Product Overview
Launching up onto the foil with ease was the main focus when I shaped the Mako. Compared to the Manta surf foil the Mako SUP foil is longer in order to gain speed under paddle power, as opposed to having the push from a swell or wave.
The Mako is slightly narrower than the Manta but has 10 liters more volume to support the paddler’s standing weight.
The nose has a more sleek and pointy design to be more forgiving and to surface faster if the board purls. The general dimension and foam flow distribution enhance fore and aft stability and the bottom rail chines help to mitigate board catapulting when you touch down and during steep turns.
The contoured deck increases side-to-side stability.

Full PVC Sandwich with Co-Woven Kevlar/Carbon - SIC’s highest end foil construction with a full PVC sandwich wrapping the EPS core (top, bottom, 360 degree rails) for a light, stiff and very durable construction. The board is wrapped in co-woven kevlar/carbon weave as foiling introduces new challenges in terms of to take load from the foil and the impact from the paddle. This construction address weight, strength and durability like few if any other boards on the market. These boards are molded to ensure great lamination strength and that every board is precisely like the master shaped by Mark Raaphorst.
FOIL SUP / SURF / SAIL
SIC has stepped into the foil market with a tight collection of thoroughly tested shapes, high performance construction and beautiful graphic execution. Mark Raaphorst has been one of the leading designers of foil boards developing refining his foil designs for the last 3 years. As with all SIC products these boards have been tested in the waters on Maui as well as put to the test by team riders like Eric Terrien who has also been a pioneer and top competitor in windsurfing, SUP and now foiling. Terrien won a number or races in 2019 on the prototypes which have led to the production designs. Terrien turned heads in April of ‘19 at the Kelt Ocean Race in France where he finished 1st in the foil division and set a French first when he also finished ahead of all of the SUP racers in this prestigious downwind event.
