JIVE
Wing Freeride | Race | Lightwind | Parawing
Early & efficient lift, agile, mid-length
The JIVE is a versatile mid-length foil board inspired by our WALTZ and ROCK’N’ROLL. Its well-balanced design places extra board length behind the foil box, reducing swing weight for a compact feel while still benefiting from increased waterline length. The pin tail and sharp rails ensure quick water release for fast take-off, while the front section of the deck is recessed, ensuring the entire standing area aligns parallel with the foil for agile and intuitive riding. With its early lift and well-balanced shape, the JIVE is ideal for parawinging and wingfoiling. Whether freeriding, racing, or maximizing light wind conditions, it delivers a controlled and responsive foiling experience. The smallest 46l model is optimized for surf foiling, making paddling into waves easy and take-offs effortless. Designed for intermediate to expert riders.

Performance Features
For intermediates to experts
The mid-length design is narrower than traditional boards, making it best suited for intermediate riders.
Early & efficient lift
The long, narrow shape generates speed effortlessly, allowing you to get on the foil with minimal effort. Compared to traditional board shapes, the JIVE enables you to use a smaller wing or foil in the same wind conditions.
Great stability
The JIVE has excellent stability in the water thanks to its well-balanced volume distribution. With volume concentrated in the center, it keeps you steady, while the tucked-in rails let the board sit deeper in the water, increasing stability when off the foil.
Agile
The JIVE feels quick and intuitive underfoot, thanks to its well-balanced design. The foil box is positioned further forward, while the extra board length is added behind the foil. This minimizes swing weight, making turns snappy and precise.
Responsiveness and control
The front deck section of the board is recessed and designed to be parallel with the foil tracks. This lowers your center of gravity, improving control, balance, and provides a more direct and intuitive foiling experience.
Radical carving
The JIVE’s spacious deck extends all the way to the rails, giving you plenty of room to position your feet for maximum control. This allows for precise foot placement, enabling smooth, powerful carves and radical turns.
Lightwind wing foil
Minimal drag and excellent planing make it easy to build speed and take off, even in marginal conditions, allowing you to get the most out of light wind sessions.
Quick rebound
The diamond-shaped nose and rocker help recover quickly from touchdowns, keeping you on the foil during downwinders and wingfoil sessions.
Racing wing foil
The pintail design makes it easy to pump and generate speed, allowing you to ride a smaller foil.
Wave & Prone
The JIVE 46L is tuned for surf foiling, featuring a wider tail and rounder rails in the front for easy paddling and smooth take-offs and touch downs. It pairs perfectly with foil assist setups.
