Featuring a low 9° blade angle and a low aspect ratio blade outline. The FoilX has a powerful catch, and the shorter blade promotes a higher paddlingfoilxnce. A shallow power scoop and reduced blade volume further encourages increased cadence and explosive paddling – helping you to get up onto foil with fewer paddle strokes. With increased area in the toe of the blade, a quick and shallow paddle stroke will give instant boost if necessary to keep you from dropping off foil between swells. The componentized system enables you to customize your FoilX to suit your paddling needs and replace parts as desired.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePADDLE INFO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModerate \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e9.5° Blade Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003ca class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe FoilX has a moderate 9.5° blade angle results an easier catch, with a smooth paddle entry, slightly more forgiving feel, and increased comfort.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeading Blade Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBlack Project is the global leader in paddling innovation. The FoilX features a single shallow scoop design with extended dihedral shaped edges. This design is optimized for high cadence and high-power output, and it delivers forward thrust in a smooth and controlled manner. The FoilX incorporates REACT+ Technology (RE+T), with two external carbon plates, amplifying blade power, responsiveness, and energy return. Strategically placing these laminates on the outer layer of the structure multiplies the overall effect, resulting in an impressive stiffness-to-weight ratio. The RE+T is tuned for each blade size, ensuring optimal flex tailored to paddler size. The distinctive design of the FoilX incorporates our Power Ridge (PRT) and Reduced Blade Volume (RBVT) technologies which when combined, lead to a strong, light, and efficient blade. With too many features to list, when choosing Black Project, you are assured that you are putting your performance, safety, and foiling stoke, in the hands of a company, who like you, only accepts excellence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResponsive Ergonomic Shaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe all-new Tour Carbon shaft series is a key component of the FoilX that brings reduced weight, added power, responsiveness, grip, and comfort. The tapered oval design increases stiffness in the lower shaft area for enhanced stability and power transfer to the blade. The more flexible and thinner round upper section helps to reduce fatigue. The oval-shaped middle-grip area provides a directional feel and a secure grip with a natural carbon-textured matte finish. Our lightest, most responsive shafts are built with 30T carbon. The Tour series offers four distinct profiles, each with various length and stiffness options.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward Winning Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe award-winning hollow carbon PowerGrip ensures that every ounce of effort is translated into forward motion; the ergonomic design maintains comfort throughout extended foil sessions. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLong lasting comfort for SUP foiling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImproved connection between hand and paddle increases power.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHollow pre-prep carbon construction for reduced weight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction \u0026amp; Componentization:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe have seven+ years experience working with foiling athletes in Hawaii. These athletes have benefited from our componentized paddle system with hot glue assembly; this enables all parts to be swapped or replaced as needed. Ideal for optimization but also in case of damage, this unique system is great for the paddler and better for the environment. The FoilX introduces our new X-Flex high density CNC foam core, which is both stiffer and more resistant to impact, this is combined with new higher modulus carbon laminates to increase strength, reduce weight, and enhance flex properties.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLifetime Part Replacement Policy:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReplacement parts are available at a reduced cost throughout the life of your paddle.

A lower flex number relates to less flex and produces a stiffer paddle (lower flex rating). Heavier and taller paddlers will need a stiffer shaft whereas smaller and lighter paddlers need more flex (higher flex rating). Length affects stiffness, select based on your paddle height and weight. Stiffer is not always better, the right shaft for your weight and height, is the best shaft.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Black Project","offers":[{"title":"S (84) \/ TourCarbon - 70","offer_id":45371764703414,"sku":"106947","price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/9758\/9686\/files\/FoilX_13dd50a6-8e0b-430b-ad22-18fb80f2a478.webp?v=1787246750","url":"https:\/\/gorgeperformance.com\/products\/foilx-tourcarbon-ctf","provider":"Gorge Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
