SuperMarine - Winging Progression

Introducing the Super Marine

Credit for the SuperMarine concept goes to MacKite's Tucker Vantol. Noticing many  wingers lacked the local conditions or more advanced skills required for the 84L Flux to support their progression, he approached us with a vision and some preliminary dimensions. The problem definition with the SuperMarine became creating a higher volume midlength that would provide the same boost to early intermediate wingers that the Flux has become known for with intermediate - advanced riders.

Working Hard to Make Ripping Easier

Leveraging the CFD technology we'd been refining with the Emissary boards, we created the SuperMarine. The shape balances accessibility for heavier riders and outstanding lightwind performance, without sacrificing Omen's signature responsive, surfy feel on waves. 

The SuperMarine's hull provides significantly more stability than anything in the Flux or Emissary range while maintaining outstanding efficiency and touchdown recovery. This confidence inspiring yet surprisingly nimble platform will have you mastering gybes, tacks, and waveriding so fast your crew will be wondering what other new "gear" you're on.

Built for Progression through Flow State

While easier maneuvers is a great feature, the standout attribute of the SuperMarine is how effortlessly it gets you back on foil. Rather than being hesitant to fall, you'll find yourself consistently playing at the edge of your personal limits each session, regardless of the conditions. Far beyond any other feature or even technique, this practice will accelerate your progression and realization of your full potential.

Versatile by Design

Though the SuperMarine is generally intended to be a winger's second "all round board", there has been a number of Omen riders expressing interest in the shape as a dedicated light wind option. While the larger Emissary boards and the 84L Flux combine high performance with incredible low end, they are narrower and designed to be ridden at a relatively low volume/bodyweight ratio. Despite the excellent take off, due to their dimensions they lack the ability to "slog" in extremely low wind. The way to think about light wind riding with those boards is like a surfer waiting for a set, patiently scan the wind-line and stand by for a puff or "set" of wind to get on foil. The SuperMarine on the other hand, can be sailed in wind below that required to get on foil for those who prefer this approach or live in spots where slogging is required.

Note that the tracks on the SuperMarine are placed further forward relative to our other boards. It is recommended to start with your foil near the rear of the tracks for the easiest fore/aft balancing during waterstarts. As your skills improve you can start inching the foil forward for more responsive turning and surfing performance along with an increasing requirement for dynamic balancing during taxiing.
