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.

Omen Flux 72L board
Went from a 98L traditional short wide foil board to the Flux 72L, and it looking back. After two sessions on the Flux I am selling my old board and my 8M wing. I am 175lb and this is the lowest volume board I have ever had. I was worried about starts, but has been no problem getting to my knee and standing. I was looking for a smaller downwind style board when I came across the flux. It’s like a down wind board with the pin tail chopped off. The board accelerates so quickly when pumping I am easily foiling in 12mph on a 6M when I used to have to use a 8M. Best part about this board is I can use it for everything light wind to 40 mph in the Gorge. The 22” width is narrow enough to carry without a handle and the board is very light. The deck pad is very sticky but low profile.
