Product of the Year Awards 2025 | Foil Category

The highly anticipated 2025 Product of the Year Awards Ceremony made its exciting return to this year’s Paddle Sports Show in Strasbourg on September 25, 2024. Featuring a wide array of innovative boats, gear, accessories, and products, the ceremony showcased the latest advancements in paddle sports technology and design!

A big congratulations to SIC Maui for winning the Foil Category with their Downwind Foil Board – the KuNalu!

“Experience the perfect blend of innovation and performance with the KuNalu and take your downwind SUP and light wind wing foiling to new heights.”

The KuNalu downwind foil board specialist is our most performance-driven foil board yet. The KuNalu name has a history with SIC, dating back to 2005 when shaper Mark Raaphorst introduced his first hollow paddleboard, the KuNalu. Now, it is aptly reborn into the modern era of downwind SUP foiling. “Nalu” means wave, and “Ku” has many meanings, one being to stand or rise up, which now appropriately signifies rising above the water.

Crafted with our new Super Fly Lite (SFL) technology, the KuNalu boasts a custom carbon PVC construction with vertical carbon PVC foil tracks and blocks for unparalleled strength and durability. Its sophisticated carbon reveal highlighting lines of the board contrasted with colourful thick rails, emphasizing its performance-driven ride.

KuNalu 8’4

Complete dimensions – 8’4” x 22.0” x 130 L
Weight – 16.5 lbs / 7.5 kg
Max riders weight – 230 lbs / 105 kg
