Severne Alien HD

Severne Alien HD

The Severne Alien is designed a purebred windsurfing foil board. Designed from the ground up after the disappointment of bolting a hydrofoil to a regular windsurfing board, Severne decided to make the Alien. The Alien enables all the variables to work in harmony and allow you to glide through the water with the best and newest foiling technology. The differences between the Alien and normal freeride boards are many: the shape, length, rocker, stance, and pretty much everything else. The Alien opens up more locations to windsurf and can double or triple your days on the water. The Alien is stable enough for some of you first flights and has the details in mind to deliver performance so as not to be outgrown.

Moulded technology
A durable construction that makes use of traditional moulding techniques, and a faster lead time to prioritize cost efficiency.

VOLUME
The volume distribution is very important on a foil board as it can be used in much lighter winds than you need to waterstart. So uphauling is an important consideration, and the Alien has enough volume forward to allow traditional uphaul technique with one foot either side of the mast base. A lot of volume in the back half of the board allows you to get into the straps before the board is even moving, and then kick-start up onto the foil.

LENGTH
Shorter length reduces the leverage and lift required by the foil to get the board out of the water and keep it there. So the Alien is much shorter than normal freeride boards, but still has enough length to be able to use the nose area for down-force at high speeds, balancing the lift from the foil. Having some length at the front also softens re-entry, minimizing catastrophic touch-downs.

WIDTH
The width of the board matches the widths of the foils it’s designed for. Too wide and the board has too much leverage over the foil and it’s easy to overpower the foil or not have enough support. Too narrow and the foil can dictate where the board goes. So we balance it up – Alien widths are 65-75cm wide, and designed for similar width foils.
