The Beginning of the Exocet Story
How a passion for windsurf engineering became a 40-year legacy of board innovation.
The Concept
The Sonic is built for paddlers who want to cover ground — lakes, coastlines, rivers, lagoons. Pack it into a backpack, get to the water, and go.
A stretched nose and centred standing position optimise the Sonic for sustained pace — clean displacement, minimal bow resistance, and momentum that carries between strokes.
The square tail provides lift and support across the full session, and allows a stance shift rearward for control in downwind and following-sea conditions.
See It. Ride It. Feel It.
Design DNA
Fusion Composite Dropstitch construction inflates to 20 psi — delivering more stiffness and a more responsive feel underfoot compared to single layer construction, with less drag in the water.
