What I love most about the new PPC M1-X is how well it flags when surfing waves. It never flips or gets in the way, even in a straight onshore wind like in this clip… Not only that, it improves upon every aspect of the original M1 – it’s lighter, more powerful and looks even cooler!

Wing foiling with a 9L PPC BOARD
Matthew McIntosh (instagram: @thefoilingfox) has been working his way down in board sizes, with this 9-litre PPC UFO board being his latest effort. He says it gives him greater freedom while in flight, helps him get more air and cover more distance with his jumps, is simpler to travel with, and feels more playful. This is also the same board he dock-starts with!

PPC board shim
The PPC board shim is designed to lift the angle of attack on your board in relation to the foil optimising your foiling experience.
This shim will avoid you crashing at high speed while winging as your board won’t catch as much water on touch downs.
You will get a little more front foot pressure while foiling, which assists in board control as speed & through turns.
Some brands of foils on the market ride very nose down, meaning you’ll find you get a sore back leg. The PPC board shim will balance out your set up meaning even pressure through both feet.
The PPC board shim has a patent its unique design & name.
