Made with the stiffest and most resilient material available on the market, the exclusive X-Fusion Woven Dropstitch, the Ufo Pink Hero offers a unique blend of structural rigidity and portability, ensuring an uncompromising wing foiling experience, whether in your local spot or on adventurous trips.
Its optimized aerodynamic profile and redesigned hull shape facilitate a stable and early lift-off from the water, comparable to that of rigid boards, while the rapid inflation technology ensures readiness for action in just two minutes. The newly designed pad provides superior comfort during navigation, enabling the rider to focus entirely on performance without any distractions.
Moreover, the Ufo Pink Hero stands out for its versatility, effortlessly adapting to various wind and sea conditions. Whether you're a novice mastering the fundamentals or a seasoned pro seeking ultimate precision, this wing foil board delivers an exceptional flying experience. Its distinctive style, featuring meticulous details and captivating graphics, underscores a commitment to design and quality. The Ufo Pink Hero transcends being merely a performance tool; it emerges as a style icon in the realm of inflatable wing foiling.
Equipped with a new high-modulus biaxial carbon plate, the new Ufo Pink Hero integrates seamlessly with the inflatable structure, boasting additional layers of meticulously crafted PVC to bridge the performance gap between inflatable and carbon fiber boards.
For those seeking the pinnacle of performance, technology, and style in the next generation of inflatable wing foiling, the Ufo Hero stands as the unequivocal choice.
The design has undergone a comprehensive overhaul; the Ufo Pink Hero boards are now slightly narrower and elongated, featuring a rounded top to enhance glide during takeoff and achieve early detachment from the water. Additionally, the volume is evenly distributed across almost the entire surface, particularly focused in the center. This ensures significantly improved stability during the floating phase, allowing experienced riders to decrease volume without significant concerns.
The Ufo Hero has the new solid plate in high quality composite material having two slits to connect it to the foil (us box system). It is also equipped with a slit to carry it comfortably in the water.
The edges of the Ufo Pink Hero are reinforced by a further layer of PVC under the Pink one, which makes the board even more rigid and resistant to wear.
The tail of the Ufo Hero is narrower than the Ufo Zero. Experienced riders will appreciate its launch and handling qualities.
The inflation valve is located on the bottom of the board. In this way you will not damage the carbon plate during inflation. Clearly the first to do so.
Widely tested on our Sup Race boards, we have also included this edge on the Ufo Hero. It allows the board to be more efficient in detaching from the water and at the same time gives more stability during the floating phase.
The Rocker of the Ufo Hero allows you to land and bounce extremely easily from the highest jumps, but also to be efficient during the initial take-off phase, allowing the board to have a perfect gliding surface.
The material used for the Ufo Zero is the exclusive X-Fusion Woven dropstitch, a latest generation material that replaces the old Double Layer. Less weight but doubled rigidity thanks to the crossing of the internal filaments that make up the backbone of the inflatable board.
We developed a new pad, lighter with more grip and comfort.
We made a big mistake with this board:we called it inflatable instead semi rigid board. It's increadible.
it's funny to see the face of the riders when they realize that it's an inflatable board.
Roomy trolley to carry the board, the wing and the foil wherever you go.
With this pump you can inflate both the board and the wing.
All I-Ufos are equipped as standard with a set of front V-Straps + single rear strap.
The leash could not be missing, for your safety and that of others. Always use the leash, to never lose the board.
If you have arrived in this section, it means that by now the Wing foil fever has infected you! We are not only manufacturers and developers of sports equipment, but also great fans of Watersport, and we can also advise you on the correct techniques to inflate, use and deflate your new wing foil board.
Inflation.
Once your board is lying on the ground, open the inflation valve cap and check that the small valve nozzle is in the "high" position, and therefore it can let in air but cannot let it out. If it is in the "low" position, rotate it slightly to make it snap up. Now take the Reptile Double Action pump, screw the hose onto the coupling with the word OUT and insert the other end into the inflation valve of the board, turning the coupling clockwise to lock the hose. Inflate the board to a pressure of 15/18 PSI. Tip: To speed up the inflation operation, close the small red (or black) valve on the pump. In this way you will pump the air inside the board both outward and in return. When you begin to feel fatigue and the board is 80% inflated, open the small valve of the pump to use it in a classic way and complete the inflation.
Disconnect the pump from the board (if you have done everything right the air will not come out!) and close the valve.
N.B. On the opposite side of the valve you will notice a slight swelling, a "bubble" which has been specially marked with the "OPPOSITE VALVE BUBBLE" graphic sticker. This swelling is completely normal as in this small circular portion the filaments that make up the inside of the board structure have been interrupted to position the inflation valve.
How to mount the foil.
To hook the foil to the board, first of all you need to insert the small blind nuts supplied inside the two carbon slots on the composite plate, placing them at the ends of the slots. Now lay the base plate of the foil on the composite plate of the board and, with the help of the Allen key supplied, bring the nuts near the base of the foil and screw.
LEASH and GO!
The leash is your lifesaver, wearing it you will never lose the board in case something unexpected happens. Fasten it below the knee, and the other end to the special steel ring placed on the back of the board.
You are ready to go, start kneeling, in the center of the board, and as soon as you get some confidence, get up. Don't be rigid, falls into the water don't hurt! Good fun!
How to deflate the board.
After a wonderful day of Wing, it's time to deflate the board. Unscrew the safety cap of the valve, press firmly a finger on the valve nozzle and you will feel the air coming out with force. Rotate the nozzle slightly to lock it in the "low" position. The air will come out, while you, after removing the foil, fold the board in two. In 1 minute, you will complete the operation and you will have placed the I-Ufo in the functional Trolley. When you look up, satisfied, you will see your neighbor still tying his hard board to the roof of his car ... Life is better with Reptile!
An Inflatable Wing foil Board is very durable. Compared to a rigid board, it resists very violent impacts. But it is not indestructible. To try to make it last as long as possible and, in the first place, to make your session safe, it needs a minimum of care and attention.
- Absolutely avoid sharp surfaces, so watch out for rocky bottoms or mussels.
- Do not leave the board exposed to the sun for a long time when not in use. UV rays deteriorate any plastic material, causing the PVC to lose its elastic properties. Furthermore, the temperature greatly increases the air pressure inside the table with the danger of permanent deformation or breakage. If possible, store it in the shade. It is a one-minute operation that gives years of life to your board.
- If you do not deflate the board after each use, decrease the pressure to about 10 PSI. It will take a few strokes of the pump next time to bring it back to 15/18 PSI. In this way the life of the table will lengthen a lot.
What damage does the warranty cover?
Each Reptile Sports product is subjected to rigorous quality controls during every single production phase. Each item is weighed and measured to ensure that the technical characteristics comply with the specifications. Non-compliant items 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 an item is faulty (and this can happen), it breaks after a few exits. Breakages occurred after months of use, are hardly attributable to defects in material or production, but rather to impacts or stress following poorly executed maneuvers, impact with the seabed, whirled in the waves and finally inexperience. 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 parts in question to understand if the nature of the break occurred due to construction problems, wear or inexperience.
