OXZAFuselage selection guide: FU600 / FU700 / FU860 / FU1000
Length
| Fuselage | Length | Character | Pair with |
|---|---|---|---|
| FU600 | 600 mm | Compact, reactive, tight turns, freestyle, speed | C wings, small A wings, R |
| FU700 | 700 mm | Core all-around range | Any A or C wing — the default |
| FU860 | 860 mm | Glide, stability, broad utility | L wings, A 800–1100, downwind |
| FU1000 | 1000 mm | Race windfoil, maximum stiffness | R / S wings, windsurf race |
Think of fuselage length as the wheelbase. Short is a go-kart; long is a touring car. Neither is wrong — match it to the wing and the ride.
Connection
- T8 — keep compatibility with SAB / Phantasm-style gear. Ships today in all three lengths.
- OX — the REVSTAR quick-connect. Same three lengths, plus FU1000.

Material
| Code | Material | Why pick it | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL | 7075-T6 aluminium | Durable, proven, best value | Heaviest; rinse after salt |
| CF | Carbon fiber | Lightweight | Mid price; treat the surface with care |
| TI | Titanium | Maximum stiffness, corrosion-proof | Highest price |
Prices direct: aluminium from $425, carbon from $450, titanium from $900. See the fuselage catalog for the full table.
Upgrade path
Start on AL. When you know your length, move to TI in the same length and connection — the wings and mast stay. This is the single most cost-effective upgrade in the system because the fuselage is the part that ties everything together.

Questions
Does a longer foil fuselage make it more stable?
Yes. A longer fuselage puts the stabilizer further from the front wing, which damps pitch and increases glide stability. A shorter fuselage reacts faster and turns tighter.
Aluminium, carbon or titanium fuselage — which should I buy?
Aluminium 7075-T6 is durable, stiff and the best value. Carbon saves weight. Titanium is the stiffest and most corrosion-resistant and is what OXZA test riders run. Material does not change fit.
What is the FU1000 fuselage for?
Windsurf-foil race. It is titanium-only and OX-only, built for maximum stiffness under high load. It takes ST-S stabilizers only.
