RRD give us news on their foil board – “With this board you can finally go in the water with 7/8 knots and make the most of light wind and locations with marginal conditions. We fully believe that FOIL WINDSURFING will have a future in our sport. The H-Fire 91 is designed to be used with sails from 5 meters up to 7.5. It is 236 x 91 cm and 150 litres, the right size for quick and easy learning; it also allows you to maintain control during the ups and downs of the FOIL, especially at high speeds. The 236 cm length also makes it more manageable in your first jibes with a FOIL. The back of the board is particularly wide for ease of use and planing.

The H-Fire 91 is specifically designed with a FOIL FIN BOX to hold the strong forces generated from the hydrofoil mast, board, sail and rider. It is also covered largely with a pad, for maximum comfort and proper alignment throughout the launch phase and is additionally provided with a handle for transport. It can also be used with the standard Windsurf fin and becomes a “no compromise light wind board” as we have added  cut outs to make it easy planing and gybing.”
