F-CROSS

THE WINDSURF ALLROUNDER!

Call it anything you like, “Freemove”, “Freestyle-Wave”, “Bump & Jump” or whatever, the important thing to know is that this is the most versatile shape in our range.
To cruise along, carve some old-school manoeuvres, ride some waves, pop some new-school freestyle tricks, match-race your mate…. The F-Cross can do all of this perfectly well and all you need to do is choose your footstrap and fin setup.

FOIL-READY in the 124, 136 and 147 sizes:
The short and compact shape of the F-Cross works very well as a freeride foil board in the brand-new big sizes 124, 136 and 147. They are wide enough for a good foot offset (more control) and short enough for good aerodynamics in freeride foiling conditions.

Welcome to our most fun shape ever! 

CONSTRUCTION

The topic where opinions split radically. But at the end of day let the advanced riders prove that our construction is built to last. The full carbon/kevlar deck is light and stiff with a good impact resistance. The Biax glass fibres on the bottom give you that controlled extra flex our riders love for the big turns and landings. Important fact: The softer biax glass spreads the load much better into the 3d construction than a full carbon bottom would. This results in better flex, better strength and better overall performance, while saving some money on production costs where it’s not needed. Patrik Diethelms knowlede in composite construction is unmatched in the windsurf industry. This is our way of creating sustainable products that will last you many years when used correctly.

SHAPE

OPTICAL ASPECT & FOOTPADS
The 6mm thick diamond groove grip pad has an extra 6mm soft sponge under-layer which makes it a total of 12mm. It’s very comfortable and it spreads out the load of your foot onto the deck construction well.

OUTLINE
A harmonic curve all the way through the length with a rounded off tail for the extra tight carving ability.

ROCKER LINE
Straight flat on the big size for best planning and acceleration performance in the light wind and constantly increasing rocker the smaller the board for more maneuverability and wave-oriented range of use.

VOLUME DISTRIBUTION
On the bigger sizes, the back-foot height is almost even with the front foot for early planning and straight-line performance. The smaller the boards the slightly thinner the tail with a lower back foot for more wave-oriented use.

BOTTOM SHAPE
Double concaved V with stabilizing side flats from the nose to the front strap to absorb the chop and give it a comfortable ride and then blend into a flat panel V all the way to the tail for all-around cruising stability and easy rail-to-rail transitions in maneuvers.

RAILS/TUCK
A bit thicker and boxier rails on the bigger boards for rail floatation and non-planning stability and slightly thinner and rounder on the smaller sizes for more carving and grip in the turns.

DECK SHAPE
At the tail strap the deck is designed to have enough dome and curve to give you a comfortable stance when using the center or the double straps. Light dome deck to hide volume in the board center and make the construction stiffer.

FIN & INSERTS
There is a Powerbox on all 4 smaller sizes (87, 94, 103, 113). While the 3 bigger sizes (124,136,147) have the foil-ready Deep Tuttle box. The F-cross comes equipped with a PATRIK fin, see the table below to see which PATRIK fin comes with which board. More inward insert plugs for a 3x strap setup and more outside inserts for a more racey 4x strap setup. Each insert has 4-positions for individual trim adjustment.
