Code Foils 135R Tail Wing

The Midlength is more than a board, it’s an approach. It’s the unconventional idea that in a world hellbent on giving you so many choices that you can hardly pick what to take out for a session, doing more with less is an inspiring alternative. True to its surf-inspired name, the new Midlength board range truly redefines when and how you can go foiling. It’s the ace up your sleeve, the session saver, hell, it’s a fast-paddling, rippable flight time booster that’s your new superpower. It gives you the freedom to define how you ride. The choice is yours. 

We hit the sweet spot

A uniquely happy medium. Slotting in between our Prone, Wing and Downwind boards, the Midlength is a session saver on small or light days with excellent paddle power and an easy release to get you up on foil. That speed and efficiency work equally well to boost your confidence when hunting down bigger surf; the Midlength paddles like a rhino chaser that transforms into your shortboard once in flight. Forget choosing the perfect board, just get on the water and let the board melt away as you take in everything else.

A goldilocks ratio of dimensions and volume makes for optimum glide, stability and manoevrability so you don’t need to be a pro to up your time on foil.

From the shaping bay

• Outline: A pointed but not overly sharp nose, gently tapering midsection and pulled in tail make for an efficient glider for prone paddling into either small or large surf. That glide translates remarkably well when winging, too – the Midlength is an amazing light wind machine that rockets off the water with nearly the ease of a Downwind board.
• Rocker and rails: Progressive rocker from the nose to the foil tracks keeps things lively in the pocket and makes touchdown recovery easier, and tail kick out the back makes for easy pumping and a clean release on launch. Soft rails up front progress into harder lines out the back for efficient flow and balanced on-water tracking and responsiveness.
• Bottom: Pulling from the Downwind boards, a subtle double concave at the nose works its way flat at the foil tracks and finally into the diamond-V tail shape for a quick pop up and maximum un-stickiness when touching down. If a board ever wanted to stay in the air, this would be it.

More grip, more control, more soul

Redefine your footwork. Like the deck grip on our Wing FG and DW foilboards, the Midlength's deck grip is tailored specifically to provide you with maximum control and comfort to enable your style across different foil sports. In conjunction with the Midlength's flat deck, the grip features raised arch bars above the foil tracks and elevated wedges in the rear of the pad for intuitive and unrestricted foot placement when soul carving across a wave face or getting creative with your foot placement when winging.

Proven construction

Maximum structural rigidity creates a sublime feel underfoot. The ultra stiff double skin carbon PVC sandwich combined with Armstrong’s reputed i-beam top to bottom dual stringers provides maximum structural rigidity and durability. Proprietary carbon fibre foil tracks are keyed directly into the stringer fibres for a fully integrated construction.

Taking what we learned from the Downwind boards initially introduced in 2023, the evolution of these boards is faster, more refined and even more stable per size for riders from rookie through advanced. Like the previous generation, these boards are also terrifically versatile and are excellent for lightwind winging and SUP surf foiling.

Seeking greater efficiency and user friendliness in the paddle popup, each size has been lengthened by 3.5-5% to improve paddling speed and increase stability. The foil tracks are now further forward as well for increased manoeuvrability and lift. When combined with subtle refinements to the rocker line and overall shape of the tail, these boards lift off the water exceptionally cleanly and easily.

Inspired by the new deck grip design on our Wing FG foilboards, the Downwind and Downwind Performance boards include a fully redesigned grip tailored specifically to provide riders with maximum control, comfort and versatility when downwinding. In conjunction with the flatter deck shape, this grip features raised central bars above the foil tracks and elevated blocks in each corner of the pad, front and back, for intuitive foot placement.

