The AK Compact Wingboard v2

The AK Compact Wingboard v2

Posted by Christopher Burke on

The Compact wingboard has been fully optimised for wingboarding, with its highly concentrated volume, and low swing weight.
Perfect for intermediate to advanced wing riders in lighter conditions, the stable platform and centralised volume create a board that is easy to throw around when jumping and doing progressive manoeuvres. The high apex rail maintains the feel of a narrow board, with stability provided by the additional width when not planing.
You’ll find the complete Compact dimensions, weights, and user guide at the bottom of the post, but first, we break down the basics:

Compact Strap & Insert Positions

The Compact Wingboards feature reinforced footstrap inserts with a number of forwards or backwards positions, with a 2.5cm (1”) spacing. This enables the rider to be further forwards or backwards on the board, relative to their preferred stance width and foil position.

The front strap has the option of being mounted over the center line of the board, or with a double or single strap at a 45-degree angle. The rear strap can be mounted over the center line of the board, or offset to the left or right. This insert pattern allows for left or right foot forward riding off to one side of the deck or a single strap angled slightly over the center line.

The US Box foil mount on the bottom deck allows for quick and easy assembly and micro trim adjustment. These inserts are compatible with any standard 9 x 16.5cm foil plate system and are connected through to the deck of the board with high density inserts.

Kitting: The Compact is shipped standard with 1 x single Ether footstrap, and 1 x Ether V footstrap.

 

 

Recommended Footstrap Screws: M6 self-tapping screws, 22 – 28mm long, depending on the thickness of your straps.
