Incredibly early take-off
The long and narrow design allows the board to generate speed and take-off incredibly early and with minimal effort with either paddle or wing.

Quick rebound
Designed for long downwinders, the nose was designed to enable quick rebounds in case of touchdown.

WALTZ FAQs

Show all

What is the ENSIS WALTZ?

The ENSIS WALTZ is a downwind and light-wind foil board designed for wing foiling and parawing foiling in light wind, downwinding, small-wave play, and SUP foiling.

Who is the WALTZ for?

Thanks to its long and narrow shape, it is suitable for ambitious beginners in the various disciplines all the way up to expert riders.

Why does the WALTZ lift off so early?

The long and narrow design provides an optimal waterline length. This allows the board to glide very efficiently and build speed quickly. You lift off early and with minimal effort.

Is the WALTZ stable?

Yes. The outline and the high, steep rails provide a high level of stability on the water and during take-off. This gives confidence, even on longer downwind sessions. However, compared to a compact board (e.g. ROCK’N’ROLL) or a midlength board (e.g. JIVE), it is more prone to tipping.

Is it good for lightwind wingfoiling?

Yes. The narrow shape reduces drag and enables early take-off. Perfect for wing sessions in light wind.
