Summary
Lightweight, built to last, with the first-ever seamless Ace-Tec construction, the RAPTOR Launch 5.8 is here to break down barriers in the wing-foiling world. The RAPTOR Launch 5.8 AT is perfect for beginner and intermediate larger-size wing foilers.
From the mind of master shaper/designer Mark Raaphorst the RAPTOR Launch is our newest Foilboard created using our Ace-Tec construction. An exciting challenge for Mark, this is the first board he has shaped manufactured in Ace-Tec technology. The finished product is revolutionary, and Mark is excited about the doors it will open for new wing foilers, casual weekend warriors, and intermediate larger-size foilers looking for a board that will stand the test of time.
Like all his designs, Mark's attention to detail is evident. The full nose outline and straight tail rocker provide paddling stability without sacrificing performance. The rear foil placement and bottom chine provide easy lift-off and forgiveness during learning touchdowns. The double-slotted box allows for more secure mounting of the foil, and the diamond-grove textured EVA pad provides traction and grip when turning. Narrower foot strap placement is ideal for wing foiling allowing for dynamic turning.
