Welcome Code Foils at Epic Boardsports
At Epic Boardsports, we are passionate about bringing the best innovations in watersports technology to our customers. From inception 13 years ago, we wanted to be proud to own everything we stocked and sold in the shop! This is why we’re thrilled to introduce Code Foils, the latest addition to our lineup. As a new player in the industry, Code Foils is redefining expectations with their cutting-edge designs, unmatched craftsmanship, and use of advanced materials, all while keeping assembly and maintenance extremely simple.
In this blog, we’ll explore what makes Code Foils stand out, why we chose to carry their products, and how they offer a premium product and experience for foilers of all sizes and discipliness. Please read on to see why Code Foils may be your next upgrade!
Innovative Design: Code Foils prides itself on designing products from scratch, free from the constraints of legacy designs. This freedom allows them to implement features and refinements that other brands can’t match. At first, I thought brands like Armstrong Foils that committed to backwards compatibility were refreshing and the future of the sport. But, as time has gone on, that commitment has led to some brands being unable or unwilling to address design problems. More specifically, you can evidence this by the increasing amount of hardware needed to secure modern, high-aspect wings. Simplicity meets functionality with Code Foils. Their foil kits are designed for easy assembly with only six bolts, reducing potential issues like seizure, corrosion, or shear. As well, Code Foils overall stiffness from the design addresses problems like twist created when a hexagonal fitment from a foil like Armstrong wear and round over time leading to excessive slop and twist.
2. Performance Breakdown: Why Code Foils Excel
When it comes to performance, Code Foils sets a new benchmark. Here’s what makes them different:
Hydrodynamics
Code Foils are meticulously crafted for optimal lift, speed, and control. Whether you’re carving waves or pumping between sets, their design ensures smooth and efficient movement through the water. It is commonly said that the wings are so efficient, you can frequently ride a smaller size right away due to improve maneuverability while maintaining the lift and stability of your existing foil.
Durability
Using High Modulus Carbon and Ultra High Modulus Carbon, Code Foils offers durability and stiffness without unnecessary weight. Code foils base level of construction is high-modulus carbon. For many brands, high-modulus carbon is reserved for their premium kits or after-market purchase (not included with their base kits). Code Foils takes that build quality a step further with their + or Plus series masts. These masts are ultra high modulus carbon made for bigger/ heavier riders or riders riding high-aspect "spanny" wings.
Ease of Maintenance
One of the standout features of Code Foils is their simplicity. With only six bolts required for assembly, they are easy to care for and maintain. This design minimizes the risk of seizure, corrosion, and shear, giving you peace of mind whether you’re in saltwater or freshwater environments.
Versatility
Given that many riders now participate in many different foiling disciplines, being able to swap out wings, tails, and fuselages quickly has become more of a priority. With a brand like Armstrong, to change the fuselage, you must detach the tail and front wings, then slide the fuselage out. Code foils uses extensions to create an overall fuselage length. These are sold in S, M, and L and are half the price of an Armstrong fuselage as well. To swap out from a medium to large fuse, you need only to detach the extension from the front wing and/change your tail.
User Feedback
Code Foils are known for their responsiveness, stability, and lightweight feel. From weekend warriors to advanced riders, their feedback consistently highlights the superior craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
