Jimmy Lewis has been shaping and building boards for over 50 years, beginning with surfboards in 1968 and expanding to windsurf, kite, stand-up, and foil boards. Unique in his field, Jimmy not only designs but constructs each board himself. His expertise lies in achieving the "Golden Ratio," a blend of curves and contours that optimizes board performance across various water sports.
Starting with a homemade surfboard at age 12, Jimmy's journey took him from shaping surfboards in Maui to pioneering in windsurfing and kiteboarding. His boards have set multiple speed records and gained global recognition. Today, Jimmy continues to innovate and shape boards for surf, kite, stand-up, and foil sports, partnering with Kinetic to meet the growing demand and ensuring that his boards remain at the cutting edge of performance.
After using an old Superfly for Gen2 prototyping and testing, it's use in the Gen2 release video saw an influx of enquiries for the boards. Once Jimmy linked that the demand was coming from Foildrivers, it only made sense to refine the shape even more.
The Foil Drive Approved range is designed to highlight products that work well with Foil Drive.
Consideration goes into connectivity, hull shape, size and dimensions, construction and more.
The SuperFly FD is the ultimate prone foilboard, with lots of volume in a compact form and the “seaplane” bottom for smooth and easy re-entries, the SuperFly FD provides excellent paddling and take-offs, with excellent sensitivity and low swing weight when up on the foil, as well as a perfect platform for mounting the Foil Drive Gen 2. The beveled chine rails make lifting off and touching down smooth and effortless.
