RONIX WAKEFOILS BROCHURE - EDITION 1

COMMEMORATING OUR PAST TO BRING YOU THE FUTURE.

80’S RISING ABOVE. (it was pretty sketchy).

Starting in the mid we took road trips to the Colorado River and learned the art of Surrounded by pioneers that would teach us how to fly on every thing from kneeboards to combo skis – yeah true story we flew on two skis

Later on, we used wakeboards – and even made chairs for the ones you buckle up and sit on. These trips gave us the baseline to understand the parameters of each product’s role.

From then until now we have observed new theories, watched what was happening in the surf world, and slowly added our own twist - which leads us to now.

Welcome to our 37th year of flight and THE

FIRST EDITION OF RONIX FOILS.

We know you will enjoy the path. ENJOY THE FLIGHT.

RONIX FOIL KIT INCLUDED PRODUCTS

ANTI-SEIZE

THIS IS INCLUDED TO GET YOU THE MOST OUT OF YOUR FOIL AND FOIL HARDWARE.

Every complete Ronix foil set up comes with this lubricant. When applied, it allows the least amount of torque to achieve the maximum amount of tightening force. More importantly the bolts will be easier to detach after long term storage.

HOW TO USE:

1. Have the material out of harms way – and keep away from hands and mouth.

2. Have paper towels present to help clean up any excess residue.

3. Gently squeeze a small amount of lubricant out of the tube onto the lower portion of the side of the bolt.

4. Insert the screw all the way in, then remove the screw and make sure that the lubricant has covered the entire perimeter of the bolt. If it is not covered, apply a little more material.

FOIL KIT ASSEMBLY ORDER

THIS IS THE ORDER WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO ASSEMBLE YOUR FOIL KIT.

1. Slide fuselage into front wing - tighten all 3 (A) screws.

2. Overlay fuselage onto rear stabilizer - tighten both (D) screws.

3.* Determine desired mast height - place both (B) inserts so that they go through both pieces of the adjustable mast - tighten (B) screws into inserts.

4. Insert mast into fuselage - tighten 2 of the 4 (E) screws.

5. Insert mast into mast top plate - tighten remaining 2 of 4 (E) screws.

6. Slightly attach all 4 foil board track screws (C) into the track inserts (C).

*If you have a fixed 24” or 28” mast, skip step 3.

7. Place 2 track insert/screws (C) into left track, place remaining 2 insert/screws (C) into right rack. Slide one set all the way up the track, and the other set all the way down the track.

8. Place mast top plate on to board so that the track aligns with top plate grooves.

9. Slide all 4 insert/screws (C) into top plate groovesand proceed to tighten.

10. If you are unsure of where to place mast top plate, start with the mast top plate as close to the tail of the board as possible, for added stability. As your skills progress, gradually slide mast top plate forward for added lift.

11. Always ensure screws are tightened with every use.

MOVING YOUR MAST

MORE (+) LIFT OR LESS (-) LIFT

Loosen all 4 track plate screws and gradually move the mast top plate either forward (towards the tip of the board) for increased lift, or backwards (towards the

ADDING SHIMS

LIFT VS. SPEED

We offer 2 metal shims that are mounted between the fuselage and the rear stabilizer - one shim is designed for more speed while the other is created for added lift. Every Ronix set up has the rear stabilizer mounted below the fuselage.

-1° By raising the height of the trailing edge of the rear stabilizer you create more drag, but increase the overall lift, stability and response of your ride.

+1° By decreasing the height of the trailing edge of the rear stabilizer you will notice increased glide and overall speed, and makes a looser / less stable ride.

Which set up is right for you?

Honestly some of our best foil sessions haven’t even involved using a shim. A shim is by no means a mandatory piece to your foil puzzle - our set up has a great combination of lift and speed on its own. But some beginner to intermediate level riders prefer a -1° shim. While other advanced level riders prefer a +1° shim.

+1° -1°

ADDED LIFT

Foiling is so unique – requiring the finest design elements of hydro and aerodynamics.

