HYPERION PRO 154

• HYPERION PRO 154 (209 × 84 cm)

Best choice for riders up to approx. 80–85 kg, or as a high wind board for heavier riders.

An ultra efficient racing machine built for maximum control and speed in a wide range of conditions and particularly suited as an overall solution for women and lighter male sailors.

Excellent also for heavier riders in medium to strong winds.

•  Durepox Xtreme ® – America’s Cup grade ultra high tech bottom paint finish currently used by Team NZ!
–  Proven faster release for that extra ‘slip’ = higher speeds..
–  Harder and more durable than normal paint finishes.
–  A windsurfing industry first. Taking it to the next level!

•  Upgraded Construction: Both Hyperion Pro models now feature a new (exclusive for FMX) layup that is light, crisp and responsive, whilst maintaining the trademark strength and durability our boards are known for. In fact the LIGHTEST foil boards FMX has ever built, by a margin. Dedicated to performance.

• Toro Tail III – Third iteration of the highly-successful and proven deck triangle tail (invented by FM in 2022) now complemented with an advanced aerodynamic tail exit release on the hull underside resulting in less turbulent airflow, reduced drag, and improved trim stability across all conditions.

+ Faster gybes with a tight radius and more consistent exits.

+ Higher acceleration and top speed ceiling.

+ Tail and hull weight savings due to a reduced foil box area (heaviest section of all foil slalom boards) due to the significant topside cutout of the triangle tail.

• Ultra-compact outlines – Reduced nose and tail width minimize aerodynamic power and boost crosswind top speed potential whilst maintaining rock-solid stability underfoot.

• Revised mast track concave – Optimized air flow across the deck for improved efficiency at high speeds.

• T-Beam curved deck planform / vertical rails – Increases low wind drive, stability at takeoff, and nose trim control at full speed.

• New foil slalom dedicated scoop-rocker line – Easy handling, instant acceleration, and high-speed control in both flat and choppy water, light or strong winds.

• V6 Vector Cuts . New (simple yet effective) cutouts that facilitate a clean water release, quicker planing onto the foil, minimal drag, faster top-end, and smoother touchdowns.

• Foil Tuttle Strong Box – Double the carbon, double the wall thickness, double the strength. The stiffest, strongest box construction available on the market today – exclusive to FMX ensuring a tight foil mast head connection and consistent performance long term.

The Hyperion Pro represents the end result of the most extensive Foil Slalom R&D program the brand has undertaken to date. 

The results from multiple test reports from the team are impressive: the performance gains gen vs. gen with this all-new design, shape & concept were clear and validated from significant testing hours with many different protos (6), sail sizes (4.8-8.7) and wind strengths/sea conditions (5-35 knots, flat and chop/waves). 

The new hulls are not only faster across all conditions but also offer enhanced gybing, greater stability, and improved touchdown behavior. Additionally, they excel in early planing ability and have a wide ‘winning capable’ wind range. 

Overall every aspect critical to high-performance foil slalom racing has been elevated compared to previous generations. The advancements are clear and substantial.
