OUR PROGRAM
HB SURF Foundation takes back your equipment so that it can be redistributed in the form of donations to partners involved in the program.
This equipment is donated to associations, clubs and schools that are committed to making the link with local associations working in the humanitarian field for the underprivileged. Our partners are encouraged by our contract to develop sport through the organization of discovery days. You'll be playing your part in the development and democratization of kitesurfing and wingfoiling, while ensuring you're riding safely and with functional equipment.
Our History
2023
In 2023, we used and created a new dacron assembly, which we called the RXL of Rigid 160 dacron and Light 140 dacron. This new dacron makes our new wings lighter and stiffer. You can find it on all our products of the 2023 range.
The FLAIR II RXL has rigid handles that make the board more powerful and responsive.
The TIDE is the first HB SURF carbon wing foil board. Carbon makes the board stiffer and more reactive.
Our History
2011
It is after all these hours of sessions, these years of competitions, his 2 wolrd Champion titles and above all, this long acquired experience, that Hervé Bouré launched HB Surf. The first brand creating boards exclusively dedicated to the strapless practice. HB Surf was therefore created on July 14th, 2011 under the impulse of Hervé, still today a surf explorer.
Our History
2012
HB Surf Strapless Society is born! If you're a Strapless fan, you've probably heard of this blog that was animating the web ! Today, more than ever, we continue to share our passion thanks to our community. Via the STRAPLESS SOCIETY social medias and dedicated services for members only.
Our History
2013
With the aim of always gaining ground in the discipline, it is during this year that HB Surf's first noseless surf will be created: The Anti 5"4. This exclusive shape has been created to meet the demands of modern freestyle. The unique double swallow allows you to push your limits with ultimate control of the board in both directions !
Our History
2015
The surf exploration continues. From the first day we draw from our surfing roots and of course we introduced in 2015 our first paddle surfboard. The new Regence surf board is the result of our passion for surfing and our commitment to deliver high-performance and technical products.
Our History
2017
We continue to innovate by introducing the patented 3D Hook system which equips the Legacy harness. In its conquest of the strapless market, HB Surf has designed the first kite harnesss specially developed for kitesurf strapless.
Our History
2019
Known for years for our surf boards, we use our experience of surf to develop our first kite, the Legion! This kite has been developed to cover a large demand for any strapless ride.
Our History
2020
With all these years of experience, all these innovations at the service of the discipline, HB Surf has reinvented itself, always faithful to its original roots: THE SURF.
Our rebellious brand, has studied and designed its product for a long time and finally comes out with the FLAIR wing. One of the very first wing on the market, both light and with a self-stable delta profile that reinforces its manoeuvrability and lightness.
We are also specialised in surf boards since several years, and after our recent innovation, we released a brand new support dedicated to wing-riders, the QUEST. Finally a board capable of satisfying your strapless sessions !
Our History
2021
From 2021, we have introduced TRI-RADIAL in all our wings, this technology is derived from sailing. The TRI RADIAL is an extremely precise and complex cut, which allows to improve and fluidify the airflow. The GUIDE is the first HB wing to incorporate the TRI-RADIAL.
Our History
2022
We have improved and optimized the LEGION III kite as much as possible, by integrating the TRI-RADIAL that we had previously introduced in the GUIDE. This cut makes the kite much more incisive and fast for increased responsiveness. This new kite is what allowed us to create the best kite for surfing.

DEDICATED SURFING TECHNOLOGY
Our main obsession is to design the best surf products for all the freedom chasers like us. Our sport is unique in the world and requires commitment, madness and technical skill. We need to have the most precise equipment to face the most violent waters and winds without any strap to control our movements. That's why we develop dedicated surf technology that you'll only find on HB Surf products. This comes from our uniqueness and our strong experience in surfing as a precursor of the sport.
Technology
Anti-flapping
We decided to reduce the flapping by adding 3 mini flexible battens at the trailing edge per side.
These 3 mini battens allow the wing to be always tense, and make it more powerful.
Technology
Lightness, radicalness and absolute solidity
The BIAX bamboo technology allows you to getto a new level. After several years of research and prototypes tested through out the world by our international team, the advanced BIAX construction, combined with the parabolic Paulownia wood rails provide an exceptional structure for our boards.
Technology
Patented surfkite harness
This technological innovation Breveté from Hervé Bouré takesinto account the specific movements and forces of kitesurfing.
The freedom is total, no matter where the kite is located in the window. With this friction-less system, the kite is connected directly to the rotary axis, unlike the traditional kite hook. The freedom is total, no matter where the kite is located in the window. You can finally open your shoulders while surfing and get amplitude for freestyle !
Technology
TRI RADIAL TECHNOLOGY
A TECHNOLOGY BOMB
The LEGION III was developed for all disciplines: Surf, Freestyle, Freeride & Foil
Technology
Control as never before
Designed for riders who want to get the most out of their kite, the new Pilote Bar II is simply perfect. A 100% safe bar, as refined, precise and technical as ever !
The whole Pilote Bar has been refined & lightened to avoid any tangles. Our lines are manufactured to the highest quality standards by the German manufacturer Liros. The new metal pulley and wedge cleat greatly improve untangling, then offering a more precise and secure setting. The new release model is equipped with a double ISO-compliant untangling system.
Technology
Auto-stability, lightness and rigidity
Once again we have used our passion and desire for freedom to create a new style of wingsurfing. Our unique design is centered around a self-stabilizing delta profile and ultralight construction that enhances the maneuverability and lightness in the long downwind surfing that this discipline allows. As always, we focus on technology for the benefit of the strapless discipline.
Technology
Ultra resistant and light construction
The Quest benefits from HB Surf's unique know-how and is produced in the same workshops as our surfkites. Lightness, solidity and a unique handcrafted finish are the key elements of our new wingsurf board.
Technology
Multi-directional carbon
The flow is equipped with a new technology, the multi directional carbon by using recycled multi-directional carbon fibers directional carbon fibers, built around a core of high density foam EPS foam core, precisely shaped and CNC cut.
Combined with our high modulus carbon mast, this results in a lightweight lightweight and super stiff. The Foil, flow consists of a mast, a wing and a and stabilizer made of carbon MD combined with a fuselage made of 6061 aluminum fuselage.
Technology
More control
These handles offer more rigidity to the structure, they allow to increase the wind range and to reduce the fatigue in the arms. Indeed, the handles combined with the ultra compact design allow to pump the arms horizontally.
The handles are removable in case of pass with a key or a socket of 8 mm.
Technology
New Dacron
We have developed a new combination of dacron that we have called the RXL, this combination combines two types of dacrons:
DACRON RIGID 160 : This Dacron is inextensible, it incorporates a radial cut reinforcement and a protective coating that allows a greater pressure on the structure for a reduced section
DACRON LIGHT 140 : This dacron is an extremely strong and light version
This combination of fabrics has been tested in extrem conditions to test the durability of the fabrics.

Designer note
"I have been kiting and designing since the beginning of the sport. Over the years I have always pushed the boundaries of the sport by designing the most advanced products possible and testing them in real and challenging conditions. I don't consider myself a designer but rather a surf explorer who uses design to achieve the ultimate freedom of surfing.
With the same leitmotiv, we wanted to explore the limits of this discipline that is Wing Surfing to push them further and further. All my products are directed towards this unique goal that I will never stop pursuing."
