Introduced last March, El Capitano has been a crowd-favorite among foilers. In the new El Capitano Designer Talk, Damien Girardin covers how he designed El Capitano based on our FlightAttendant foil and how he kept the balance between ease of use and performance. With an aspect ratio of 9.5, El Capitano is placed in the sector of high-aspect performance foils, targeted at intermediate to advanced foilers. Those riders can expect more pumping efficiency, endless glide, and tight carving turns. El Capitano comes in 6 sizes from the extremely fast 575, to our pump and glide machine the 1695. This range suits all needs from high-performance kite- and wingfoiling, all the way to dock starting and downwind foiling.
“El Capitano foils are designed for speed, glide, predictability with an added bonus of easy breaching of the wingtip in those tight turns”
