Title: AK Durable Supply Company
Post by: 805StandUp on February 13, 2020, 06:57:27 PM

Was watching Zane's latest Vlog and noticed he is riding an AK Foil as seen in this photo:

Anyone heard of these?  Do they make the Starboard foils?

Good pick up didn't notice that . it's another kite company and the foil is very different to the Starboard , pretty basic in design and medium aspect. From my under standing Airush is affiliated with Starboard as the kite division , sort of like JP/NP/Cabrhina . Looks like AK Durable is the surf foil division of Airush . Click on the Airush link and scroll dwon and the AK surf foil pops up.

Ahh... makes sense, Piros.  Took a look through the links.  Interesting that Zane has the front wing out of the water in his carves.  The medium aspect wings seem to handle this as well as the high-aspect ones and seem very surfy...

I guess Zane was getting questions about his foil setup so he posted this... highlighting production Starboard gear...
