From the beginning of our research and development we were sure that a racefoilboard designed for light wind needs more board volume. To increase the
volume of a board you can make it wider, thicker or longer. If we would make the board wider it would be a disadvantage for the upwind leg because the edge touches the water earlier and a
longer board has a sluggish feeling. So we decided to make it thicker but only in the nose area where volume is needed the most. The result is the "Beluga Nose"
("Beluga Nose" because the beluga whale has got a similar body shape). With this nose design we have the same performance like a other race Foilboards in normal wind conditions but better performance in light wind.
Compared to other brands it was never the idea to improve the aerodynamic characteristic by making this sleek nose. But this shape decreases the drag caused by the air especially in high speed which is an additional advantage. (If you are interested how to go fast on your foil, there will be an other Blog soon)
