Tucker from MACkite discusses the Code Foils lineup in their "Foil Fridays" segment, emphasizing their exceptional qualities, which led to their inclusion in the shop's offerings despite having many other brands. He highlights two main series: the Code S Series and the Code R Series.
Code S Series
Designation: The 'S' potentially stands for 'surf' but also implies 'speed' due to its impressive glide and speed range.
Characteristics: These foils are surf-oriented yet fast, offering a balance of maneuverability and speed, making them suitable for a variety of disciplines. They are especially noted for their ease of pumping and extra lift, which Tucker suggests might lead users to opt for a slightly smaller size than usual for maximized performance.
Usage: Ideal for the majority, particularly in conditions ranging from light wind to more robust wave settings. Tucker personally prefers sizes 850 and 980 depending on conditions, highlighting their versatility across small waves and flat water.
Code R Series
Designation: The 'R' likely stands for 'race,' indicated by its extreme speed and glide capabilities.
Characteristics: These high-aspect foils boast a significant span and are optimized for downwind racing and gliding due to their efficiency. Despite their size, they maintain low stall speeds and are still manageable in breaking waves, though their span may require attention to avoid issues.
Usage: Best suited for enthusiasts focused on downwind activities. The 770 size is recommended for its speed and lower-end lift, offering an impressive balance of performance traits.
Additional Components
Stabilizers (Stabs): Two series of stabilizers complement the foils. The AR series is more surf-oriented, adding maneuverability and flow in turns, while the high-aspect stabs of the R series enhance directional stability and speed, suitable for both the R series and an upgraded S series performance.
Construction and Design
Materials and Build: The Code foils are noted for their clean, efficient design and stiffness, contributing to superior performance especially for heavier riders. The construction utilizes high-modulus carbon for added stiffness and durability.
Overall
Tucker praises the Code Foils for their intuitive performance, adaptability across various conditions, and high-quality construction. He underscores their potential to enhance the riding experience for both recreational and competitive foil users. The lineup is also anticipated to expand with an R series fuselage, further broadening the performance options available to enthusiasts.
