DAKINE

Charger Kit Complete Foil

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Charger Kit is one of the more honest all discipline foil setups at this price. The pre-preg carbon construction is noticeably stiffer and lighter than you'd expect, and the forward draft profile adds enough forgiveness that progressing riders can build confidence without feeling like the foil is fighting them. The 1950 is where I'd start for winging or surf foiling in lighter conditions and the 1300 is fast and snappy under a kite."

There is a window in the late afternoon when the wind fills in and the water flattens out just enough to make foiling feel effortless. The Dakine Charger Kit Complete Foil is built for sessions like that, and for every other configuration of wind, swell, and discipline you throw at it. Pre-preg carbon fiber construction over an EPS core keeps the foil stiff and light without the bulk that undermines performance at speed, and the moderate anhedral angle generates reliable predictable lift across the full range of conditions these wings will encounter whether you are kiting, winging, or riding swell.

The forward draft profile is where the Charger Kit earns its reputation with progressing riders. Rather than demanding precision from the first session, it smooths out the learning curve enough to build confidence without sacrificing the performance ceiling that experienced foilers need as their riding develops. Three front wing size options let the kit adapt to the discipline and conditions at hand. The 1300 runs fast and responsive for kiteboarding where speed and snap define the session, while the 1950 generates the high lift that makes winging and surf foiling in lighter conditions feel genuinely manageable. A 70cm mast and 346cm fuselage run consistent across all three configurations, and the larger rear wing on the 1950 setup provides the additional lift support that lighter air and slower speeds demand.