If you are only focused on lift and speed – you might be sacrificing stability or response so finding that crucial balance between the two is everything.

The greatest mind of watersports -

HERB O’BRIEN

Born on July 27th (7/27) 1944, he is regarded as the pioneer of the modern-day compression molded waterski, wakeboard, wakeskate and wakesurfer along with forever changing watersports footwear. As one of the main founders of Ronix, his spirit of endless innovation will live on forever.

HYDRODYNAMIC VISIONARY

Herb’s father, Was also born on July 27th (727) 1910 and grew up in the Seattle area. Ed had a landmark run in the field of aeronautics. One of the key engineers for the B17 and B47 airplane and the Bomarc, Minuteman missile and also helped out with the 727 airplane too. He carried his methodical mind over to developing the blueprint for the most historic man made waterski mecca – Radar Lake.

ED O’BRIEN

AERODYNAMIC VISIONARY

In tribute to these brilliant people in their respective fields, combining the best attributes of foiling (hydro and aerodynamics) - we proudly present the series:

A collection of products giving homage to two people that both lived with a never-ending mindset of product revolutions.

We have been analyzing the most important needs in a proper foil board. Those would be deflection, buoyancy, tempo, and footwear.

DEFLECTION

When you are wakesurfing you always want contact with the waterline. That gives you the control to create leverage and speed. As we foiled more we realized you don’t want any of those qualities in your board. In wakefoiling, your angle and quickness should be coming directly from your foil. The board’s job is to rebound off the water as quickly as possible allowing the mast to get back into the correct height again. We did this by creating a pronounced directional rockerline looking to aid the take off and rebound the landing. Then we added exaggerated bevels covering the profile of the board to help displace the water as quickly / smoothly as possible.

BUOYANCY

We found the best prototypes were the ones that would have medium rise when we were standing on them underwater. As boards got too thick it was difficult to do a deep-water start. Half the time we foil we start with the board underneath our feet in the water. If the board is too thin, you don’t have enough buoyancy which won’t create the feel we were looking for with the board as we were preparing to take off. Neutral buoyancy 2.0 for the flight variety is born.

TEMPO

The lighter board – the quicker /easier the initiation of a turn is – but if the board feels too light it will want to initiate a turn before your body does. Or vice versa – if the board is delayed from your natural movement – in either of these scenarios you have the dreaded cross up. Finding the right tempo in the shape and construction was vital. We shaped countless prototypes to figure out the balancing act of meeting buoyancy and swing weight needs – for a the right rhythm between rider and board.

FOOTWEAR

Straps are included - those first couple times you ride - your boat driver will thank you for using them. It’s definitely easier to get up with them while you learn to feel stable in a foiling body position.

KOAL SURFACE FOIL BOARD

A construction incorporating the core of our high-end Flyweight Pro series, but wrapped in a bulletproof Surface Skin. In short, the lightweight feel of your favorite high-end surfer, the durability of your favorite wakeboard, and a skin that breaks up the water for less resistance.

FEATURES

Available in 4’1 or 4’8 Length 10” track length with industry standard 3.5” width between tracks

Foil Specific Design - all attributes of the rocker, bevel, profile, swing weight were designed specifically for foiling Koal Surface Construction –Made from our popular Koal Classic core and then wrapped in super tough Surface Skin.

Blended EVA Traction Pad – A compound made from both foam and rubber with machined grooves for a softer feel and the best grip in foiling.

Footwear – Adjustable footstraps are included

Inserts – 3 stance options for both your front and rear foot. Handmade by Robots – Every 727 Foilboard is made from a machined core to the exact tolerance we spec’d out.

Lava Resin – Made from a high temp resin to withstand extreme heat.

FLUID

MAST

SHIFT EDITION

For several decades people have experienced the feeling of flight. Hard to beat the sensation of levitating a couple feet from the water’s surface. The hurdle has always been a taller mast is more rewarding, but also infinitely harder to learn on.You don’t learn how to snowboard/ski on double black diamond runs and up until now that has been your option in foiling.

