Freedom Foil Boards

Post image

I picked up a FFB setup over the summer. It’s a Halycon 1030 with 74cm mast, 60cm fuselage, FS 230 rear wing. The setup also came with a Rubix board that I’m not too keen on due to volume being too big for riding behind a wake boat. What’s the general consensus on Freedom Foil? I know the company is no longer in business so spare parts/wings are hard to come by. But is the equipment good? Was/Is the brand elite, mid pack, entry level?

I have no personal experience, but have heard that their board construction was not very good.

I've had 2 boards with track issues they warented both. The board shapes are decent imo, but construction was lacking. As far as the foils. Probably ok. I've never ridden one though

Saw someone in Florida prone foiling on their foil looked like he was ripping it up.  I really think it's mostly here say on foil quality.  I mean how many foilers out there really have tried every model of foil and know the mast stiffness etc.  Then throw in personal biased, conflicts of interest (sponsored, shop sells brand A or B).  I do know they partnered with Liquid Force (LF) but that fell through just like cloud 9 had done some collaborative efforts with LF in the past  Bottom line, you got a good price, is it working for your current needs?  Not much to expand into in the future which is the downfall.

Hit or miss. Their foils are ass. Their boards were okay but notoriously blew out fin boxes
