Big Waves, Tow Foiling and Foil Drive
Code Foils has expanded its high-performance X-Series lineup with the release of the Code 700X, the smallest front wing in the range to date. Designed for advanced riders chasing maximum speed, tighter turning arcs, and control in powerful conditions, the new foil targets big wave foiling, tow sessions, and high-speed Foil Drive setups.
The 700X keeps the recognizable X-Series DNA—predictable lift, smooth acceleration, and confidence at speed—but packages it into a reduced surface area platform built for riders who want less drag and more responsiveness.
Built for Speed and Control in Powerful Conditions
With a 755 mm span, 700 cm² surface area, and an aspect ratio of 8.2, the 700X sits firmly in the high-performance category. The smaller platform reduces lift compared to larger X-Series wings, but rewards experienced riders with:
- Faster roll response
- Tighter, more dynamic turns
- Greater top-end speed
- Increased control in steep, fast waves
According to Code Foils, the wing features a slightly refined foil section that maintains the stable feel of the X-Series while unlocking higher speed potential—an important factor for tow foiling and Foil Drive, where efficiency and low drag are critical.
Target Disciplines: Tow, Foil Drive, Big Surf and High-Wind Wing
The 700X is positioned as a specialist performance wing for riders operating in powered conditions:
Tow Foiling & Foil Drive
The efficient profile allows riders to hold speed with less input, making it easier to link lines and carve at pace. The smaller area also helps prevent over-lifting when being towed into larger swell.
SUP Foil Surfing in Big Waves
In larger surf, the reduced lift translates into better control on steep drops and during high-speed bottom turns, where bigger wings can feel locked in.
Wingfoiling & Parawinging in Strong Wind
Advanced riders will appreciate the ability to push higher speeds while maintaining a surf-oriented, maneuverable feel.
Performance Over Forgiveness
The 700X is not designed as an entry-level foil. Its lower lift and higher stall speed mean it rewards:
- Strong pumping technique
- Clean takeoffs
- Active footwork at speed
In return, riders gain a level of precision and carving freedom that larger front wings cannot deliver.
For performance-focused setups, especially with motor assistance from Foil Drive systems, the 700X opens the door to more aggressive lines and faster transitions between turns.
Expanding the X-Series Range
By introducing a 700 cm² option, Code Foils now covers a broader performance spectrum within the X-Series—from versatile mid-size wings to a dedicated high-speed model aimed at elite and advanced foilers.
This move reflects a broader trend in foiling: as riders push into bigger waves and faster tow environments, demand is growing for smaller, faster, high-aspect front wings that prioritize control over early lift.
Availability
The Code 700X is available now through authorized Code Foils dealers and via the brand’s official website.
For riders looking to push their limits in big surf, tow foiling, or high-speed Foil Drive sessions, the 700X positions itself as a precision tool built for maximum speed and maneuverability.
