The fiber
Performance starts with fiber
At Phantom, we see carbon as much more than just a material: it's the heart of our foils' performance.
We've made the choice to use ultra-high-modulus carbon fibers sourced from the aerospace industry, selected for their mechanical properties and their ability to deliver an exceptional balance of stiffness, strength, and weight.
Our masts, front wings, and stabilizers notably incorporate T700 and M40J fibers, used throughout their entire structure.
The mix
No compromise
Where some constructions blend different fiber grades to optimize costs, Phantom chooses to prioritize performance.
No medium- or low-modulus carbon fiber is used anywhere in the structure of our components.
This approach allows us to design foils that are stiffer, more responsive, and lighter, capable of transmitting every rider movement to the foil instantly.
The structure
Each fiber counts
Maximum stiffness for an instant response. An optimized structure to reduce weight. Materials drawn from the most demanding technologies.
CFD
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
To develop its foil profiles, Phantom partners with D3 Applied Technology, a specialist in digital simulation and hydrodynamic optimization.
Using advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools, profiles are analyzed, compared, and optimized virtually before ever touching the water.
These simulation technologies come from the world of top-tier performance, notably used in the America's Cup, where every detail of a profile can have a major impact on speed, stability, and efficiency.
Simulation
From Simulation to Real Performance.
CFD allows us to precisely study the behavior of our profiles: lift, drag, stability, cavitation, and hydrodynamic efficiency.
Every evolution is thus guided by data, then put to the test on the water.
Simulate. Test. Measure. Optimize.
At Phantom, performance is never left to chance.
Phantom — Designed to Perform.
Discover our Foil range:
The "One", the most Versatile
We engineered the best compromise in a foil to address different disciplines, wingfoiling, downwind, surf foiling, and pump foiling, without compromising on construction specifics. This foil makes riders' lives easier: one foil for your travel bag, ready to ride in every weather condition
The "Hurricane", 100% downwind
The Hurricane has nothing to prove elsewhere. 100% downwind, zero compromise: every gram, every curve, every build detail exists for one thing — getting you further, faster, and longer on the bump.
