Foil designer Andrew from Naish runs through the 2027 foil range — new sizes for the do-it-all Excalibur and mid-aspect Siren foils — plus a deep dive into the brand’s new modular connection system, two years in the making.

0:00 Intro: Naish stand at AWSI with foil designer Andrew
0:08 Starting to release the 2027 line
0:13 Refining and expanding the foil range
0:16 Earlier this year: the Excalibur and Siren launched on a new connection system
0:22 Excalibur: their all-around foil, 10.2 aspect ratio throughout the range
0:30 Does it all — pump foil, surf foil, wing foil, pairwing, downwind
0:37 Great as a one-foil quiver
0:44 Four new sizes coming this fall: 644, 844, 1044 and 1544
0:50 Expanding the range for every discipline, condition and riding style
0:57 The 1544: built at riders’ request for a better pump foil
1:01 Big, high-lift design for extended pumping sessions
1:10 The Siren: their mid-aspect foil, 8.5 AR throughout
1:15 Sizes: 600, 800, 1200 and now 1400
1:21 New 1400 size added for Q3 this year
1:26 Great stability and early lift
1:30 Helps bigger riders get up and flying earlier and easier
1:40 What’s coming in 2027
1:45 Launching Q3 2026
1:47 Also expanding into downwind foils and a new beginner package
1:57 How long did the new connection system take to develop?
2:01 Started when Andrew joined Naish last year
2:06 Previous designer Noah had already worked on it for a year
2:15 Finished and refined over Andrew’s first six months
2:21 About a two-year project altogether
2:25 Similar to the old Scarf joint, but wider and stiffer with M8 bolts
2:35 Huge improvement in stiffness and drag reduction
2:39 Edges removed for a thin, cylindrical fuselage
2:44 A slippery, solid platform that works with any foil in the range
2:52 Buy one fuselage, swap easily between an Excalibur and a Siren
2:54 A modular system for different feels depending on what you want
3:00 Aluminium only for now
3:04 A carbon version is in development
3:07 Top secret, but it’s coming
