Reedin Flight Attendant Alloy Mast Foil Set V4 2023
From £1,049.00
Reedin Flight Attendant Alloy Mast Foil Set (Collection 4) V4 2023
New design features have been introduced to increase turning, glide, and most of all predictability. Increased predictability helps you advance your riding from learning on flat water through to massive jumps and fully ventilated turns.
The profile, outline, twist and taper have been designed in order to allow for greater stability & efficiency, easy take off at low speed and superior manoeuvrability all while allowing for impressive performance over a very wide range of speeds.
The curved wingtips keep ventilation from moving up when getting close to the water surface, making the FlightAttendant extremely forgiving.
The front wing and rear stabiliser perfectly complement each other which allows for a short fuselage that results in a foil that is amazingly stable and very easy to manoeuvre and will amaze you when effortlessly pumping from one wave to the next.
There are 5 sizes from the 780, 980, 1280, 1480 to the 1880
The 780 is made for riding with a lot of power, at high speed, and works for lighter riders as well.
Made for wave riding and wing freestyle at an intermediate to advanced level, or a kite foiler of any level. This wing can be pushed super hard while remaining predictable and the easy takeoff and fast jump recovery is perfect for freestyle tricks.
Good for tow foiling, high-wind wingfoiling, kiteboarding, wakeboarding, and anything else where you have a lot of power and speed.
The 980 is xtremely versatile allround foil suitable for most riders. The 980 is a blast to play around with in the surf with more glide than the 780 while staying fast and predictable. The go-to foil for many of the Reedin team riders because it handles basically everything.
The 1280 is a breeze. A stable, forgiving platform while allowing for great top speed and turning. This could be your only wing for all conditions. It’s ideal for smaller wave surf-foiling and wingfoiling on 70L+ boards. Fast for its size with great glide and pump. The Go-to foil for 60-90kg riders.
The 1480 feels smaller than the size/surface area would suggest. The glide is great, turning smooth, and it’s surprisingly fast!
The 1480 has a little higher aspect and is the fastest wing for its size. Good in low wind, with really nice glide.
Targeted for downwind winging, it pumps really well, engages super early and is very forgiving when breaching out.
The perfect light-wind foil for advanced riders or intermediates who are ready for lots of progression.
The 1880 is a beast! Incredible low-end lift, it takes very little energy to keep staying up. Awesome for beginners and bigger riders allowing you to practice new manoeuvres at low speeds with manoeuvrability like no other big front wing!

Reedins design goals for the new FlightAttendant
Aspect: The FlightAttendant foil set has a higher aspect ratio to increase the glide/turn ratio. They are also flatter with a less aggressive overall curvature to increase speed and ventilation resistance.
Profile: The profile was chosen based on a few factors- ease of takeoff, speed range, and ventilation resistance. The airfoil on the flight attendant has a very low stall speed and high stall angle. This helps get you on foil easily with a wide range of boards & wing combinations, skill level and conditions. It also helps when landing jumps and pivoting in the pocket.
Front Wings: The wingtips have been slightly flattened and straightened this generation. The airfoil gain in ventilation resistance lets us run less curvature in the tip. The front wings come in 5 sizes ranging from the 780, 980, 1280, 1480 to the 1880.
The 780 and the 980 can both be used for kitefoiling and are listed elsewhere in the KiteFoil section on our site.
For dimensions see the Tech Dimensions Tab
Rear Wings/Stabilisers: There are three sizes of rear stabilisers. The 33cm (Small) stabiliser is matched with the 780, 980 set up. The 38cm (Medium) stabiliser is matched with the 1280 and the 1480 set up and the 46cm (Large) stabiliser is matched with the 1880 set up. The rear stabilisers can be adjusted by one degree by sliding the stabiliser forward or backwards on the fuselage.
Masts: The mast range comes in two options, Aluminium (Alloy) or High Modulus Carbon 85cm Masts. This range is for the 85cm Alloy mast. For the 85cm High Modulus Carbon mast please see elsewhere on our site.
Fuselage: The new fuselage has been revised to reduce weight and drag while increasing modularity. The mast now uses a conical box-style connection for absolute rigidity between mast and fuselage. The tail section has a reduced cross section and is slimmer and the front wing connection is hollowed out to save weight.
