F-One's benchmark ultra-high-aspect wing — the Eagle 890 is the reference downwind SUP foil and, for advanced prone riders, the current glide champion. The wing every other UHA wing gets compared to.

Quick specs

Type: Front wing — Ultra High Aspect (UHA)
Surface area: 890 cm²
Aspect ratio: ~11
Discipline: Downwind SUP, advanced prone glide
Construction: Full carbon prepreg
System: F-One Phantom mount

The Eagle is F-One's ultra-high-aspect wing — narrower, thinner, and higher aspect than the HA-class wings from Lift and Armstrong. The 890 is the mid-size of the Eagle family and the wing that put F-One at the top of the downwind SUP category.

Its comfort zone is speed. Get the Eagle 890 moving and it glides further per pump than anything else on the market — this is what makes it the reference for downwind runs where you connect bump to bump for kilometres.

Pros & cons

Reference downwind wing — the current glide-per-pump champion
Ultra-high aspect ratio delivers unrivalled top-end speed
Slim leading edge cuts drag and improves connection between bumps
F-One Phantom system is precise and stiff

Not a first foil — demands advanced skills to control at low speed
Narrow low-end window — miss the speed and it drops out
Expensive ($1299+) and Phantom-only

How it surfs

Advanced prone riders have adopted the Eagle for pure glide days, but F-One is upfront that the wing was designed for downwind. Below its speed window the Eagle drops off — it's not a small-wave forgiveness wing.

F-One team riders (Titouan Galea, Robby Naish's former downwind sparring partners) have used the Eagle across the Molokai downwind circuit for the past two seasons, and it's now the wing most sponsored downwinders converge on.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Eagle 890 good for prone surf?+

Only for advanced riders in fast, clean waves. Its low-end window is narrow — for typical mixed prone conditions a mid-aspect or HA wing is more forgiving.

Eagle 890 vs 990 — which one?+

890 for mid-weight riders (65–90 kg) and faster runs. 990 for heavier riders or slower / smaller bump conditions.

Can I use the Eagle with a non-F-One mast?+

No — the Eagle uses F-One's Phantom mount system. Component swaps require the full F-One Phantom ecosystem.
