Foil Board

Born from my love for the ocean, innovative technology, and the natural power of wind and water, this foilboard project merges performance design with engineering precision. I set out to create a custom foilboard that responds intuitively to a rider’s unique style — lightweight, efficient, and tailored through data-driven design.

At the heart of the project is a parametric algorithm I developed, which generates optimised board geometries based on the rider’s weight, ability, and preferred riding conditions. This allows for highly customised shaping of the EPS foam core, balancing volume distribution, planform geometry, and stability. The board is reinforced using a combination of wet-layup and carbon fibre vacuum infusion techniques — delivering high strength-to-weight performance while maintaining clean, minimal aesthetics.

This project has allowed me to explore the intersection of hydrodynamics, composites, and user-specific design. Every step — from CAD and shaping to infusion and final finishing — was handled by me, blending my hands-on approach with advanced digital tools. The result is a foilboard that not only rides beautifully, but represents my belief in harnessing natural forces through innovative, sustainable design.
