings. Anyone familiar with composite technology and foilboarding knows that a board construction without PVC will not last long for any rider - not even the beginner. It's a fact that any construction without a PVC sandwich shell wrapped around the 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) Stiffness & lightweight are the key words to learn quickly and perform best in competition.
2) Static load isthe 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. Try it out and feel the difference!
