Wing foil Reptile R-foil Classic
Thanks to its generous and "low aspect" front wing, with a curved downward shape, the R-Foil Classic will rise at very low speeds, in a constant way without acceleration and changes of direction. It will never anticipate your movements, it will wait for you, it will allow you to become familiar with flying without frightening you. You will immediately understand the slow and smooth way to fly, and you can really enjoy flying at low speeds and closing your first jibes and turns. The R-Foil Classic will adapt perfectly to the needs of the beginner, remaining incredibly in flight, even under the most uncertain feet and movements. There is nothing better to learn Wing foil in total control, safety and simplicity.
The R-Foil Classic program includes two foils in the “Low aspect” category designed exclusively for downwind / wave Sup, surfing, kite and Wing. The very curved shape of the front wing gives the foil a lot of stability during flight, and above all a moderate / slow response to stress and maneuver changes, making it optimal in the learning and perfecting phase of flight.
The Reptile R-Foil Classic 2200 has a wide and thick front wing, for outstanding lift. Once in the air, it will be very difficult to land it! With the R-Foil 2200 you can progress quickly, it will gently accompany all your maneuvers and changes of direction, absorbing all kinds of errors in flight.
The arched shape of the front wing also prevents the two tips from escaping from the water, thus avoiding the rider's stall and relative catapult. In fact, the beginner still has to acquire the sensitivity to keep the foil immersed at a certain depth. With the R-Foil Classic all this is very simple.
Optimal for wing foiling with winds between 8 and 20 knots, it is also perfect for foil surf / sup / wake.
The Reptile R-Foil Classic 1100 is instead intended for the entry level foil kite. Its best range is from 5 to 10 knots of wind.

The R-Foil Classic is made up of aluminum elements and carbon fiber elements.
The base plate, the mast and the fuselage are made of solid anodized aluminum which offer an unbeatable value for money.
The wings are instead made with an efficient mix of glass and carbon fibers, laminated and pressed at high pressure and temperature. Inside the wings there is a PVC core, which, combined with the glass and carbon fibers, gives the R-Foil High total rigidity.
The ends of the wings are rounded in order to minimize damage in the event of an accidental impact against the wing or feet. We wanted to put safety first. With the R-Foil High you will absolutely not be able to cut yourself.

WHY REPTILE?
We have twenty years of experience in the design and development of windsurf masts and accessories. We live, breathe, exude R&D and carbon fiber, we have celebrated countless world cup victories thanks to the performance but also the reliability of our products. Now the company is 70% oriented on wingfoil design, that's why #ridereptile and #flyreptile.
The R-Foil Classic is complete with every accessory to be able to go immediately in the water.
First connect the Mast to the Base Plate using 2 x M8x30 screws, using the nr.5 Allen key included in the package.
Now screw the front wing with nr. 3 M8 screws and the stabilizer with nr. 2 M6 screws to the aluminum fuselage.
Finally connect and screw the fuselage to the free Mast end with the nr. 2 screws M8x30.
In the package you will also find nr. 4 screws M8 x 30 and nr. 4 brass nuts (T-NUT) to connect the foil to the board.
NB: check that the length of these screws is correct for your board model. If they are too long, they could damage the board. Not suitable for inflatable boards, which have their own fixing screws.
All the contact parts of the foil and the screws must be periodically disassembled and rinsed with fresh water. The salt can cause corrosion of the aluminum parts in contact with the carbon and steel of the screws.
We recommend using marine gels or grease to protect these parts from corrosion.
What damage does the warranty cover?
Each Reptile Sports product is subjected to rigorous quality controls during every single production phase. Each product is carefully checked to ensure that the technical characteristics comply with the specifications. Non-compliant products are NOT placed on the market but destroyed.
The warranty covers manufacturing defects and / or material defects with a duration of twenty-four months (24) from the date of purchase, in the case of sale to the direct user.
This date must be proven by a delivery document issued by the seller (e.g. receipt), in which the following appear: the delivery date, the name of the seller, the identification details of the same (type, model).
Main defects in materials and workmanship
The defects of the materials, and in particular of the carbon composites, are normally highlighted in the initial use phase. If a product is faulty (and this can happen), it breaks down after a few exits. Breakages occurred after months of use, are hardly attributable to defects in material or production, but rather to shocks or stress following poorly executed maneuvers, impact with the seabed, whirled in the waves. This does not mean that the guarantee is not recognized, but that it may be necessary for us to carry out a greater analysis of the damaged parts to understand if the nature of the break occurred due to a defect or inexperience.
- What size of Foil to choose?
Leaving aside all the beach talk, there are three elements to consider for choosing the correct size of your Foil: your weight, the intensity of the wind and your technical level.
-Is the Foil dangerous?
As in all sports, there is also a chance of getting injured in wing foil. To minimize this risk, we recommend protecting your head with a helmet and your body with an impact jacket.
-Which foil do I choose, the R-Foil Classic or R-Foil High?
For a beginner with no major windsurfing or kite foil experience, we recommend going on the R-Foil Classic. Its main feature is that it never anticipates the rider's movements, which results in greater control. It will never catch you unprepared, its every movement is intuitive and slow. Perfect for those who need to learn
For the more agile and with a good experience in windsurfing and / or athletic training, they recommend starting with the High. Faster in its movements, it accelerates and is responsive, much faster than its Classic cousin.
