Carbon Series V4 hydrofoil

The Carbon series kitefoil By Zeeko is back on the water with a 4th version (V4) even more successful:

• The Carbon series kitefoil is made of a new higher modulus carbon fiber increasing the stiffness of the mast even lighter.

• The fuselage is made of anodized aluminum alloy reducing the overall drag of the foil increasing in the same time the stiffness and the reactivity of the hydrofoil.

The hydrofoil is lighter, stiffer, heavy duty and super fast in turns

FEATURES

- Mast and wings 100% carbon made

- High quality building and finishing

- Innovative profile optmized with digital wind tunnel calculations

- Plate connexion to the board (tuttle connexion on order)

- A full range of front wings and vertical fins fitting all the riding styles (speed, freestyle, wave, jumps)

- New shorter and more performant fuselage

- Super light hydrofoil for a better control and big jumps

100cm HIGH MODULUS MAST

- An extremely high quality construction. The carbon series hydrofoil is fully made in Europe using 100% High Modulus Carbon (bi axis and UD carbon fibers), shaped under high pressure in heated steel mold according to the V-RTM process for a maximum of stiffness and a perfect finishing.

- The carbon mast design use innovative profils reducing the ventilation at high speed.

- The 100cm mast length is perfect for experts, chops and for riders who love to jumps thankls to the pop of the foil.

- The plate connexion allows to trim the location of the hydrofoil on the board ( for boards equipped with 2 US rails). The plate design increases the stiffness and the control of the hydrofoil.

FUSELAGE

The V4 Carbon ZEEKO hydrofoil is supplied with a shorter fuselage made of aluminium alloy (this fuselage is also compatible with the previous carbon series hydrofoil from V1 to V4 version).

This new fuselage allows to:

- Increase the stiffness of the hydrofoil: direct drive and better control

- Reduce the overall drag of the hydrofoil: the glide and the max speed are improved

- Increase the carving ability of the hydrofil while keeping the legendary longitudinal axis stability of the ZEEKO hydrofoils

- React quickly: The take off for the jumps are more efficient.

The fuselage is made of a specific aluminium alloy with the best corrosion resistance and a higher stiffness for the same weight of a carbon fuselage and is milled with 5 axis CNC machine in Europe.

The yaw effect can be very detrimental for a beginner, and also for a wave rider.

To suit all riders, we developed vertical fins you can change to tune the yaw effect.

The taller the vertical fin is, the less yaw effect you get, helping you during your first stages, jumps and at high speed.

To broaden your experiences, we developed several vertical fins (2 sizes), using the same distance between screws as twin tip fins. No need to cut your back wings anymore to ride in

waves !

The V4 Carbon series hydrofoil is supplied with a 4cm height vertical fin and can be switch with a 2.5cm one to increase the carving ability of the hydrofoil.

WAVE 300 STABILIZER

The V4 CARBON series hydrofoil is supplied with the WAVE 300 stabilizer.

Tis stabilizer is a high surface stabilizer fully made of carbon. Associated with the short fuselage, the foil delivers a maximum of manoeuvrability while keeping a maximum of longitudinal axis stability.

The hydrofoil is easy and react very quickly in the same to all of rider inputs.

For a even faster handling, the foil can be equipped with a smaller stabilizer (option on demand)

CARVER 950 FRONT WING

The CARVER 950 front wing is the latest addition to the ZEEKO kitefoil wings range.

The 950cm² surface area

ts surface of 950cm² provides an early take-off ideal for light wind days and small kites.

The thin profile increase the max speed for such a size (approx 24knots of speed).

The wing is designed with a anhedral wingspan on the center to increase the yaw control and the tips are designed with dihedral shape in order to reduce ventilation effect when the wing pierce the water line.

The V4 hydrofoil can also be equipped with a race wing (perfect for jumps and upwinding), a speed wing for a maximum of acceleration and speed, a freeride wing for a maximum of versatility or a 710 G10 Carver wing for the highest strength.

SALTED WATER AND ALLOY

The aluminum parts are anodized. The aluminum alloy is the most resistant to salt water. The foil is also supplied with T-Gel. The tef gel stops the galvanic corrosion between A4 stainless steel screws and aluminum components and prevents oxidation.

We recommend the application of this gel (supplied with our foils) every 2 weeks after rinsing with fresh water.
