Aggression 150 & 170: Surf Foils That Refuse to Stay in One Lane

Some foils find their place immediately.

The Aggression 150 and 170 did something different.

They were designed as surf foils first. The goal was simple: create a wing that prioritized turning, roll, pocket control, and that connected feeling underfoot that defines great surf foiling. What surprised us during testing was how quickly these wings proved they could do far more than that.

The Aggression 150 and 170 have become some of the most versatile foils we've ever built.

At the heart of the design is an 8:1 aspect ratio paired with an anhedral planform that gives the foil its signature feel. The Aggression banks naturally, transitions rail-to-rail effortlessly, and stays remarkably loose for its size. Unlike many larger wings that begin to feel locked into their span, the Aggression maintains a playful, surf-oriented character even as the surface area grows.

That's where the 170 becomes truly unique.

Most riders expect a 170 square inch foil to prioritize low-end lift and stability. The Aggression 170 delivers those benefits, but somehow retains the turning behavior of a much smaller wing. During testing, it quickly became clear that the 170 wasn't just a larger surf foil—it was a legitimate downwind and parawing platform.

The glide is exceptional. The speed range is far higher than most riders expect. And perhaps most importantly, it maintains its surf DNA even when covering distance. Instead of feeling locked into a straight line, the 170 encourages riders to hunt for energy, bank off bumps, and surf their way through a run.

For riders looking for a one-foil solution that can surf, downwind, parawing, Foil Drive, and even tow, the 170 makes an incredibly strong case.

The 150 follows a similar philosophy but with a slightly more performance-oriented personality. Fast, responsive, and incredibly agile, it has become a favorite among Foil Drive riders who want maximum speed and maneuverability without giving up low-end usability. It carries speed effortlessly, responds instantly to rider input, and feels equally at home carving a wave face or hunting sections under power.

What makes both sizes special is how efficiently they carry speed through turns. Rather than slowing down when banked over, the Aggression wants to accelerate. That ability to generate speed from surfing energy is what allows these foils to punch above their size in both downwind and Foil Drive applications.

For setup, the Aggression was designed around a 1-degree shim paired with either a Quantum or AfterBurner stabilizer.

The Quantum brings additional glide, top-end speed, and efficiency while maintaining the pitch support needed to push hard through turns. The AfterBurner adds a looser, more surf-focused feel while preserving the speed that defines the Aggression platform.

While the Progression tails remain a great option for maximizing low-end lift, they tend to pull the Aggression below its natural operating speed. The Aggression wants to run faster, and both the Quantum and AfterBurner allow the wing to stay in the speed range where it truly comes alive.

The result is a foil that breaks expectations.

More speed than a surf foil should have.
More glide than a surf foil should have.
And somehow, more surf than foils built specifically for efficiency.

The Aggression 150 and 170 weren't designed to be all-around foils.

They just turned out that way.
