Description:

The Flux has been refined for riders looking to progress their prone foiling or wingfoiling in waves. Due to the efficiency of the outline and hull design, expect to be able to ride a board of at least 25% smaller volume in the same conditions

The length combined with the wide nose & tail provides stability when paddling into a wave or getting up with a win while the low drag, semi-displacement hull makes for ultra easy takeoffs and smooth touchdown recoveries.

The design also provides extra lift when the board is submerged, meaning less force from the wing is required to get up to the surface in low power condition. The Flux truly is the best of both worlds, more low end in a higher performance package.

The large bevels and slim outline provide extra clearance at high bank angles, while the surfboard inspired rail geometry makes the arc of your turn is not thrown off if touched down.

Features:

NON-LINEAR SCALING

Every size of the Flux excels in prone and wing foiling and is entirely focused on increasing the performance of intermediate and advanced riders. This is especially noticeable in the larger sizes whose shapes have not been compromised to suit beginners learning to wing.

Depending on rider weight and skill, each size fills a unique niche and has been designed accordingly. The smaller boards have a proportionally wider shape to provide sufficient deck space and volume. As the size increases, the outline is slimmed down, especially in the nose and tail. This reduces swing weight and aerodynamic drag while scaling the volume and length required to get up to foiling speed with less swell or wind energy.

ERGONOMIC DECK

The deck is comfortable and secure; zero-rocker and light concave through the standing area provide direct heel to toe pressure and a consistent feel when using any foil.

TOUCH DOWN PERFORMANCE

Glide right through the most aggressive touchdowns with the Flux's hydrodynamic hull. Compared to other boards it barely feels like you've come off foil.

MADE IN THE EU

The Flux is built to last. The Appletree factory in Portugal applies a full carbon layup over a CNC cut closed-cell foam core. Vacuum resin infusion technology is used to saturate the cloth and achieve the ideal fiber to resin ratio to optimize stiffness and durability. This process is what allows Appletree to create a permanent bond to their proprietary foam core, and uniquely results in a board that will not be damaged by water ingress - even if the outer skin is damaged. Along with their world renowned track reinforcing tech, the Flux is a board you can rely on to maintain peak performance for years to come.

LOW DRAG HANDLE

A mini fin provides a streamlined and lightweight handle for carrying the larger boards. The FCS system allows the fin to be reversed to provide two handle positions to balance a range of foil mounting positions.

An FCS II box and G10 fin come standard with every 60L, 72L, and 84L Flux.

    new board updates!

    Posted by kareem on 19th Sep 2024

    Just got another 84l board and there's been a few improvements including tracks moved forwards (already forward enough but even more room now), rail shape a little sharper at the back which means more stable in choppy water, more texture on grip pad, and a touch more volume in the front. Liked it before, now like it even more :-)

    Now I know why everyone is praising this board.

    Posted by Philip Klawitter on 31st May 2024

    Hands down, this is the easiest water start for a board of this size. I'm pretty lightweight (60 kg), so I chose a 4'5", 40-liter board. That is 66.7% of my body weight. I felt it was the perfect choice for a semi-sinker that could be used in light wind conditions. Like everyone else, I bought this board after studying all the information I could find. The official Omen videos were pretty useful in helping me choose the right size for what I was looking for. So I bought this board to travel with and be able to perform in all conditions. The board is made with the appletree construction, so I knew it was able to withstand air travel, even functioning without the need for quick repair in the event of rough handling by the airport staff. Also, I recently learned it doesn't need a vent plug! So it's even better for those sudden pressure drops. Closed-cell foam is the way to go. Omen is for sure much more than just hype. I was able to get up on foil on my first try, first pump.

    A sinker board for the big guy

    Posted by Jason Martino on 10th Apr 2024

    60L is 60% of my 100kg weight without wetsuit and gear. I'm riding in fresh water in Chicago so not a lot of extra buoyancy. On my first couple sessions in flat water, I needed over 20mph wind to get up on a 6m wing and a 1500 sq cm foil. Lookup "omen flux sinker start" on YouTube to see how to get up using the Stinkbug method. Not too hard once I figured it out but it does take some reps. Once I get enough wind and the nose pops up, I basically start pumping the wing until I can get my front leg up and stand. Once there, the board planes and pops up very easily. Now the fun begins! Extra responsive, gybes are much easier, pumping is much easier. It only comes down if the wind totally dies because I can pump it with my feet and sail until I hit another wind pocket. Smaller board means less windage so it glides farther and goes upwind more easily. I'm 55 and not very athletic. Basically all one needs to use this board is the ability to gybe and a couple sessions learning the stinkbug.

    nice!

