It is designed for riders who want a clean balance of glide, carving control and predictable pitch, rather than chasing the smallest or fastest tail possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the tail wing we would point many Code riders towards if they want one setup that feels composed across wing foiling, prone foiling, SUP foiling, downwind practice and general surf-style riding. It gives the foil a settled, easy-to-read feel underfoot, which is especially useful when conditions are choppy, gusty or inconsistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the AR Tail Sits in the Code Foils Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AR tail is the more controlled and forgiving option compared with Code’s higher-aspect performance tail designs.
