LE MAGAZINENew S-Foil 950 High Aspect Speed
After several dozen hours of testing and many prototypes, we are delighted to present our brand new foil: the S-Foil 950 HA Speed ! Composed of the new 950 High Aspect Speed fin and the new
240 stabilizer
, this combo will not leave you indifferent. We have taken the time to study all the variables in order to offer you a high-performance and quality plug and play product.

How does this new foil perform?
Our aim was to develop an ultra-fast, very stable foil with unrivalled gliding sensations. It’s a foil with which you can ride big swell trains without limits. Whether it’s Wingfoil, Surf foil, Kitefoil or SUPfoil, the 950 HA Speed will become your new favorite foil fin.
The S-Foil HA 950 Speed is also extremely responsive. Thanks to its 100% carbon structure (non-foamed), this fin is unbreakable. It provides maximum rigidity and therefore responsiveness. What we are looking for above all is precision on the downforce in order to have maximum control in our turns.
It is a very easy to access foil. You won’t have any trouble taming it because it’s plug and play. We’ve developed it so that you don’t have to make any additional adjustments. You could say that the foil is “self-adjusted”.
Features of the S-Foil 950 HA Speed
High ratio aspect : the high aspect ratio of the wing gives it an unrivalled finesse of flight. It will allow you to be very fast and enjoy an excellent glide.
Low relative thickness : thanks to its low thickness, the fin will give you an exceptional glide and nice speed peaks beyond 26 knots.
The rope : the 14.5 cm rope gives enough tolerance to the foil for an easy and accessible start on schedule.
Refined tips : the tips of the fin have been worked so that they are refined enough to allow for greater maneuverability.
The new 240 (cm2) stabilizer has also been completely designed for optimal performance. The wingspan is reduced and the chord and thickness have also been decreased. This new stabilizer is therefore more playful and more manoeuvrable (compatible with all foils of the classic and high aspect Sroka range).
The glide of flight of the S-Foil 950 HA Speed
The new S-Foil 950 HA Speed has excellent flight finesse, but what is foil flight finesse?
You could compare it with a glider. Glide of flight is the distance that the glider will travel without any propulsion effect. In foiling it’s the same principle, it’s the distance that the foil will travel once launched, without giving it any momentum.
A foil fin with a high ratio will have a greater glide of flight. This can be explained by the significant lengthening of the wing, with a wingspan of 85 cm for the 950. The higher the aspect ratio, the greater the glide of flight but on the other hand you will lose maneuverability.
So it’s up to you how you want to browse. With a high aspect ratio you will make less effort to cover the same distance, your foil will accelerate longer but it will be less maneuverable and more technical.
To regain maneuverability, while keeping the same fin, there are several options: See options
For those looking for more handling and accessibility, we are in the process of developing a classic 950. It will give you control and maneuverability whatever your level.
