CODE FOILS - X Series Front Wing Range

Code Foils 810X | The Perfect Fusion of Surf and Foil

The long-awaited X Series from Code Foils has arrived, and the 810X is already making waves. Designed as the first release in this new lineup, the 810X isn’t just another addition to the Code range—it represents a shift in how foilers approach performance, control, and radical maneuvering.
But what exactly is the 810X good for, and who should be riding it? Let’s break it down.

Built for Radical Maneuvers and Control

At its core, the 810X is all about radical turns, sharp maneuvers, and uncompromised control at speed. Intermediate to advanced riders will immediately notice how it excels in the pocket of the wave. Whether it’s a critical jibe, a tight tack, or a snap under pressure, this foil thrives in situations where precision is everything.

Unlike higher-aspect foils that tend to prioritize glide and efficiency, the 810X sits in the mid-aspect category, offering a perfect balance between stability and freedom to roll.

It doesn’t load up with uncomfortable front-foot pressure, and as speed increases, the foil stays composed instead of bucking you off. This creates a neutral, reliable feel that allows riders to push harder without fear of overcooking the foil.

Designed for the New Era of Foiling

The progression of foiling has demanded equipment that can keep up with more critical, radical riding styles. With freestyle jumps, tip-out turns, and whitewater hits becoming standard, riders needed gear that could match that intensity.

• A unique foil section that won’t max out at speed.
• Lower aspect ratio for earlier lift and better landings.
• Breaching tips that re-enter cleanly.
• Enhanced maneuverability for rapid transitions.

This means the 810X isn’t about endless glide—it’s about dynamic control when it counts.

Foil Drive Performance

For Foil Drive riders, the 810X has been a standout performer. Where smaller wings like the 720S or 850S once struggled—either by being hard to get up on or by maxing out too quickly—the 810X fills the gap perfectly.

• Easier Takeoff: Thanks to its extra surface area, it lifts earlier and more reliably.
• Confidence at Speed: Once up on a wave, it avoids the overpowering “max-out” feeling.
• Radical Turning: Even with assist from a Foil Drive, the foil maintains the sharp, surf-like performance riders crave.

It’s a true crossover foil, letting riders eFoil into waves and then surf them with confidence.

Range Across Conditions

One of the most impressive features of the 810X is its versatility across wave sizes and wind conditions. Riders around 80–85kg (175–185 lbs) report using it in everything from 1-foot rollers to 10-foot peaks, and it continues to deliver.

• Small Waves: Provides early lift and playful maneuverability.
• Big Peaks: Holds in steep, powerful faces without losing control.
• Challenging Conditions: Handles turbulence, gusts, and whitewater without becoming unstable.

The foil is not a pumping machine compared to some other wings in the Code lineup, but it more than makes up for it with hold and control when things get critical.

Winging and Downwind Fun

For wing foiling, the 810X blurs the line between surf and foil. Many riders find themselves matching their foil size to wave size rather than just wind strength, and the 810X makes that possible.

• Lighter Winds (10–15 knots): Gets up early without demanding a massive wing.
• On the Wave: Matches the speed of the swell without overpowering, making it easier to ride naturally.
• Downwind Runs: Its mid-aspect design gives a lively, maneuverable feel that makes carving downwind bumps an absolute joy.

In short, whether you’re cruising short laps, charging long downwinders, or smacking turns in waist- to overhead-high surf, the 810X is a wing that invites you to ride harder and with more confidence.

How Does the 810X Compare?

Within the Code Foils range, the 720S, 850S, and now the 810X are often considered together. Each has its strengths, but the 810X fills a very specific gap:

• 720S: Ultra-radical, fast, and snappy. Great for advanced riders in clean surf and smaller conditions. Its limitation comes with getting up early and managing hold in big, powerful waves.
• 850S: More surface area for lift, making it easier to get up in light wind or on smaller bumps. However, it can feel maxed out or locked up once you’re up on bigger, faster waves.
• 810X: The best of both worlds. Easier lift than the 720S, more hold and control at speed than the 850S. Its mid-aspect design means it can handle big surf without sacrificing agility, making it an incredibly versatile all-rounder for advanced riders.

Think of it this way: if the 720S is your go-to for aggressive small-wave ripping and the 850S is your safe bet for easier lift, the 810X is the one you grab when you want to push harder, in bigger, more critical conditions, without losing maneuverability.

The Bottom Line

So, what is the Code Foils 810X good for?

• Intermediate to advanced riders looking for sharper, more radical performance.
• Surf foilers who want control in everything from waist-high peelers to double-overhead peaks.
• Foil Drive users seeking a foil that’s easy to get up on but won’t max out once on the wave.
• Wing foilers chasing a surfy, maneuver-driven ride in gusty or downwind conditions.

The 810X represents a true evolution in foiling gear—a wing designed to meet the demands of today’s more aggressive, surf-inspired riding. If your style is all about radical turns, tighter lines, and control under pressure, the 810X is the foil you’ve been waiting for.

Designer Notes

The X series has been designed for those looking for more radical turns for all types of foiling. All the curves you see have been refined to breach with ease and control as you lay it on its side and also remain super stable at all times, even in turbulent water. Whether it’s wing foiling, surf foiling, wake foiling, parawinging or downwind foiling, this foil allows you to turn harder with more control.
