Description
Glide for downwind
Previous version of the ROCKET FREE DOWNWIND (reference 77268-1401). An elongated foil board for free flying and downwind, where the wing or paddle is only used to get up on the foil. It builds on the fundamentals of the Midlength, natural balance, stability and glide, with extra length and a stretched outline for even more glide.
Previous version · 6'4 to 7'8 · 85 to 124 L · Bamboo
Who it's for
- Pocket wing, K-Wing or downwind riders looking for this generation of the board in the sizes still available.
- Anyone who wants an elongated shape that takes off easily and glides a lot.
What makes it special
01 More length, more glide
The long shape and stretched outline improve glide and acceleration.
02 Rear step and raised tail (kicktail)
They help you pick up speed quickly and soften touchdowns on the water.
03 Lightly recessed standing area
It keeps control under your feet without adding unnecessary thickness, and the width-to-thickness ratio balances stability and acceleration even with little power.
04 Stable in choppy seas
More thickness, a wider nose and hull and squarer rails than the Free Surf, with slightly forward pressure, for easy take-offs in difficult conditions.
05 Construction
Bamboo deck, light and reactive, with a very direct feel of the foil.
Where it shines: open-sea bumps, downwinders and choppy conditions, with a pocket wing, K-Wing or paddle.
