Glide Swift ALU is an affordable, high‑performance foil set that combines proven solutions from the Glide Swift Carbon series with the versatility of the Glide Surf HP. The combination of aluminium mast and fuselage with carbon Glide Swift Carbon front and back wings yields a set that competes with full‑carbon foils while offering a better price‑to‑performance ratio — ideal for riders seeking quality without compromise.
Construction and ride feel
The carbon front wing features an innovative inflected leading edge, outer high‑aspect sections and a moderate center sweep. This shaping delivers early lift, excellent glide, high top‑end speed and intuitive, stable turns — easy for beginners and rewarding for advanced riders. The set performs well both during relaxed cruising and when executing maneuvers.
Rear wing and set tuning
The rear stabilizer has a swept profile with turned‑up wingtips, providing an optimal balance of speed, stability and maneuverability. As a result, the rear wing is very responsive yet forgiving, making control easier during dynamic maneuvers. Carbon‑based models also use slimmer profiling to reduce drag.
Variable aspect ratios and performance
In the Glide Swift range the aspect ratio varies by size — from about 9.1 in the smallest 600 cm² wing to 7.3 in the largest 1450 cm² wing — allowing glide to be maximized for each size while retaining ease of turning and control. This ensures each size is optimized for its intended use.
Technical elements and safety
The ALU set pairs super‑stiff carbon wings with aluminium mast and fuselage, delivering direct steering feedback and high stability. The integrated, blended mast‑fuselage connection reduces drag and increases stiffness, while low‑drag, turned‑up rounded wingtips lower resistance and reduce injury risk. The whole system is designed for early take‑off even at low speeds, increasing comfort and safety on the water.
Who it’s for and available sizes
GLIDE SWIFT ALU is a versatile choice for a wide range of users — from beginners to progressing riders and those seeking high performance without investing in a full‑carbon set. Full sets are available in sizes 8 / 10 / 12 / 14; size 6 is offered front‑only. Check the size chart and product specifications before purchase.

Specific References
GLIDE wings are made of pre-preg carbon layup with inner foam construction for maximum durability to weight ratio. This setup creates a natural tendency to roll into turns maintaining a nice balance during your ride.
Through the sophistically developed design of the front wing, the Glide Foil HP range reaches an incredible top speed and maintains great maneuverability. On the wave, the Glide Surf allows you to fly through the sections and progress from straight riding to progressive foil-turns.
CNC reinforced base construction.
Two deep titanium vertical tube connections to the mast for maximum strength, eliminating movement and offering perfect load transfer. Avoids vibration around the upper attachment area.
Choose your base system depending on your sport.
The entire system is fully modular: Every front and back wing is compatible with all available fuselages, including legacy models. Wether you're riding a high-end carbon setup or the proven aluminum version, the new components seamlessly integrate to elevate your gear, delivering a performance upgrade that feels like a completely new foil.
