The DK1499 is the endurance wing in pump foil by Alpinefoil accessible to the greatest number of people.

General Presentation

After the DK1240 designed for learning and progression in pumpfoiling, Alpinefoil pushes the boundaries of pumpfoiling with the new DK1499, a wing specifically designed for endurance and distance. Resulting from extensive research and numerous prototypes, this wing is ideal for practitioners looking to maximize their flight time and distance in pumping. With cutting-edge technical features and a design focused on accessibility, the DK1499 caters to both experienced enthusiasts and performance-seeking amateurs.

Program and Objectives

Endurance and Distance: The DK1499 is optimized to break your records for flight time and distance in pumpfoiling.

Easy Takeoff: Thanks to its ability to fly at very low speeds, it allows for a drop start (without running on a pontoon).

Glide Optimization: Designed to provide an optimal glide/drag ratio over a speed range of 14 to 18 km/h, it ensures a smooth and efficient experience.

Accessibility: Despite its high performance, the DK1499 remains easy to handle, even for practitioners aged 40 to 60, thanks to its stability and maneuverability.

Technical Specifications

  • Surface: 1698 cm²
  • Wingspan: 1499 mm
  • Chord: 165 mm
  • Aspect Ratio: 13.23 (very high ratio)
  • Maximum Thickness: 16 mm
  • Profile: DK2025AF (new, thin profile optimized for the target speed range of 14 to 18 km/h)

Key Features

  • Endurance Performance:
  • Quadruples flight time and distance compared to the DK1240.
  • Low energy consumption in flight due to profile optimization and advanced flow studies.
  • Low-Speed Takeoff:
  • Allows for drop starts without running or flat starts in SUPfoiling.
  • Offers great stability during launch, ideal for practitioners of all levels.
  • Glide and Stability:
  • Despite its large wingspan, the DK1499 remains maneuverable thanks to refined tips derived from the RSX range.
  • Increased stability on the yaw axis due to a new 3D arch.
  • High-End Construction:
  • Hexcel Carbon (prepreg carbon used by Airbus), recyclable Airex core (Switzerland).
  • Use of high-modulus carbon for maximum rigidity despite the thinness and wingspan.
  • Inspired by the RSX range, this construction incorporates all the advantages gained during the development of the RSX.
  • Versatility:
  • Perfect for pumpfoiling but also for SUPfoiling downwind with a paddle, and for parawing to exploit small bumps.
  • Suitable for practitioners seeking maximum ease with maximum performance while reducing fatigue and cardio for long and effective sessions.

Design and Innovation

The DK1499 is the result of in-depth research inspired by free flight. Through advanced simulations, Alpinefoil optimized the glide angle and finesse to achieve unprecedented performance in the speed range of 14 to 18 km/h. The new DK2025AF profile, with a maximum thickness of only 16 mm, offers minimal drag while maintaining exceptional lift. This design ensures smooth propulsion with minimal muscular effort, focusing on the possibility of reducing cadence to maintain lower cardio levels.

For Whom?

  • Pumpfoilers looking to maximize their flight time and distance in pursuit of records.
  • Riders in progression who have successfully completed their first pumping flight.
  • SUP foil downwind or parawing enthusiasts wishing to exploit varied conditions.
  • Riders of all ages, even beyond sixty, thanks to its accessibility and ease of use.

Summary

The DK1499 is an endurance and distance pumpfoil wing designed to push your limits. With its high aspect ratio, high-end construction, and profile specifically optimized for the speed range of 14 to 18 km/h, it offers exceptional glide, surprising maneuverability, and remarkable accessibility. Whether you are an experienced enthusiast or an amateur seeking performance, this wing is the ideal tool to help you achieve your goals