SO WE CHANGED THAT.

We created and patented the world’s only telescoping adjustable mast. Now you can have a mast that grows with you as you progress through the 3 major aspects of adapting to foiling. 3 options in 1 to take you through the evolution.

SETTING 1 @ 14” TALL DEEP WATER START EDITION

This is where it all starts. We have ridden masts as short as 10” to over 30”. We feel 14” is the perfect height to begin your adventure. We have coached countless people that have struggled for years on a traditional mast height with great success on this reduced height. You are still above the water, but you don’t have nearly the magnified sensation on your starts as you would with most conventional mast heights. Once you feel comfortable with your starts at this height, we encourage you to directly go to setting #2.

SETTING 1 SENSATION SKIMMING OVER THE WATER

SETTING 2 @ 17” TALL TURNING EDITION

Congratulations you have advanced from the beginning phase and feel comfortable with your start. Now you can learn weight position, your ideal stance, how to open your hips and shoulders up to the boat, all the while holding on to the handle. This setting is all about building the correct foundation that will carry you through every level of foiling. We encourage you to stay at this setting until you feel solid with the key mechanics and have a comfortable heelside or toeside turn without involving the wave.

SETTING 3 @ 20” TALL WAVE EDITION

You are on a roll. You have your starts and the basic fundamentals in your back pocket. Welcome to the highest setting. While on the second wave with a roughly 80’ rope we encourage you to be outside of the wave and gradually edge into the wave all while holding onto the handle. This setting will more than likely take some time – but the goal is to understand the power of the wave, where the force is coming from and you will need to adjust your weight / movements to these new forces. Once you feel you like you understand the habits of the wave and how you need to adjust for them – drop the handle and begin your flight.

SETTING 2 SENSATION HOVERING OVER THE WATER

SETTING 3 SENSATION FLYING

Stay high, stay consistent, stay fluid. Speed, lift and travel usually override arguably the most important aspect of your mast – the flow. We have tested a variety of foils in the marketplace. A theme on many would be feeling the foil setup turning in stages. Each pivot would be good for another “X” degrees until you finally arced through a sectioned turn. We were looking for an effortless turn like you are ripping powder. A shape manifested with a built-in metronome to keep a consistent, prolonged cadence. The temperament of this mast will see you through the progression of flight all the way to fifth wave back exploration. A fluid session will always have you feeling in control of your ride as you comfortably stand upright in a natural foil position. Don’t let it fool you though – always ready to jump on the gas for a port to starboard wave transfer – just with a smooth linked predictable fluid feel to it.

WINGS MADE BY AIR

So, we make our wings using ice and air. Ronix proudly presents some manufacturing usually reserved for F1 wings. A lighter, more responsive environmentally friendly way of molding parts without any unused resin. The carbon laminates go in “dry” and just the right amount of frozen epoxy is then infused into the fibers. Then each product is put into an air chamber where the PSI is turned up to a level that no deep-sea diver has witnessed. Through the 2-hour formation every finite portion of the product molds equally because of the evenly dispersed pressurized oxygen. There is no crease or flash line – just a perfectly altered part without any stress points.

The result of this process builds the thinnest trailing edge with the cleanest exit in foiling. The aspect ratio, profile of the wingspan all play such crucial – but will be overshadowed if the water disruption isn’t greatly minimalized. When you take that first cutback you will instantly feel the difference.

This is where it all starts. The personality of your levitating experience. A proper flight begins and ends with a front wing set to your cadence and velocity.

FRONT WING 101

Before we tell you about our collection of products, let’s understand the science behind Aspect Ratios. Here’s a look at how our feathered friends have evolved their wings and how we mimic their world of aquatic flight.

LONGER WINGSPAN

Longer wingspan with a narrower depth outline allows flight over long distances without as much flapping.

