Patrik Formula 200

Invert-V

Invert-V provides more lift and earlier planing. Thanks to this effect, we were able to change several other parts of the shape to improve overall performance without losing existing advantages.

Scoop rocker line

The old rocker line did not work with the Invert-V concept because it was unstable around the shoulder, so we replaced it with a new rocker line that harmonizes better with the concept.

Outline

Thanks to the hydrodynamic effect of the Invert-V concept, the board feels freer. This made it possible to lengthen and straighten the tail outline for more rail power under the back strap, so you can press up against the wind at lower speeds – especially valuable at the start and immediately after a gybe.

Deck shape & mast track

With the board sitting higher on the water, we reversed the deck shape to lower the mast track position and keep the rig's connection point at the same level as the previous model. This keeps the board controllable and makes the shape slightly stiffer. The deck at the downwind strap is angled for a more comfortable standing position.

Rail shape

Larger rails provide more upwind angle and less catching in choppy conditions. The combination of changes provided a stable riding position, which made it possible to shape the back foot's rail slightly more square so you can press harder against the wind. The back foot's rail width can be trimmed with the adjustable wing system.

Fin box / fin position

Thanks to Invert-V's hydrodynamic effect, the board glides freer over the water, which made it possible to place the fin box at 9 cm. The extra surface behind the fin provides more lift and improves early planing and acceleration, while the board glides stably even in the strongest gusts. The built-in fin box easily handles the load peaks from modern foil-baneracing and also improves the power transfer to the fin.

Strap position

Because the board sits stably and controllably thanks to the fin box's more forward position, we were able to balance the strap trim further back and move the rotation point further forward, so the board can turn sharper against the wind and improve the upwind angle. All mountings have been moved back an additional 20 mm.

Cutouts

New geometry balances the entire new concept with Invert-V, fin box, and strap position. The step-shaped cutout reduces the number of nylon spacers and the mounting depth for the adjustable cutout plate, which saves weight.

Adjustable cutouts

The new adjustable cutout plates are designed to be reversible from left to right and used for lateral or longitudinal stabilization.

Adjustable wings

The key feature for ISAF's "one board rule". It allows you to trim the board according to your riding style and all types of conditions. The tail/strap width can be adjusted from 86.5 cm up to 94.5 cm.
