With the I-Ufo Pro we wanted to further reduce the gap between the inflatable boards and the rigid boards. The shape has been completely revised; the I-Ufo Pro have parallel edges to glide better at the start while the volume is evenly distributed over the entire surface. In this way the board is much more stable in the floating phase and an experienced rider can go down in volume without major worries.
The scoop is always marked in order to make the landings perfect, while the structure has been stiffened with a triple layer of PVC carbon look on the edges. We have moved back the position of the foot straps and the “Compoplate” composite plate to improve the starting point and the general control. This is the uncompromising inflatable wing foil board, for riders who want to fly and jump higher and higher, without sacrificing the convenience of transport that only an inflatable board can give.
Construction
For over 10 years we have been designing the best inflatable Sup boards in the world, so we have used the same technology that we have been using on our racing boards for years. We have entrusted the construction of our boards to one of the best companies specialized in the production of high-quality inflatable boards. Reptile Sports is a brand that for more than twenty years has been involved in the production of windsurf masts and carbon parts of the highest quality standard, and everything we put on the market must have the same level.
The material used for the I-Ufo Pro is the exclusive Fusion D-Layer drop stitch, a latest generation material that replaces the old Double Layer. Less weight, same stiffness, and much lower costs than many years ago, with an absolutely better product also in terms of stiffness and reliability.
Instead of the single nylon US-Box box that we use on our Sups, on the I-Ufo Pro inflatable wing boards we have created a solid plate in high quality composite material with two slits to connect it to the foil. This connection system is called Double US Box, and it is the same as what we find on composite boards. And in fact, this is a composite board (the plate) with an inflatable part added on it.
Available in 4 sizes, from 45 to 95 liters, the I-Ufo Pro is an unbeatable solution for those who want maximum performance combined with maximum transport convenience. Ideal for both experienced and less experienced riders. The composite material plate, produced by our Compoplate technology, is incorporated into the inflatable part by means of numerous PVC layers of different weights, to make this area solid and immovable. The feeling this board will give you is practically similar to a rigid board.
The I-Ufo Pro has the reinforced edges of triple PVC Carbon-look, while the Diamond Pad is glued on the deck, a special non-slip pad tested in the world cup on our I-Racer inflatable sup.
The inflation valve was installed on the hull. The reason is simple: by inflating the board you will not damage the composite plate on the road or on the rocks, or you will not fill it with sand. Also, you won't have to turn the board to install the foil. Reptile branded innovation.
Last detail, the foot straps. For the front foot straps we have designed the V-Straps, which allows you to have a more central position on the board during the flight.
Equipment
The I-Ufo Pro is supplied with all the accessories to be ready to be transported and enter the water, wings and foils excluded!
The innovative Compoplate composite plate is firmly incorporated into the inflatable structure. On the plate we have obtained an innovative groove to be able to transport the board in the water with the mounted foil.
The ultralight V-straps set is included in the kit, together with its screws. With the I-Ufo Pro you can fly with or without straps, it depends on the style!
The Pad of our boards is also of the latest generation. Diamond Groove, this is the name of the pad design, specifically developed to not stress the soles of the feet and at the same time never slip. 20% lighter than previous pads, it absorbs very little water.
We haven't forgotten the 10 'Reptile leash. The leash is a very important accessory for your safety and that of others. You will not risk losing the wing foil board during falls or big jumps by hitting other people. The length of the leash has been designed in such a way that in the event of a fall in the waves the board remains at a certain safety distance from you, so as not to be hit by the foil.
You will also find the screws and special blind nuts to connect the foil to the board. Important, use only the nuts supplied to avoid damaging the board by drilling it.
Finally, the repair kit is included in the box, as well as the pump to inflate your I-Ufo Pro quickly and efficiently. The pump has the Double Action function, which means that to inflate the board faster, the pump will send air both outward and in return. When the pressure is high, just deselect the Double Action system to pump only one way.
Everything we have listed is placed inside the elegant and functional Trolley / backpack. You can travel the world with this trolley with dimensions of 85x80x20 cm. Inside you can also store a foil and two wings. Less is more!
Shape
The shape has been completely revised, the I-Ufo Pro have parallel edges to glide better at the start and detach from the water first, while the volume is evenly distributed almost over the entire surface, especially in the center. In this way the board is much more stable in the floating phase and an experienced rider can go down in volume without major worries.
The rocker on the nose is less accentuated than the I-Ufo, for two reasons: the first is that the I-Ufo Pro are shorter, and therefore are much less likely to burrow when they are in flight, the second is because we also wanted to give a greater cue in sliding when the board lands. The greatest volume is concentrated between the rider's legs, so that you are always well balanced when sinking or after landings.
