The Ultimate Lightwind board for Advanced Riders
Looking for more precision and responsiveness in your light wind riding and/or parawing? The Emissary has arrived with the answer.
Through iterations of CFD simulation, prototyping, and testing, the design of the larger boards diverged into a unique sub range. While the smaller sizes delivers the answer to the dedicated foiler's everyday board, the 66 and 78 are the perfect compliment for low powered sail conditions. Be this parawinging or super lightwind winging, the Emissary's combination of efficiency and performance will get you foiling waves with the least amount of sail input.
The Problem and the Process
The question with the Emissary began as “how much volume can we remove while retaining the ability to get on foil with very low sail power”. Using the Flux as a start point, CFD software was applied to simulate a multitude of design variations. Testing efficiency through a range of different angles of attack began to form a representational efficiency model of each hull building speed and taking off. We then combined the features of the most successful variations and recursively tested the best designs against each other until a clear winner emerged. Minor refinements were made during rounds of prototyping and testing to improve usability with the end result being a hull optimized for the greatest possible efficiency at takeoff with the minimal possible volume.
Performance First Design
Driven by hydrodynamics, the minimized volume in the nose and tail significantly reduce swing-weight despite the longer lengths. The width is based on the ideal stance width of the target size riders controlling higher aspect foils ideal for underpowered conditions.
Although the design compromises some of the incredible ease of use the Flux is known for, it provides advanced intermediate and above foilers the ability to further downsize their lightwind board while actually gaining low end capability.

**For a more intermediate/heavier rider friendly parawing board the 84L Flux, 95L SuperMarine, and 105L SuperMarine are also great options.
Each Emissary is shipped with our new deckpad material factory installed. Being dedicated wave boards, the Emissaries have no strap inserts to maximally reduce weight. For a board more suitable to jumping and freestyle check out the Flux.
