READY TO FOIL board
The test-winning freerace board for technical windsurfing, looking for the impossible: maximum speed mixed with comfort, control and jibing precision. The perfect board for long distance racing.
The Futura shapes are carried-over from 2017 with their shorter, wider outlines, thinner profiles, new tail shapes and new Vee distribution.
They are offered in two technologies: our new Carbon L.C.F. construction designed for the lowest weight but also the lowest carbon footprint and our Carbon Reflex construction, our very lightest technology that uses the most exclusive, lightest biaxial grade carbon fibres for an even lighter weight on the scales.
PROFILE
All Futuras use the equivalent size iSonic rockerline, the basis for their top racing performance.
They have an extra thin profile with a deep deck concave for maximum control, the lowest center of gravity and a more efficient, vertical sail position.

OUTLINES
With lengths between 233 and 235 cm, the Futuras are relatively short, thin and wide for a wider wind range and planing efficiency.
Their narrow tails help improve jibing performance while the added area above the cut-aways improve jibe exit speed without affecting straight line performances.

BOTTOM SHAPE
The Futuras have a more pronounced Vee throughout the hull for jibing performance, comfort and a more lively ride.
CUT-AWAYS
Open-angle cut-away shapes prevent water trapping, reduce turbulence and wetted area to release more top end speed.
ADDED VOLUME
Resulting from the same design program as the iSonics, the Futuras have added volume above the cut-aways which helps to keep speed in and out of the jibe.
RAILS
The rails are rounder and thinner than an iSonic for more carving bite and easy jibing.
They have a visible Carbon Innegra rail band that adds to the boards’ core structural stiffness.

SLICK FOOTSTRAPS AND PADS
The Futuras offer a more comfortable sailing position and more footstrap position options than the iSonics.
They come with a new generation of Drake Slick straps that are more comfortable than the Drake UltraLight straps and where the top cover is made from recycled plastic bottles, in partnership with Waste2Wear. They're strong and comfortable with strap-size indicators for easy adjustments.

SLALOM DW
The Futuras are fitted with Drake flagship’s Slalom DW Ready to Race fins, top-end production fins that will bring out the best in the Futuras.
The Slalom DW model provides huge amounts of speed and acceleration with a great jibing ability.

CARBON L.C.F.
They are also available in our new carbon construction designed for the lightest weight but also the lowest carbon footprint.
