Code Foils
Australian-designed high-aspect foils built for pure prone-surf glide. Code's S-Series is the reference wing among Gold Coast prone foilers and one of the most-copied HA outlines of the past three years.

About Code Foils
Code Foils was founded on the Gold Coast in 2020 by James Casey and a group of prone-surf specialists frustrated with existing high-aspect wings that were built primarily for wing-foiling and downwind. Code's brief was simple: build the fastest, most-glidy prone-surf wing possible and don't compromise the outline for other disciplines.
The result is the S-Series — a family of thin-profile high-aspect wings (S 700, S 850, S 1050) that dominate Gold Coast, Kirra and Snapper prone-foil sessions. Code's wings are widely regarded as the pure-prone glide reference, and multiple Lift and Armstrong riders have switched to Code specifically for surf sessions.
Code sells direct through their Gold Coast HQ and a small dealer network. Production is small-batch full carbon, and waitlists on the popular S 850 have hit six months during peak Australian summer.

FAQ
How does Code compare to Armstrong for prone surf?
Code's S-Series is faster and glidier top-end than Armstrong HA — Armstrong's HA wings are more versatile across disciplines. For pure prone-surf, most reviewers give Code the edge; for a one-quiver foil, Armstrong wins.
Is Code compatible with other foil systems?
Code uses its own plate-mount fuselage system. Some riders have adapted Code wings to Axis and Armstrong systems via aftermarket adapter plates, but Code recommends running the full ecosystem for best results.
S 700 vs S 850 vs S 1050 — which one?
S 700 for light riders in fast surf, S 850 for the mid-weight all-round (the most-recommended size), S 1050 for heavier riders or slower waves.
