The world's first folding foil board

Unfold
your World

Aerospace-grade carbon that folds in half — and still rides like a top-end weapon. Chase the session anywhere; it fits in the boot of the car.

Mid-length masterpiece

Longer, narrower,
faster

A refined length-to-width ratio and a shark-inspired hull generate exceptional forward momentum — instant takeoffs in light wind, flowing carves through waves.

The WAKA Glide
Why WAKA exists

Boards got longer.
Travel got harder.
So we made one that folds.

No more wrestling boards onto roof racks, no oversized coffin bags, no excess-baggage drama. Two years of prototypes across Hood River, New Zealand and La Ventana — refined by riders, until you forget it folds at all.

How it works

Most riders don't
believe it folds

There's no mechanical hinge and nothing to wear out — just an aerospace-grade carbon living hinge and three titanium bolts. Here's the whole trick, start to finish.

Adventure-ready portability

Folds down,
travels anywhere

Fold it in half and the whole quiver travels as one — tucked in the boot of the car, stowed in the hull of the boat, checked in at the airport with no drama.

“If you told me you could create a board that folds in half and still performs like a top-end weapon, I would have laughed you out of the room.”

Ed — WAKA Glide review

“I didn't know it folded at all. I clearly was standing right over the fold. Had no issues with pumping. Could not feel that it was a board that could potentially do this, which is crazy.”

Nina — WAKA Glide review

“What I really appreciated was how well it was gliding and how that allowed me to pop out of the water much sooner.”

Jonathon — WAKA Glide review

“Out in the waves it responded. You could pump it, you could ride waves. Tracked incredibly well. Super predictable.”
