TAAROA - AO FOIL (1500 & 1900)

Technical information

Our foil, to satisfy your flying desires

Our aim was to enable you to enjoy your favourite spots in as many wind conditions as possible, all with just one foil.

We designed a versatile foil:

• with good low-speed lift: it will enable you to sail in light winds, while maintaining a gradual take-off.
• it remains balanced in stronger winds, so you can keep control in the toughest conditions.

Two advantages: scalable and adaptable

• Compatible with the entire TAAROA range: you can adapt and upgrade your foil as you wish, from the front wing to the stabilizer, mast and fuselage - everything is interchangeable!
• The foil benefits from the standard double US box (system for attaching the foil to the board), making it compatible with most boards on the market.

Front Wing

• Versatile, the wing has very good lift and works in as many wind conditions as possible. Pumping is efficient and glide is maximized.
• The extended foil ratio keeps the glide going even when changing tack, making maneuvering easier.
• Slightly pronounced delta for the best balance between glide and handling.
• Design: different thicknesses of fiberglass (bi-directional and unidirectional) to optimize the foil's rigidity and robustness.
• Assembled using Taaroa's universal system: 3 off-center M8 screws for perfect hold - a guarantee of durability - easy assembly and disassembly.
• Rounded tip finish: reduces the risk of injury (in the event of contact with the foil) and the risk of tearing (in the event of contact with the sail).
• DIMENSIONS:
  • 1500 cm²:
    • Wingspan: 970 mm
    • Chord: 187 mm
    • Weight: 1200 g / (Foil complet sans housse : 4,9 Kg) (+/- 10%)

The stabilizer

DIMENSIONS:

• Wingspan: 468 mm
• Chord: 77 mm
• Weight: 290 g (+/- 10%)

Mast 80 cm

• Great compromise for maximum versatility (Wing / Kite / Surf).
• Rigid for direct, precise feedback (reactivity) between your foot and the foil, giving you better control.
• Hydrodynamic mast profile to generate as little drag as possible and ensure good glide quality.

Fuselage 62 cm

• Hardened, machined and anodized 6061 aluminum for maximum strength.
• Replaceable stainless steel thread inserts insulated with insulating grease between materials to reduce the risk of corrosion.
• Tapered mast/fuselage assembly so there's never any play in your foil.

The foil is supplied with

• Each foil component: front wing, stabilizer, plate, mast, fuselage and adaptor.
• Screws and bolts: two M6 screws for the stabilizer, eleven M8 screws for the rest of the components.
• Tools: M6 wrench and M8 wrench supplied.
• Additional screws in case of loss: two M8 and one M6.
• Carrying bag included.