• Increased length: Greater paddling speed with improved stability and tracking for easier paddling.
• Split foredeck: Inspired by our Wing FG boards, the split anhedral foredeck shape sheds water with ease.
• Refined bow: Improved paddling efficiency and touchdown recovery and reduced swing weight for pumping and carving.
• Minimal deck recess: A flatter deck to hold more volume and shed standing water more quickly.
• New deck grip: Like on our Wing FG board range, raised deck grip arch bars and front/rear corner blocks provide intuitive foot placement references.
• Diamond V tail: All new tail shape with significantly more rocker and an extra chine to improve takeoff performance and minimise tail touchdowns when pumping and carving.
• Foil track placement: Pushed further forward for increased lift and manoeuvrability.
• Carbon foil tracks: Proprietary carbon fibre foil tracks are keyed directly into the fibres of the stringers for a fully integrated construction.
• Proven construction: Deck to bottom i-beam dual stringers provide maximum structural rigidity and durability.

• Advancing the design of the origiinal Flying V, making it a bit wider and more compact Jimmy designed the Flying V2 to be stable on the water while beeing agile and light on foil. Based on its trades the board is well suited for the SUP- and Wing Foiler.

  The proven waterplane bottom is pulled all the way back to the foil base and provides easy liftoff and touch down while maintaining stability during the launch phase. Like the Flying VM these boards re-direct the rider back up onto the foil with little drag when they touch down and give an easy and fast take off.

• Boards are made either in the JL Signature Sandwich Construction or the Carbon Sandwich Construction and are delivered including 2 Footstraps.

• 5'6" x 27"      96L
• 5'10" x 28"   110L

Ultimate efficiency in generating release from the water and control when on foil. Semi displacement chined /double concave nose allows the sink/ cork action but still maintains a long flat for aiding lift/ and frictionless touchdowns.

Narrow under waterline allows the corking take-off to come into effect but maintains balance with the area in the deck above the waterline.

In terms of lines, there’s nothing that looks this sleek, with performance to match its looks.

The Skybrid SLS is the new mid-length board from Duotone featuring a longer and narrower outline while maintaining a wider nose and tail for incredible efficiency yet sustaining exceptional stability.

Constructed in premium SLS technology and longer Carbon foil tracks for minimum weight and increased adjustability, the Skybrid SLS ensures maximum performance, allowing the earliest flight in light winds and easy take-off with smaller, more efficient foils for the intermediate to advanced Wing Foiler.

The board is designed with a single concave to flat bottom shape for early planning and take-offs. Its raised front foot deck angle provides a more playful and responsive feeling while up on the foil, enhancing your overall riding experience through maneuvers and when surfing swell. The higher nose rocker helps prevent catching on the water and ensures smooth acceleration.

Cut-outs in the tail facilitate an early release from the water, while the beveled rails make takeoffs easier and offer more clearance through turns. This board excels in performance when set up for strapless riding but also has the option of using foot straps for those seeking more control during maneuvers and high-speed runs.

Experience the perfect combination of performance and efficiency with the Skybrid SLS our freeride hybrid between Downwinder and classic Wing Foiling shapes.

The R series are offered in two larger sizes as well now, the 960R and the 1075R. They are both an incredible addition to any foiler’s quiver, set to be very well received by learners for their user-friendly nature. For the experienced rider, these bigger foils enable foiling in almost windless conditions, leveraging even minimal ocean energy for remarkable rides.

• The High Modulus R Series are made with High Modulus carbon and are of the build quality users will be familiar with from other Code Foils products.
• These wings are designed for a wide speed range and efficient pumping. They are not as manoeuvrable as some other wings, but they glide forever and still turn. We call them our “longboard foils” because of their long, stable design.
• The R Series High Modulus have an incredible low end for their size. James Casey demonstrated this by winning the M2O with a flatwater start and a challenging finish in upwind conditions. Ben Tardrew also used the 860R to battle for a win and end up on the podium in a nearly windless Hood River challenge against the best in the world.
• Please note that the R series front wings are not designed to be jumped. Jumping the R Series front wings will void warranty.
• The larger 960 and 1075 offer enhanced performance for lighter wind conditions and serve as a gateway for those learning downwind foiling and linking bumps