    First session in rowdy and cold conditions (55f and 30-50mph winds)... coming from a 99l armstrong board, the Flux was more difficult to get going as my first sinker board (-15l) and 21" vs. 28" wide. But for a first session was starting to get used to it. The 'canoe' shape doesn't get stuck in the water when hitting chop, and feels like it slices through the water getting onto foil. Looking forward to spending more time on this new and progressive shape!

    Wow !! I found the unicorn !

    Posted by Chaz @ Big Dawgz on 30th Dec 2023

    ok Big Dawgz, I have found a unicorn !! I have had a few sessions on the Omen Flux board and it is sooo good. This board is a mash up of a mini simmons surfboard , mini downwind wing board and free style wing board , maintains a length at 5’2 and width 21.5 so fast in the water. They did go too thick on the foam , so not corky at all. It has good float and stability and the direct feedback from the foil is excellent . Many boards that try to be everything typically do none of them well but this board is the exception. So yes, this board does everything well: pumps, fast on foil, hard turns , surfs and free style jumps ( smaller sizes). i started with the 84L Omen flux (5’11 x 21.5) and man was it fast on foil and responsive in light wind. At 21.5 wide it was so stable above and below water. Paired with progression unifoil made for a great combo. After liking what this board has to offer i made a leap and picked up the 60L model ( 21.5 x 5’2) . i was nervous about this decision because my smaller pizza box style boards were so pitchy and a struggle to manage in the ocean chop. After my first session it was game on. Not only was the board very stable, fast on foil it was so easy to jibe, tack ride swell etc. It felt like I was riding a prone setup and I’m sure i could use this for prone foiling. At 100kg, i never would have guessed I would be on such a small responsive board. Well, I guessed wrong and this will be daily driver not just a high wind board. Also, because it’s fast on foil, it creates potential to downsize my foil and wing in typical conditions. This is the board I have been waiting for.

    Wow!!! So amazing, will be a disrupter

Paired with my progression unifoils, it made for a great combo. It really matched the speed of these foils. After liking what this board has to offer i made a leap of faith and picked up the 60L model ( 21.5 x 5’2) . i was nervous about this decision because my smaller style boards from last year were so pitchy and a struggle to manage in the ocean chop. After my first session on the 60L, it was game on. Not only was the board so stable, fast on foil and was so easy to jibe, tack, ride swell etc. It felt like I was riding a prone setup and I sure i could use the flux for prone foiling too. At 100kg, i never would have guessed I would be on such a small responsive board. Well, I guessed wrong , this board rocks and this will be daily driver, not just a high wind board. This setup is so fast on foil, I foresee I will be able to downsize my foil and wing which is exciting. In this video i’m on the progression 170 (1097 sq cm) but could have easily been on the progression 125 (800 sqcm) I have a feeling this board will just keep getting better and has a lot to teach me in my foiling progression. I also plan to use it for my Gen 2 foil drive when it arrives. Hat offs the Omen foils and apple tree boards for leading the future in foil board design and construction. Can’t wait for the Flux Capacitor board to be released ?

    Ok, so I have been looking for a wing foil board with these dimensions for a while and with a downwindish design flare to it. Most boards were longer than 6ft and wider (23ish) with flattish bottoms, not bad but I was looking for more. These boards had better dimensions , were more to my liking also made by Appletree so I knew they were bomber construction. I'm 100kg and decided to try the 84L. Even though it was narrow (21.5) it was not tippy and wow does this board take off, was on foil so fast even in light wind 9-10 ish. The rail to rail action is so easy and fun in the surf too. So I was convinced this was the unicorn i was looking for, so I tried the 60L board even though it seemed to be on the small side. Most of my small short sinker board were tippy and sometimes a struggle to get going. This board was none of that. Below the surface it was so stable and could even control it while it was submerged. The nose would get to the surface fast and in a controlled manner. Once on the surface it was off to the races, so fast on foil. Being on a this board and small foil made this feel like a true prone experience and setup was as light as one. So responsive and fast and touch downs just bounce off the surface. It blew my mind and I couldn't stop smiling after may session !! Their design is like nothing else on the market. I recommend you give them a try, you will not be disappointed.

    Highly efficient shape with incredible build quality

    Posted by Gerrit on 11th Oct 2023

    With only a few sessions under my belt, it is clear that the team at Omen have knocked it out of the park with the Flux. While a bit more weight sensitive during starts, the Flux gets planing quickly and efficiently for such a small and narrow board (I ride the 48L at 72kg). Going upwind, I've found that I can really rake the board over without fear of having the rail hit the water given the narrow outline and the rail shape. Jibes and tacks seem easier and I can really carve through my maneuvers with confidence. Jumps are a breeze and the nose shape really helps recover from touchdowns quite well. The construction is top notch as should be expected from Appletree and their board building pedigree. My only suggestion for future iterations would be to sacrifice a bit of weight and add more footstrap inserts to accommodate a wider variety of riding styles.
