The Ultimate Wave Riding Instrument

Guided by years of kitefoil board design and the abundance of power in tow ups the Enigma took only a few prototypes to reach it's final form in sharp contrast to Omen's usual design process. 

Take the core principles that make any foil board pleasurable to ride and strip away every element that does not contribute, and you're left with the Enigma - the purest possible connection to your foil and the mysteries of the deep.

Regardless of the other boards you ride, withdrawal symptoms will set in aggressively after spending any amount of time with the Enigma.

Get ready to level up.

Construction:

The Enigma is built with a significantly heavier layup and denser foam core than any of our other boards. Not only does this make them super responsive despite their very thin profile, but it adds a ton of durability. This durability is critical in tow foiling where boards are subject to high levels of abuse in the boats.

We could certainly make a lighter tow board, but in practice since the weight is so centred under the rider it has minimal effect.

Dimensions:

Volume Length Width Thickness Weight
15L 4'1" 17.3" 1.5" 7.2 lbs

Sizing Notes:

We've had riders as light as 110lbs and as heavy as 220lbs who have all fallen in love with the Enigma. Even for heavy riders and the low powered watercraft in Chicama getting on foil is easy.

While the width seems narrow, the standing area of the board is wide enough for riders 6'2" due the the wider outline towards the tail, and shape of the rail which allows the deckpad to approach the very edge of the board.

Included:

The Enigma comes with strap inserts and the corresponding hardware to install your own straps (if you're the type that enjoys sick airs more than the health of your knees and ankles). You can view the configuration of the straps in the third product image.

Responsiveness meets stability

A thin deck and subtle concave bring you as close as possible to your foil for maximum control and a lower centre of gravity on the wave. The subtle concave through the standing area combined with the tow specific construction provides a supernatural feeling of connection to the wave energy.

The narrow outline provides extra rail clearance during hard turns while the rocker and design of the chines work together to recover from accidental contact with the water at any angle.

Details matter

feel supernatural

Most tow boards compromise on either rocker or stance since the combination of a thin, short, board with aggressive rocker can elevate the front foot area to an uncomfortable level.

The Enigma's rocker profile has been carefully designed to maintain the ideal level between the front and rear foot without compromising high speed touchdown recovery.

The subtle tail rocker through the track area further augments this and provides the rider a more secure and comfortable feel when travelling at high speed on steeper sections.

never waste a good pull

Easy on Foil

You're likely investing a significant amount of time and money lining up your tow foiling. Don't risk messing up sessions with a compromised board.

The Enigma's wide tail, low volume, aggressive nose rocker, and release oriented chine geometry sits low in the water, climbs steadily, and releases smoothly whether you're heading towards the boat or edging hard off to the side.

don't be held back

Pump further, connect more

Despite being thin, the ultra strong foam core and double reinforced layup provides uncompromising stiffness. Pump further and feel more connected than ever to your foil.

This also means the Enigma will hold up to the abuse typical of being banged around in a boat through rough waters for hours at a time. A treatment that would quickly leave lesser boards cracked and waterlogged.

Made in the EU

The Enigma is built to last. The Appletree factory in Portugal applies a full carbon layup over a CNC cut closed-cell foam core. Vacuum resin infusion technology is used to saturate the cloth and achieve the ideal fiber to resin ratio to optimize stiffness and durability.

This process is what allows Appletree to create a permanent bond to their proprietary foam core, and uniquely results in a board that will not be damaged by water ingress - even if the outer skin is damaged.

Along with their world renowned track reinforcing technology, the Enigma is a board you can rely on to maintain peak performance for years to come.

Whip in Wizard

Awesome tow foil board! I’ve been using this beauty mostly on ski whip ins to boat wakes in the interior, and it has been a riot! Stable enough for quick pull ups, forgiving on touch downs, and intuitive riding edge to edge, this board is a wake thief menace. It also pumps fantastic and is evenly balanced for this purpose. Get one and get out there.

Incredible Tow Board

I've spent many hours on this board towing in Chicama and North Shore Oahu, and it has been flawless. Perfectly shaped for easy static starts as well as touchdowns (both while on waves as well as towing out), the dims are perfect. On foil, it is instantly responsive to rider input and i've never felt so connected while riding. Even with it's thin profile, it is also incredibly strong, which is not only important while riding but also because of the inevitable banging around on the back of the ski or in the zodiac! Overall, i think Greg at Omen nailed this board and i can't think of anything i'd want in a tow board that it doesn't have.
