Lift Foils Back Wing

The Lift Foils Back Wing is a tail stabilizer offered across five distinct series — Glide, Surf V2, Carve, Flow, and Florence X — each tuned for different riding styles within the Lift hydrofoil ecosystem. Lift Foils, based in Puerto Rico, designs foils for surf, downwind, wing, and eFoil disciplines. Rather than a single product, this listing covers thirteen stabilizer options spanning those five families, with surface areas ranging from 20 square inches up to 48 square inches. The number in each model name corresponds to its surface area in square inches, making it straightforward to compare sizes across series.

Each series uses a different combination of fuselage length, wing profile, and angle of incidence to prioritize a specific handling characteristic. Fuselage lengths range from roughly 7.7 inches on the smallest Carve to over 12 inches on the Flow and Surf V2 models. The result is a modular tail-wing menu that lets riders fine-tune rear-wing behavior without switching front wings or masts.

• 20 Carve: 20 in² (129 cm²) surface area, 7.7" (19.6 cm) fuselage
• 26 Carve: 26 in² (168 cm²) surface area, 8.1" fuselage
• 33 Carve: 33 in² (213 cm²) surface area, 8.8" fuselage
• 25 Glide: 25 in² (161 cm²) surface area, 10.6" fuselage
• 36 Glide: 36 in² (232 cm²) surface area, 11.2" fuselage
• 21 Flow: 21 in² (135 cm²) surface area, 12" (30.5 cm) fuselage
• 48 Surf V2: 48 in² (310 cm²) surface area, 12.3" fuselage
• Available series: Glide, Surf V2, Carve, Flow, Florence X
• Price range: USD 252–330 depending on model

The breadth of this lineup means there is a tail wing here for nearly every Lift rider profile. The Surf V2 models (38 and 48) pair extended fuselage lengths with larger surface areas to deliver stability and forgiveness, making them a natural starting point for newer foilers or riders who want an easy, balanced feel across disciplines. The Carve series targets experienced surf-foil riders: shorter fuselages combined with winglets and a positive angle of incidence produce tight-radius turns with more front-foot feedback. The 20 Carve, the smallest in the entire lineup, suits aggressive surfers who want minimal drag and a lively, skatey feel on the wave.

The Glide series occupies the middle ground, offering efficient, balanced flight suited to pumping between waves and downwind runs. The Flow series extends fuselage length further while reducing surface area, creating a tail that can be sized down without losing pitch stability — useful for riders transitioning from larger stabilizers toward a more performance-oriented setup. The Florence X models, developed in collaboration with John John and Nathan Florence, blend traits from the Glide, Carve, and Flow families. The Florence 21 X pairs a medium-length fuselage with a low angle of incidence for extended glide between bumps, while the Florence 20 X refines tail geometry for added hold and grip at speed.

Within Lift Foils' catalog, back wings sit alongside front wings, masts, and fuselages that share the brand's proprietary connection hardware. Riders typically pair a back wing with a Lift front wing from the same or complementary series — for example, a Glide tail behind a Glide or Surf V2 front wing for freeride efficiency, or a Carve tail behind a surf-oriented front wing for tighter turns. The Florence X tails are part of the broader Florence Collection, which also includes dedicated front wings like the Florence 130 X.

Compared to tail wings from other foil brands, the Lift system is proprietary — these stabilizers are not cross-compatible with Axis, Armstrong, or other third-party mast-fuselage platforms without adapters. Riders already invested in the Lift platform will find this tail-wing menu one of the more extensive in the industry, covering everything from high-drag stability tails to minimal, low-drag surf stabilizers under a single connection standard.