– Basis of Speed

MEDIUM WINGSPAN

Medium wingspan with a deeper depth outline allows it soar with reliability, while the elliptical outline creates a quicker reacting turn.

– Basis of Balance

HIGHER ASPECT RATIO

As speed increases, wingspans expand, get narrower, flatter, and more streamlined at the end.

MID ASPECT RATIO

As stability increases wingspans shorten, get wider, more elliptical, and curl up at the end.

With years in the making, we proudly present our first-generation mid aspect series and higher aspect ratio series line of wings. We wanted to have 2 models depicting these opposing styles. Names that live up to their action – either a more consistent or faster flight pattern.

BALANCE SPEED

HYBRID CARBON WINGS

As infused autoclave development evolved we learned that this style of manufacturing wings compliments aluminum masts and fuselages. This layup makes a more buoyant part offsetting the increased weight of an aluminum mast. A composition that compliments the mast by creating more natural rise/lift. This creates more pressure on the board so as you begin to pump you feel a more direct transfer.

BALANCE

FRONT WING

RHYTHMIC FLOW OF A SEQUENCE OF MOVEMENTS

A common theme in analyzing foils is getting great drive, and lift but having a hard time controlling it. The board will skyrocket to the top, plunge to the bottom or somewhere in between. This series of wings will ask you what floor on the elevator do you want to attend – and most importantly – keep you there. A nimble turn that will easily roll over to edge with its elliptical outline and additional width. Will quickly set you in the sweet spot, and keep you on your specified flight pattern, and do it with a quicker reacting edge hold.

SPEED

FRONT WING RAPIDITY OF MOTION, TO BE STRONG, TO BE LIVELY.

Unparalleled drive – this series was created for riders with a foiling background looking for top line speed and greater pumping efficiency. You will instantly notice the increased response and the output it provides. Not only can you pump easier with the Speed edition – each push generates significantly more energy. A striking hydrodynamic design created to amplify your path of 4th wave adventures.

FRONT WING CHART

CHARACTERISTICS

Open Water Glide – Easier wave transfers from the streamlined design.

Momentum Pumping – As you pump you are getting more forward trajectory.

CHARACTERISTICS

Natural Rise – Wants to generate lift with ease making it easier to recover when you are not in perfect wave placement.

Power Pumping – As you pump you are naturally creating additional lift.

NAVIGATOR

REAR STABILIZER

The voice of reason mounted on the back of your Link 3D fuselage is there to conduct your voyage as you navigate the seas. A low temperament design that helps steer the ship and bail you out of a jam when off axis. Available in Hybrid Carbon Construction.

FUSELAGE

The Link 3D is the intersection to the mast, front wing and rear stabilizer with perfection in every nuance. Each fuselage starts out as a high-grade alloy in the shape of a long brick and is then milled on a 3 axis CNC machine to the exact dimension for the perfect fit between the connection points. This streamlined conical design achieves the highest marks of anything we have ever tested in rigidity and water efficiency. A strong efficient link is in many ways the driving force to a smooth predictable foiling experience.

Every foil kit comes complete with this extra padded gem. A levitating locker neatly labeled to have an organized day on the lake. Pockets for multiple masts, fuselages and your favorite wing, mast, hardware kit, etc. Don’t want to bring this backpack of delight in your boat? No problem we have removable front and rear wing protective covers.

If we loved foils so much, had a blast building and riding them for nearly 40 years – why wait until now? When we do decide to make something happen – we won’t settle until we have a line of products putting the customer experience first. First, we had to find the…

THE RIGHT PARTNER THE RIGHT PRODUCT THE RIGHT MESSAGE THE RIGHT LOOK

That starts with precision manufacturing – every degree and millimeter matters in foiling. Over the past several decades we have interviewed domestically and internationally around 40 factories qualified to make a foil – many already do but not to the expectations we were looking for. We have fuselages made of highgrade alloys individually milled on a CNC machine to the most finite specs for the perfect fit and intersection between mast and wings. We partnered with a manufacturer specializing in autoclave technology capable of making the most intricate carbon fiber curvatures using high pressured air with infused epoxy. Clean products produce a clean ride - trust us you will notice the difference with how the water exits the trailing edge of our wings.

Wakefoiling is regarded as difficult - we heard from retailers that were averaging as low as a 1 in 4 success rate with customers on demos. We would never want to enter the marketplace unless we knew our products were going to be consistently put smiles on people’s faces. Wakefoiling comes with a whole new set of rules and products that means rethinking everything you thought you knew about hydrodynamics. Anything short of making the flight experience fun wasn’t going to be acceptable – and that took years. Many people that previously tried foiling couldn’t get past the “bucking bronco” or were getting crossed up on their starts have been having a blast on our line of Shift edition products. Easier/calmer deep water starts.

In addition to being difficult to ride – the sport can be confusing. From the beginning we had a simple goal - a technical product mix that tells a simple story. It was really important to us that everything about our meaning was relatable and relevant.

A colorway giving homage to the One collection created in a barn back in the winter of 2006. It’s bold, different – but more importantly it is your depth gauge to know your front wing is relative to the waterline. We analyzed We dreamed We conceptualized We sourced We sampled We asked We tested We repeated We tweaked and tweaked and tweaked some more We stepped out of our comfort level We gained perspective We took a long time We made foiling fun We made foiling easy We hope you enjoy.

WAKEFOILING IS...

SOLITUDE

The undiluted feeling at 80 feet from the boat and the only sound you hear is coming from the water changing course as you begin your pump to a upcoming travel.

STRATEGIC

A grand design with endless methodical scenarios awaits. As you elevate your mast at the end of the wave – accounting for the speed, time of travel, where to cutback calculating the trajectory that will take you to your next swell.

SUBTLE

Knowing that every finite nuance can alter your ride in endless situations.

A MEMOIR

Are you transferring, pumping, gliding, carving, pointing – there is this constant unwritten adventure of opportunities each fulfilled with their own atypical biography.

SOULFUL

A chance to get lost in the moment of confronting every encounter with a renaissance of unrestricted movements.

HARD

Finite weight alterations can amend the course of your balance and foil direction.

REWARDING

Very few things compare to unraveling that cause-and-effect of foiling’s idiosyncrasies.

EASY

You are flying on the water with as little as 4 mph of pull with this effortless strain on your body.

EXPANSIVE

WATER SPORTS SAFETY CODE

The warnings and practices in the Water Sports Safety Code represent common risks, but it is not intended to address all potential hazards associated with water sports. Please use common sense and good judgment.

BEFORE YOU GET IN THE WATER: Skiing or riding instruction is recommended before use. Instruction will teach general safety guidelines and proper skiing or riding techniques, which may reduce your risk of injury. For more information about skiing or riding schools, contact your dealer, association, or local ski club.

- ALWAYS familiarize yourself with applicable laws, waterways, and inherent risks.

If you are not familiar with a waterway, ask someone who is, to tell you about any hidden dangers or other potential hazards to avoid.

- ALWAYS wear a properly fitted USCG type III / Level 70N, ISO/CE or other agency approved Life Jacket or Personal Flotation Device (PFD)whether you plan to be in a watercraft or skiing or riding behind one.

- ALWAYS inspect all equipment including, bindings, fins, tubes, other attachments, tow ropes and flotation devices before each use. DO NOT use if damaged.

WATERCRAFT SAFETY: A knowledgeable, responsible and qualified driver is the most important safety device on any watercraft.

- NEVER operate a watercraft, ski or ride under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

- ONLY use water ballast and people for additional weight. Uneven weight distribution or additional weight may affect the handling of your watercraft.

- NEVER exceed the passenger or weight limitations of your watercraft.

- NEVER allow passengers to hang outside your watercraft or towed device, to sit on the gunwales, or to sit anywhere outside of the normal seating areas.

- NEVER allow water to overflow the bow or gunwales of the watercraft.

