PERFORMANCE

Hope Craft V3 was built for riders who demand the most direct connection possible between rider and foil. Designed with Fred Hope, it delivers extreme stiffness without the typical weight penalty—so control feels immediate and precise at speed. The generous nose volume, pronounced rocker, and straightened beveled rails make touchdowns feel more forgiving than you’d expect from a high-performance board. It’s built to push harder, carve faster, and respond instantly. Feel The Difference when every input translates, right now.

THE FEEL

Hope Craft V3 feels like a direct line to your foil. The stiffness eliminates the “lag” you get from softer boards, so inputs translate immediately. It feels fast, precise, and extremely connected under load. That difference shows up most when you’re charging upwind or carving hard.

For a performance board, Hope Craft V3 is surprisingly friendly when you reconnect with the water. The generous nose volume and pronounced rocker help it recover instead of grabbing. Straightened beveled rails keep water flow clean so touchdowns skip and release. You can push harder knowing the board won’t punish every mistake.

The premium layup keeps weight down without sacrificing stiffness. That makes the board feel lively in transitions and easier to control at speed. It accelerates quickly, responds instantly, and stays composed when you’re fully powered. High performance feels smoother and more repeatable.

FAQ

Should I ride with straps or strapless?

Strapless is simpler for learning and helps foot placement feel natural.
Straps add control for jumps, higher speed, and locked-in stance.
Many boards support both options so you can evolve your setup.
Start simple, then add straps when you’re ready.

Do I need hardware to mount my foil?

Our boards do not come with mounting hardware, while our masts come with the hardware required to mount your foil to your board.
Check the “What’s Included” section for your exact model.
Using the correct bolts and torque helps protect the tracks and board.
If you need help, Support can confirm the right hardware.
