One Board, Endless Possibilities: The Versatile Hover Ascend

CUDesigned for Precision and Control

Foiling demands balance and adaptability, and the Hover Ascend delivers. With its reduced swing weight, the board responds instantly to the rider’s input, making high-speed turns and quick adjustments feel natural. This low-mass design reduces unnecessary drag, meaning you can maintain effortless control whether carving through waves or pumping between swells.

Beyond just weight reduction, the inner bevel and increased waterline work in tandem to create seamless takeoffs and controlled landings. Riders will notice smoother transitions, better acceleration, and a more forgiving platform when adjusting stance mid-ride.

Engineered for Every Rider

Whether you’re a lightweight flyer or a heavier rider, this board distributes volume where it counts, ensuring stability at low speeds and agility when foiling at pace. The thoughtful design also means riders transitioning between foiling disciplines — whether prone, wing, or SUP foiling — can adapt quickly without feeling like they’re on an entirely new setup.

The board’s versatility extends beyond just rider skill levels — it thrives in varied conditions. From light wind cruising to navigating small waves and downwinders, the Hover Ascend’s shape ensures you can make the most of whatever the ocean throws your way.

Built to Endure, Designed to Perform

Construction matters, especially when you’re pushing limits. The Hover Ascend is made using Carbon Ultra (CU) construction, a high-strength, impact-resistant build that maintains lightweight performance without sacrificing durability. Whether you’re launching from rocky shorelines or taking an unexpected tumble, this board is designed to withstand the elements.

The full PVC carbon/biax glass construction reinforces the core structure, offering a combination of flex and strength that’s ideal for high-performance foiling. Riders who like to push their gear to the edge — whether in extreme conditions or demanding sessions — will appreciate the longevity and consistency this construction provides.

Efficiency, Speed, and Progression

The Hover Ascend isn’t just about getting on foil — it’s about staying there. Every aspect of its design contributes to efficiency, from the increased waterline that enhances glide to the well-balanced shape that reduces energy output when pumping. For riders looking to progress from beginner to intermediate levels, this board forgives mistakes and rewards correct technique, making learning both exciting and accessible.

For those already comfortable with foiling, the responsive feedback and smooth speed retention make it an ideal board for unlocking next-level skills — whether it’s perfecting turns, mastering downwind glides, or dialing in precise maneuvers.