CARBON MONOXIDE: Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO) which is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. Carbon monoxide is produced by burning fuel. Signs of carbon monoxide poisoning include nausea, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and lack of consciousness.

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

- ALWAYS avoid breathing engine exhaust. If you smell engine exhaust, move to fresh air.

- NEVER “platform drag” by holding onto the boarding platform or by dragging directly behind the watercraft. .

- NEVER sit on the watercraft transom or boarding platform while the engine is running.

- ALWAYS make sure the engine is properly tuned and running well. A poorly tuned engine may produce high concentrations of carbon monoxide. For more information, visit the United States Coast Guard website (www.uscgboating.org).

TOW ROPES: Tow ropes come in different lengths and strengths for different activities. Always check any rope you plan to use is intended for skiing or riding.

- ALWAYS inspect tow ropes prior to each use. NEVER use a damaged rope that is frayed, knotted, unraveling, or discolored from use or from sun exposure. REPLACE tow ropes with any sign of damage.

- ALWAYS use a rope with the proper tensile strength and follow all manufacturer’s recommendations for use.

- NEVER use a rope with elastic or bungee material as a tow rope to pull skiers or riders.

- ALWAYS attach rope in an approved fashion to your watercraft, using hardware designed for towing. Refer to your watercraft User’s Manual for instructions on proper tow rope attachment for each water sports activity.

- ALWAYS keep people and tow ropes away from the propeller, even when idling. Before retrieving a tow rope entangled with a propeller: ALWAYS turn OFF the engine, remove the key, and take the key with you.

- Tow ropes should be disconnected and safely stowed in the watercraft when not in use.

PREPARING TO SKI OR RIDE: ALWAYS have a capable observer in addition to a qualified driver, and agreed upon hand signals

- ALWAYS check the driver is aware of the experience and the ability level of the skier or rider.

- The driver, the observer, and the skier or rider need to agree upon hand signals before skiing or riding. Signals should include READY, STOP, SPEED UP, and SLOW DOWN.

- ALWAYS check no one is in the water near the propeller before starting the engine.

- ALWAYS turn engine OFF when people are getting into or out of your watercraft, or are in the water near your watercraft.

- ALWAYS make sure the tow rope is not wrapped around anyone’s hands, arms, legs, or other body part.

- ALWAYS accelerate slowly to remove slack until the tow rope is taut after restarting your watercraft.

- When the skier or rider signals READY and states, “Hit it!”, confirm the path in front of your watercraft is clear of other watercraft or obstacles. Then accelerate in a straight line. Adjust your speed according to the signals given by the skier/rider.

SKIING OR RIDING: ALWAYS maintain a sufficient distances from the watercraft, the skier or rider, and any potential hazards, so a skier or rider falling or coasting and/or the watercraft will avoid potential hazards.

- ALWAYS wear a properly fitted USCG type III, ISO or other agency approved Personal Flotation Device (PFD) or Life Jacket.

- NEVER ski or ride near swimmers, shallow water, other watercraft, or obstacles.

- ONLY use on water.

- NEVER attempt land or dock starts. This will increase your risk of serious injury or death.

- The faster you ski or ride, the greater your risk of injury.

- NEVER make sharp turns while towing skiers or riders. Sharp turns may result in sudden acceleration of the skier’s or rider’s speed.

- ALWAYS tow skiers and riders at appropriate speeds for their ability level.

- Towing multiple skiers or riders increases their likelihood of injury.

FALLEN SKIER OR RIDER: ANY FALL may result in injury.

- ALWAYS circle fallen skier or rider slowly to return the tow rope handle or pick up the fallen skier/rider.

- ALWAYS put engine in neutral when near a fallen skiers or riders.

- ALWAYS keep the fallen skiers or riders in view and on the driver’s side of the watercraft.

- ALWAYS turn engine OFF when a skier or a rider is getting into or out of the watercraft or is in the water near the watercraft.

- ALWAYS display a red or orange skier-down flag to alert other watercraft that a skier or rider is down.
