Makani CR
F4 Makani CR - Full Double Surface Race Wing
When something is created with true passion and intent — it shows. Meet the all-new F4 Makani CR.
The Makani CR was born out of a collaborative development process bringing together our team riders, advisors, and designers with a clear objective: to set a new standard in wingfoil racing performance, innovation, and material efficiency.
The result speaks for itself.
In its very first official competition outing, the Makani CR powered Sean Herbert to victory at the New Zealand Wingfoil National Championships, marking an immediate step forward in race wing performance.
Built for Racing
The Makani CR is a full double surface race wing, designed specifically for wingfoil racing where efficiency, control, and speed define the outcome.
Every detail has been carefully considered.
From the aerodynamic interaction between the inner and outer canopy surfaces, to the refined airflow management and pressure distribution, the Makani CR delivers exceptional forward drive, stability at speed, and control across the entire racecourse.
The result is a wing that feels incredibly efficient, stable, and fast — without compromising low-end power or usability.

Engineered Without Compromise
The development of the Makani CR involved countless hours of digital simulation, on-water testing, and iterative refinement.
We focused on every aspect of the wing:
- A new evolution of our Carbon Twist Lock (CTL) boom system, delivering a precise, rigid connection with clean ergonomics
Carefully selected high-performance materials for the leading edge and strut, optimizing stiffness-to-weight ratio
Advanced double surface canopy design, balancing airflow, pressure stability, and drag reduction
Continuous refinement of canopy tension, profile, and load distribution
All of this work results in a wing that is super light, perfectly balanced, and exceptionally fast.
Why We Get Stoked
The Makani CR represents a major step forward in wingfoil racing.
It’s not just about top speed — it’s about efficiency through the entire race, clean power delivery, stability when fully powered, and confidence in transitions.
Seeing the wing perform at the highest level right out of the gate — and already winning at a national championship — confirms what we felt throughout development.
This is a wing built to push the level of the sport forward.
Available Sizes
The Makani CR is offered in a complete race quiver:
