Code Foils
Code Foils is an Australian hydrofoil brand designed and owned by foilers. The company is founded by designers Marcus and Ben Tardrew, architect and manufacturing expert Daniel Juengling, and watersports professional James Casey. The team develops and tests products in-service, with the goal of consistent performance across a range of disciplines.
The founders of Code Foils previously worked as team riders for major brands and in the surf shop, handling warranties. Based on this experience, the team knew exactly what works and what doesn't, and what lasts and what doesn't. Code Foils are designed with stiffness and durability in mind, yet with top-notch ride characteristics. The wide speed range, feel and maneuverability make Code Foils a pleasure to ride.
From the Foiling Shop's perspective, Code Foils is a manufacturer whose range covers the needs of surfing, winging and downwind with clear product lines and technically sound solutions. The Code Foils range is quite straightforward, including three different models from widest to narrowest:
- R = wide, good glide
- S = universal model
- X = narrow, good maneuverability
R-Series
AR 13 - The high aspect ratio makes the R-wing fast and great for gliding. The wide tip spacing makes cornering a bit more difficult, but this wing is designed for efficient progress. Especially good for downwind. Pumps like a dream.
S-Series
The AR 9.5 - S-series is suitable for all foiling applications, whether it's wing foiling, downwinding or pumping. Strong lift even at low speeds, good turning and glide make the wing truly versatile.
X-Series
AR 8.2 - The X-series has the lowest aspect ratio. The smaller tip spacing makes the foil agile. Designed specifically for strong cornering in waves and fast riding. For those who like to ride hard but not necessarily straight. No jerking if the tip of the wing comes out of the water.
