Visit our Tarifa workshop and immerse yourself in hands-on foil design, manufacturing, and innovation — guided by real engineers and riders.
Located in Tarifa, Europe’s watersports capital, the Onix Workshop is where design, testing, and production happen under one roof.
We build on demand — eliminating overstock and allowing real customization based on rider needs. From CAD modeling to lamination and final finishing, every foil is developed locally using carefully selected European materials.
This is not a factory.
It’s a living engineering lab connected directly to the ocean.
We begin with the ONIX philosophy — performance, sustainability, and precision engineering. Explore our product range and understand the design vision that shapes every foil we build.
Dive into aerodynamic profiles, geometry theory, and the fundamentals of foil design. Learn practical 3D modeling techniques using Rhino or similar software to transform a 2D profile into a performance-driven 3D wing.
Before production comes validation. Discover how to use open-source tools like XFLR5 and OpenFOAM to simulate lift, drag, and efficiency — comparing and refining your designs with data-driven insights.
Understand how materials influence performance. We guide you through carbon layups, alloy components, core selection, and resin systems — balancing stiffness, weight, and durability.
Learn how to validate your prototype in real conditions. Measure performance, analyze feedback, and fine-tune your design through structured testing and rider input.
Performance doesn’t end at launch. Master practical repair techniques for edges, delamination, and trailing tips — ensuring longevity, safety, and continued efficiency.
All our foils are designed, tested, and manufactured in Tarifa. Keeping production local allows us to maintain quality control, reduce transport emissions, and stay closely connected to the riders who use our gear.
We prioritize suppliers within Europe to ensure consistent quality, traceability, and more responsible sourcing of carbon, resins, cores, and components.
Through smarter mold systems, optimized processes, and eco-conscious material choices, we reduce waste and carbon footprint without compromising structural performance.
Every foil is produced based on real demand. No overstock. No mass production. This approach allows customization while eliminating unnecessary waste.
Our Exchange Program gives foils a second life. Returned products are inspected, refurbished, and reintroduced into the ecosystem — keeping high-performance equipment on the water and out of landfills.
We actively collaborate with local shapers, seamsters, students, and riders — building not just products, but a connected and knowledge-driven community.
Our Private Online Workshop gives you direct access to the full foil design process — live and personalized. Sessions are hosted live via Google Meet and fully customized to your goals and level.
