Patrik CHASE DW-X 2026

La Patrik CHASE DW X est une planche de downwind SUP foil (et wingfoil en option) développée par Thomas Goyard et Patrik Diethelm, deux références du foil moderne. C’est une planche conçue pour décoller très facilement, glisser longtemps et rester polyvalente dans toutes les conditions.
Ce que c’est, en une phrase
Une planche de downwind crossover, pensée pour le SUP foil, le downwind, et aussi le wingfoil sur certaines tailles, avec un shape moderne qui facilite le décollage même dans le clapot.
À quoi sert la DW X ?
• Downwind SUP foil : son domaine principal.
• SUP foil freeride : très stable, facile à lancer.
• Wingfoil : possible sur les tailles 77 à 111 L grâce aux inserts de straps avant.
• Pumping / free fly : arrière libre (pas de strap) pour un meilleur contrôle.
Caractéristiques importantes
• Décollage ultra facile : carène réduite + mini bevels pour accélérer vite.
• Stabilité élevée : largeur optimisée pour pagayer fort même dans le clapot.
• Kick tail + cutout : facilite le pumping et évite que la planche colle à l’eau.
• Deck rabaissé : meilleur angle de rame et de décollage.
• Construction solide et légère : pensée pour durer sans être trop chère.
• Tailles de 77 à 144 L pour s’adapter à tous les gabarits et niveaux.
Pour qui ?
• Riders qui veulent commencer le downwind sans galérer au décollage.
• Riders intermédiaires/avancés cherchant une planche polyvalente (SUP foil + wingfoil).
• Ceux qui veulent une planche réactive mais stable, utilisable dans toutes les conditions (eau plate, houle, vent de travers…).
En résumé
La Patrik CHASE DW X est une des planches de downwind les plus polyvalentes du marché : facile, rapide, stable, et utilisable aussi en wingfoil. Elle a été conçue pour offrir un décollage simple dans toutes les conditions, ce qui en fait un excellent choix pour progresser ou se lancer dans le downwind.


Racing DW boards, from 8’2 to 9’6 feet, generally quite narrow
Freeride/Crossover DW boards from 7’4 to 8’2, from 19 to 23 inches in width
the biggest sizes of mid lenght wing boards, from 90 L and above
Our DW-X boards are Downwind Crossover SUP foil boards.
They are designed to propose the best compromise between carving, efficiency at take-off, pumping and speed.
Thanks to the front straps inserts from 77 to 111 l, you can also enjoy wingfoiling and downwind winging with the Vee front straps.
We decided to skip the back strap inserts to allow you to place your backfoot freely on the deck when pumping in free-fly which provides better comfort and accuracy in pitch.

TAKE OFF
Any downwinders dream is to take off with minimum effort. Being comfortable cruising, daring new runs, falling and taking off again will revolutionise your personal DW experience. The main priority for this new generation of downwind boards was to create shapes that allow you to take off in any situation, whether it’s flat, choppy, with swell or cross wind - So you can enjoy your runs without stress and discomfort and just enjoy the moment.
‌ REDUCED PLANING SURFACE
Reduced hull surface with sharp mini bevels enhance the acceleration. This innovative design offers a great hull stability while balancing plus an effortless planing during take off. Direction changes during take offs on a wave feel intuitive on this shape.

‌ SMART WIDTH
Wide enough to be comfortable in rough seas or if you are a DW beginner. For the more advanced rider, the specific hull design and shape features of this board will still provide ultra low drag to take off on small and fast foils. Being stable on the board allows you to paddle extremely hard and powerful even when small roll mistakes happen accidentially.

‌ CUTOUT KICK TAIL
Kick tail to optimise the tail water release while pumping hard on the take off as a catching tail would slow you down and push the board nose downwards. The 90 degree mini tail cutout makes the water rip off the hull surface and reduces the drag of the board futher.

‌ RAKED DECK RECESS
Deck recess with a unique progressive rake provides an optimised angle for take off which varies once you reposition your feet from take off stance to riding and carving.

‌ DECK FOOT LOCK
Thanks to the deck recess shape your front foot will be locked just behind the front bump making it impossible to slip foward. As a consequence, you can transfer your energy to the board and foil with more efficiency.

‌ VEE-DECK TAIL SHAPE
The board can breach the water surface better when you push the tail into the water during extreme paddling and pumping. As the water flows off easily you don't lose energy by your tail getting "stuck" in the water.
‌ BOTTOM MINI CHANNELS
One of the issues you face as a beginner is positioning your board in the correct angle while paddling max power during take off. The mini channels improve the board tracking in the early take off phase significantly without locking the board in too much before you start the flight.

‌ FOIL TRACKS RECESS
Significant reduction of drag during take off when your mast is being positioned to the front of the foil tracks as it make the water "jump" and flow over the base plate of your mast. Much softer touch downs with reduced drag. The board will slow down less helping you to keep your balance when your board hits the water surface in sharp turns, on bigger waves or simply when things get a bit hectic at high speeds.

‌ PROGRESSIVE ROCKER LINES
Tense rocker line with the perfect balance of accelleration and carving. More rocker on the small sizes for more advanced riders and extreme conditions. A more relaxed rocker on the big sizes for even earlier flight.
