HP Wing Foil 6’0″
V5.4
New for 2025! (6’0” @80L)
A new era of board design from Stinger.
Stemming from the DW line, these are for Wing Foiler’s that ride a High Aspect Foil.
If you can make most of your jibes and / or ride a High Aspect Foil, this is the next Wing Foil Board you should own.
Shorter and slightly wider than our Stealth DW, the HP 6’0” @ 80L will take your riding to the next level.
All HP’s come with 16” Foil Box tracks, Coffin Board Bag & Leash.
Overview
The traditional foil board shapes are great for starting out, but this new shape is a total game changer. The future is hear, time to carve it up.
CEO & shaper Steve Legge created the HP 6’0” @ 80L Foil Board for the rider that weighs 175lbs or less with his team and a Hydrodynamics engineer.
The Stealth shape features a longer & narrower outline that has a shallow spoon hull for stability with an ideal amount of rocker up front . This hull shape transitions to a flat bottom from the mid point of the board to the tail creating substantial glide and acceleration. The square sidewalls for 2025 help aid in stability before flight.
The Stealth series has an innovative volume distribution and softened rail design from the mid point forward so you don’t hook up or get stuck when trying to get up on foil. The rails firm up through to the tail so the water can flush out the back for increased acceleration and speed.
Key note : (for 2025 the wider tail and square rails aid in greater stability, and when touching down on the backside of a wave the HP tail glides off instead of knifing in.)
The 6’0” Stinger HP has proven its design with an incredibly easy and fast lift off and high performance maneuverability. Tested and refined in Hood River and La Ventana.
Performance
Although the HP 6’0” is longer than most traditional shaped foil boards at 80L, don’t let that fool you into the swing weight argument. Our team testing has shown that width of a board creates more swing weight and more of a slowed down feeling than the length! The length of these new boards is also minimized due to the foil mounting tracks that are a minimum of twelve inches further forward than traditional foil boards. The result is a longer board that actually feels much shorter when riding. This forward box position reduces much of the incurred centreline swing weight while riding. As for the outline, the “superman” shaped tail and narrow back foot area allow for more angle to be generated while carving turns and creates an amazing “High Performance” feel.
This new design has also allowed for increased volume compared to traditional board shapes. This translates into quick easy take offs while winging. This extra volume also makes it easy for Wind Wingers to prone paddle or “sail off foil” to a wind line that is further out than the beach or get in safely when the wind shuts down.( these boards paddle amazingly easy and fast and give lots of float while standing with a wind wing off foil.). The Stinger Stealth 6’0” HP 80L board is truly on the leading edge of modern foil boards today!
Construction
All of the Stealth Series boards are “Hand Crafted” with 3K Carbon & S-Glass, making boards that are lighter, more durable, and consistent. As a result, you get more acceleration speed , glide, and riding performance. This construction also ensures the Stinger Boards will have a superior longevity over the test of time.
