OUR MISSION ?

Making the most RELIABLE, DURABLE, and HIGH PERFORMANCE hydrofoils on the market.

As a company, we also deeply commit ourselves to being the leaders in reducing ecological impact on the planet by drastically reducing our carbon footprint.

When you ride with ONIX, you're actively contributing to the real evolution of watersports alongside us, creating a tangible impact.

Our sustainable commitment

We use 3D printing and Paulownia wood for the core of our Osprey set and tail wings using a bio-sourced filament. Our front wing molds are made with only 3 kgs of biosourced plastic while these molds are usually made of 100 kgs of Aluminium.

We engage ourselves to reduce overwastage of material, time and units.

Indeed, we store the minimum amount of gear to stay reactive to orders and offer every rider the opportunity to recondition products.

Our process of creation

A good product starts with a good design scope. We create our foils to answer specific needs and practices identified from the riders. Tarifa truly is an amazing play ground to experience user’s goals and define clear objectives. Once we’ve defined the main characteristic for a new front wing model, we perform fluid analysis on dedicated website - XFLR5 and OpenFoam to get very precise results matching reality in a surprisingly accurate way. After a few iterations on the shape - 3D outlines and profile repartition - we are ready to make a first sample.

Our production process is unique and happens in Tarifa in the room next to the office where we design the parts and 200m from the sea.

Our production is performed threw wet lamination with an extremely well determined lay-up including high quality carbon and glass fibers from Germany

as well as top epoxy resin from France.

Depending on the sizes of the models, we build the front wing cores ourselves out of Paulonia wood

or bio-sourced 3D filament.

This ensure extremely reactive on demand production rate, as well as stronger foils from the inside. Our foils are made not to break under any riders feet and top athletes are getting hard time trying to do so.

The post lamination process is performed by our designer himself, ensuring extreme surface finish quality with a wet sanding until 2000 grid. Attention is put on the quality of the leading and trailing edges, with fine tuned sanding direction. That way each foil is been quality checked by the man behind the 3D design, and that’s why we say they are made by riders 4 riders.

PS: We offer our customers to come to make their foils with us sharing our technic. If you are curious about how foils are made at Onix, get in touch with us to get more information.

ONIX HYDROFOIL RANGE

PRODUCT PRESENTATION

PROFILE SECTIONS

The moderately thick profile section with its rounded leading edge becomes thinner at the tips offering speed, control, stability and stall-resistance.

Distances between front wing - mast and mast tail wing have been studied very carefully to give the best sensations in the water.

Every model/size comes with a specific tail wing model/size that balances the set up perfectly without any needed adjustment.

OUR MASTS

Our masts are produced by Sab foil in Italy. They are extremely stiff and hydrodynamic, while the Kraken system ensure quick and strong mount onto your board.

FRONT OUTLINE

The curved centre with wider chord offers aggressive pop for jumping and the reflexed horizontal tips are neutral when getting some air on hard carves.

ASPECT RATIO

The lower aspect ratio provides stable and controllable lift with rock-solid stability.

The sweeping leading edge lets the wing carve and react smoothly.

TOP OUTLINE

The control you have over these wings makes you carve harder and with more control from the first wave you pick. The wing recovers effortlessly when breaching and landings are smooth and easy, so you’ll be popping back up in flight mode right away.

MAST

CARBON: Our carbon masts are made by Sab Foil in Italy. They are available in the same sizes and models than the ones proposed on Sab Foil website. The profile of this carbon mast has been optimized to have the maximum transversality between different disciplines. With this mast, you will be able to practice Wing-Foil, Surf-Foil, Kite-Foil and Wind-Foil at maximum performance. Design, selected materials and their use make this mast robust and performing, ideal for both speed and freestyle. The Kraken Modular System makes the mast compatible with all fuselages belonging to the same ONIX / SABFOIL range and allows you to choose the connection system to the board between Plate or Tuttle. Possibility to upgrade your mast with the Quick Release System (Q01K), patented by SABFOIL. Material: Full Carbon Available sizes: 73cm / 83cm / 93cm

ALUMINIUM: Our Aluminium mast is featuring an optimized profile section with a robust connection to the top plate and to the fuselages thanks to 2 M8 screws. The top plate is coming with opened chamfers to make it easy to attach to the board without having to dismount the T-nuts. It is attached to the fuselage together with an elegant shim system that keeps the whole connection area stiff and hydrodynamic. If you decide to switch to our carbon mast you can simply remove the shim and keep the same fuselage. Material: Aluminium 6061 T6 Available sizes: 70cm / 80cm / 90cm

FUSELAGE

We currently offer 2 different models of fuselages and only different from each others regarding the design of the mast box. One model is fitting directly with GONG V2 masts, while the other offers direct compatibility with the complete range of ONIX Aluminium masts and ONIX / SAB FOIL carbon masts. Both of them have extra holes positioned to adapt to other brands - please contact us for more information regarding adaptation of your current mast to our fuselages. The fuselage connects with the front wing threw 3 solid M8 inserts, and a fourth hole is used to locate a zinc anode that ensure good durability and easily removable when needed. This way we ensure a very solid connection to your foil and your mast to create a very robust and direct feeling to the rider. You can fine tune your tail angle without shims thanks to the curve on the tail, and several M6 inserts offer the possibility to use tails from other brands on our fuselages. Length: 71cm - 61cm and 66cm available on demand Material: Aluminium 6061 T6
