Proven Performance: SMIK MG Prone Foilboard 5’4″
RRP $1,790 — Now Only $895
The SMIK MG (Matt Gwynne) model is the go-to for riders who want the efficiency of a longer board without sacrificing the agility of a prone setup. At 5’4″, this board offers that crucial extra “squirt” of paddle power to get you into deeper water waves and bumps that smaller boards struggle to catch.
Condition Report:
- Status: Pre-owned / Well-used.
- Structural Integrity: Solid. This board has been used frequently but has no cracks and no previous repairs. It is ready to hit the water immediately.
- History: Previously used with a Foil Drive (FD) unit, making it a battle-tested option for those looking to boost their prone or downwind sessions with a motor.
Why the MG Shape?
SMIK boards are legendary for their construction and thoughtful foil-specific geometry. The MG features:
- Extended Length: The 5’4″ length provides a longer waterline for faster paddling and easier take-offs.
- Nose Volume: Enough volume under the chest to prevent pearling while providing a stable platform for the “pop-up.”
- Chined Rails: Tapered rails that reduce drag and prevent the board from “sticking” to the water during touchdowns or hard carves.
- Foil Drive Friendly: The flat section on the hull and the track positioning make this a fantastic candidate for Foil Drive Gen1 or Gen2 setups.
Specifications:
- Length: 5’4″
- Volume: Approx. 50L (Standard MG 5’4″ spec)
- Construction: SMIK’s signature durable layup—built to handle the torque of a foil and the weight of an e-foil unit.
Who is this for? This is an ideal board for the intermediate foiler looking for a dedicated prone setup, or anyone wanting a cost-effective board to pair with a Foil Drive. It’s a workhorse board that offers premium SMIK performance at exactly half the original price.
