The Ginxu Dragonfly is the go-to Downwind Glider of choice for any open water foiler. Prone or Sup downwind on rolling swells, lightwind wing or paddle in small waves, or even flat water pop-up.

After years of development and hundreds of prototypes for the team and customers, the team’s pinnacle of design is finally here. We’ve all dreamed of riding open ocean swells. Now, we finally have the board that allows to do it effortlessly and with maximum control. Whether prone or paddle foiling, the Ginxu Dragonfly has the performance to match the vision you have for your downwinder and the dedication you are investing. Subtly recessed deck contour, aligns with the stance of the rider, helps a lot for take off, control and quicker, more sensitive pump response. Displacement hull for quick acceleration, Step Bottom for exceptional release. Dragonfly tail kick. Pointy, sleek nose for minimum drag. Dragonfly raised tail for paddle stability and clearance when turning or on foil.

Finbox

2x US 16” long box.

Pad

Thermoformed heat sealed Flat Cord deck pad with cuts for weight saving and water deflection.

Step Bottom

A patented cutout on the bottom rear third of the board, including the foil boxes, creates an unprecedented connection to the foil. For touchdowns, it reduces catching and deceleration and makes the initial take off incredibly easy.

Technology

Vacuum Lamination. We apply our proprietary high-end vacuum lamination process developed on Maui, formulated to withstand even harsh water impact, without effect on hull integrity or stance area. Adapted from the Ginxu line, this technology offers peace of mind in all water conditions.

Construction

Carbon Monocoque. The deck and stance area are integrated into the hull via a Carbon Monocoque. By bonding the carbon to the core through vacuum lamination, we ensure its superior material qualities get translated into the body of the board, creating a supremely light and stiff hull.

Materials

Carbon. The entire board gets vacuum laminated in Plain Weave Carbon. Additionally, the deck receives Uni-Directional Carbon coverage for ultimate structural strength. Lastly the padded stance area is reinforced with Biaxial Carbon, providing all the benefits of high-end non-crimp fabrics.

CNC Shaped

Precision CNC shaped and hand-built to our exact standards, every model, Stock or Custom, adheres to the non-stop evolving technologies we have developed on Maui since 1994.

Feeling

Excellent acceleration, quick release, medium stability. The Ginxu Dragonfly will pick up and fly immediately. Due to its slim and elegant outline, in the water it offers only medium lateral stability, however longitudinal stability is excellent.

Character

Downwind Sup performer. Light wind wing accessible. The Dragonfly wants to go downwind, it will push you and enable you at the same time. Made to go the extra mile, and then some.

Skill Level

Size dependant. Rookie to expert. Designed and pioneered by the KT Surfing team on Maui’s North Shore, the Dragonfly is perfectly at home under the feet of professionals, but equally accessible to anyone new to the experience.

SUP

From its inception the Ginxu Dragonfly was imagined and engineered with Sup performance in mind. Outline, shape and construction all cater to paddling.
