X-Fire Ltd V2 135
No compromises were made when making this new light wind weapon. This board must plane in 7-knots, but still be able to handle gusts up until 20-knots, which is exactly the type of challenging conditions sometimes seen at world cup venues or national races around the globe. This board does it all with insane light-wind lift, but the control and efficiency to handle stronger winds with ease. There is no comparison between this new design and the 09 XF 135. During the prototype testing, it was almost impossible to sail these two boards at the same time, the speed difference was clear. The same new vee-to-flat release concept as the 122, which for this season sees the large vee have a bigger transition section at the front footstrap and instead of coming to flat straight away, we decided to keep a light vee until just before the tuttle box and then fade into the full flat section releasing off of the tail. This has increased the lift/efficiency and has also increased control over the chop with a more stable ride. Increased volume in the nose and a 5cm longer length has significantly helped sub-planing performance and planing out of the gybing marks. This board will not disappoint.

X-Fire Ltd V2 122
We spent a lot of time and effort into making the 2 biggest boards in the range better and we succeeded. This brand new design concept for the 122 and 135 will set a new standard in the racing industry. Improved scoop-rocker lines along with a new vee-to-flat release concept makes this new shape faster and in more control than the 09 generation. A more parallel outline coupled with a more defined 'rail kink' at the back footstrap yields incredible acceleration and top-speed when planing, but still gives the required surface area and tail width to get going, especially in light winds. Reduced nose deck concave has greatly helped sub-planing ease of use and gives the board an increased sail range possibility, which for 010 sail sizes 7.8 until 9.5 are possible without any problems. A real thoroughbred racing machine for the experts and a great high-performance board for the advanced-intermediate sailors.

X-Fire Ltd V2 112
Multiple test winner from 09 stays with the same basic shape. However, through methodical testing, we improved top-speed and acceleration by increasing the cut-outs slightly, which we found to be a little small in the 09 board. The footstrap positions have also been modified to be more in-line with the bigger boards in the range. This helps light-air performance but at the same time, this board can handle big winds for its' size and a wide range taking sails from sizes 7.0 until 8.4 with ease. The 112 speaks for itself on the water, a clear winner that is easy to control, has effortless top-end and the best acceleration in the business out of the gybing marks. One cannot go wrong with this board in their quiver, it is that simple.

X-Fire Ltd V2 102
A clear improvement over the 09 shape has been achieved with this new design. A rocket! No compromise top-end speed in winds ranging from 18-30 knots and sail sizes 6.0 until 7.8. We have put small cut-outs in the 102 which has increased the light wind performance significantly with more lift and less drag, but at the same time the control and stability when powered has also been improved with a slightly increased vee and cleaner scoop-rocker. This board was the one of the top performing prototypes during the R&D process, a real race winner.

X-Fire Ltd V2 90
The 90 was a complete success with many individual race wins and Top 3 finishes in 09. We tried to improve the shape but couldn't as the board was such a great performer, so it remains with the same design but with some key modifications to the footstrap insert positions. This will improve control in overpowered conditions and make acceleration after the gybe mark easier to initiate. This board has a huge range easily handling sails up to 7.0 and down to 5.5. 6.0 is the most suited size.

X-Fire Ltd V2 80
This board is an exact copy of the world champion shape used to convincingly win the 09 speed worlds in Karpathos. Great balance for a small board and fast acceleration in the gusts with good lift in the lulls. Big range with sail sizes 5.8 until 7.4 usable in speed applications and 5.0 until 6.5 in slalom configurations. This board has good upwind attributes for being the smallest in the range and gets going quickly in underpowered conditions. Top-speed whilst in control, well, that is no problem.
