Review of the Kujira 980 from Foiling Magazine
Foiling Magazine
Thanks to Foiling Magazine for such an amazing review of our humpback whale inspired foil.
"Paddling out on the Kujira feels natural. The foil is light and as soon as you give it a little cadence it assists the balance of the board and follows the movements of your body naturally. This is a plus when you are paddling extremely small boards. Again, catching a wave feels natural and the take-off is comfortable. It lifts gradually and accelerates instantly as your feet land on the board.
The Kujira 980 has a graduated lift and is extremely stable at any altitude, deep or close to the surface. The foil is really stiff and any impulse is gradually amplified giving you a highly controlled exponential amount of energy – it builds speed gradually and seems to glide forever. The carving control is ultra-responsive but predictable and you can ride this thing as smooth or as radical as you want. The speed, balance and stability are mind blowing and it is extremely close to the feeling of traditional surfing. Any good surfer with a bit of background in foiling will shred on that foil in a couple of sessions. It breaches wingtips and sends critical maneuvers with a lot of power and balance. Jumping and landing in the white water is definitely part of the program, as well as going really fast and sending some freestyle moves with a wing.
Wingfoiling with the Kujira opens new horizons in this sport, giving you a lot of speed and control in your manoevers. The Kujira range covers all the disciplines of foiling from downwind sessions, full speed kite and wing foiling to big wave foiling. The Kujira 980 is a high performing yet ultra-accessible hydrofoil that will suit any intermediate to high level rider. It is one of the most advanced and yet predictable hydrofoils that I’ve had the chance to ride so far on my foiling journey."
