Taaroa WING SURF FOIL SET – SWITCH
Compatible with the Tribord WNG500, the Switch offers an unparalleled gliding experience.
Featuring an innovative High Aspect design that allows unprecedented maneuverability, it is specially crafted for demanding riders.
The ideal foil to satisfy your progression desires.
Providing remarkable lift at low speed, it allows you to navigate in any weather while ensuring a smooth takeoff. Maintaining its balance in stronger winds, it offers you total control even when conditions become more demanding, all while remaining incredibly maneuverable. It combines the benefits of High Aspect for exceptional versatility.
For which level?
Thanks to its innovative design in high-tech construction, it is designed for intermediate to expert riders seeking a progressive, maneuverable, and high-performance foil.
85cm Mast
The profile of the Cabron UHM SWITCH mast has been optimized for minimum drag, measuring 14mm at the bottom of the mast. Its construction provides perfect torsional and flexural rigidity for perfect transmission between the board and the foil. It was developed in partnership with offshore racing and America’s Cup engineers. The 85cm measurement is perfect for the majority of wing freeride and freestyle riders, offering sufficient length for choppy water.
The design of the SWITCH front wings
Versatile, the wing has excellent lift thanks to a pronounced volume at the center of the wing, allowing it to be effective in a wide range of wind conditions. Pumping is excellent, and the glide is impressive. The high aspect ratio of the foil allows it to continue gliding even during changes of direction, facilitating maneuvers.
Finishing at the tips is refined, maximizing carves without the risk of stalling. Design: different layers of carbon fabric (bi and unidirectional) to optimize the stiffness, weight, and robustness of the foil. Assembly is done with Taaroa’s universal system: 3 offset M8 screws for perfect support, ensuring durability and easy assembly and disassembly.

How to Choose Your Foil? (Size in cm²)
– 800 cm²: For confirmed to expert riders weighing 70 to 85kg looking for a playful, fast, and very maneuverable wing for medium to strong wind.
– 1200 cm²: for confirmed riders weighing 65 to 95 kg. It is the most versatile wing in our range.
– 1700 cm²: for users over 85 kg. It is the most powerful wing in the range, allowing you to fly at very low speed in very light wind.
The Stabilizer
The SWITCH 230 stabilizer offers effective lift at very low speed and during pumping, further expanding the low-end navigation range. Thanks to its geometry, the SWITCH 230 releases the foil during turns, allowing for ideal positioning during maneuvers or surfing.
230 cm² Weight: 230 g (+/- 10%)
Fixation rests on a concave area of the fuselage: you can adjust the inclination to regulate the foil’s power.
Tips for the Stabilizer
In the centered position, the foil is balanced for 50/50 support under both feet. If you move the stabilizer forward, support under the front foot is reduced, and the foil will be less powerful. If you move the stabilizer backward, the foil’s power and support under the front foot are increased, which is interesting for advanced riders seeking good lift for light wind or jumps.
Fuselage 62cm
Made of tempered, machined, and anodized aluminum for maximum strength and durability. Threaded inserts (replaceable) in insulated stainless steel using insulating grease between materials to reduce the risk of corrosion. Mast/fuselage assembly is conical to never have played in your foil.
