We will be posting updated content here but for now please find below an overview based on what Unifoil have provided so far, along with some of our own thoughts. 

Why choose the Progression 100?

Optimized for speed & maneuverability

The Progression 100 is engineered for those who crave the thrill of speed and tight arcs.

Whether you're navigating steep, powerful waves or making tight turns on smaller waves, this foil offers stability and control where it matters most.

From the smaller shoulder-high waves to overhead waves, the Progression 100 is said to be in its element picking up where the 125 leaves off. Its design ensures good lift in smaller waves, stable pitch in more powerful conditions, and it eats up speed for breakfast. Overall it will give a rider tons of confidence in critical turns at speed all while still excelling at pumping (especially if you leverage the glide it will generate).

Specifications

  • Span: 824 mm
  • Chord at root: 109 mm
  • Area: 645 cm²
  • Aspect Ratio: 10.5:1

While you might have gathered the 100 is going to be amazing on bigger waves, this baby still can be ridden on smaller days, especially for lighter riders say 75 kg or less. 

Overall if you want to light up your foiling sessions the 100 is a foil you need to consider.

Key features

  • Innovative engineering

Experience an extraordinary blend of speed, glide, and maneuverability - Designed to enhance your ride so you don't have to worry about just managing the foil.

Riding use case.

Patrick Israel from the Unifoil team says "the 100 carries the same DNA as the rest of the Progression line, but with a bit more spice. It’s fast, pumps super easy, and rolls for turns super tight and smooth. All the rider reports so far have been super good. Everyone is loving it". 

"I got a chance to try it and even at 200lbs I was able to pump it a bit, and the turns were insane. But the smaller riders have been lighting it up on this thing. Good surf and fast winging is where this foil will shine" ~ Patrick Israel -  Unifoil Sales and Service Manager

Okay so what sort of conditions should you be considering the 100 for?

Small waves:

Perfect for lighter riders, and intermediate to advanced riders already milking the 125 but on the hunt for more performance.

Medium to large waves:

Ideal for intermediate skill levels and weights. Ride with confidence!

Winging:

Unlock the 5th gear of speed & glide for nice windy days. The 125 has been a wingers crowd favourite and the 100 is predicted to also be loved. If you want to take your winging to the next speed level, unlock speed goals and you want even tighter turns then the 100 is going to be an essential wing in your quiver.

Our thoughts are that even in 15 knots upwards, even a 80kg winger could still use this foil especially if it picks up where the 125 left off. It's going to be giving you more speed, turnability and a tone of confidence so you can turn harder and catch more bumps. 

SUP DW:

Ideal for lightweight riders in good conditions or expert riders ready to conquer the waves.

Wake:

Achieve maximum performance on the first wake - it's time to crank those turns and do those airs. Not recommended for the second wake.
