Hope Craft v1

Fred Hope has been foiling for a long time. The world champion knows what works and what doesn't. We decided to give him free-reign to design exactly what he wants. The result is the all-new Hope Craft V1. Fred is always trying new tricks and maneuvers on his foil and he was really adamant about having slightly more volume than the smaller boards we make. He wanted that volume in the nose so that he could recover from touchdowns after radical maneuvers. He also needed stiffness. When you are moving at speed and heading into turns with serious pressure, you need that hero-level stiffness. The Hope Craft takes true performance to the next level. If you are looking for a board that can keep up with your progression the Hope Craft is yours!

Why we made it

Product Details

NEW Max Volume Nose: We built and placed more volume in the nose on the Hope Craft to aid in recoveries on touchdowns and water starts. When trying new or difficult tricks this added volume will make learning and mastering moves easier.

NEW Pro Stiffness Core: The stiffest core we make! We implemented both wood and PVC stringers and a new beefed up glass layup. This results in little to no flex when the board is under pressure during turns and or charging upwind.

Beveled Rails: Beveled rails prevent the board from grabbing the water when you touch down, which allows you to skip off the water and keep going instead of grinding to a halt.

Corduroy Eva: Super soft EVA features a corduroy texture that provides tons of grip (and is as pleasing to your feet as it is to the eye).

Adjustable Foil Track Mount: This allows you to slide your foil forward and aft on your board to fine tune how it feels and performs based on your size, ability and personal preference.
