Description
Built to go further
The ROCKET SUP DW COMP is built for covering long distances in open ocean or along the coast. It's a top-level downwind board, designed for maximum paddling speed and effortless glide, and it takes off even faster without losing stability. It lets you catch fast swells using smaller foils that need a bit more speed. Longer and narrower than any other board in the range, with HD Foam Carbon Composite construction.
HD Foam Carbon Composite · Double step hull · Twin Tracks · 7'8 to 8'4 · 16'' to 17.5'' wide
Who it's for
- Expert downwind riders looking for maximum paddling speed.
- SUP foil racers.
- Anyone doing long open-ocean crossings or riding long, fast swells, like those in O'ahu.
What makes it special

More paddling speed and effortless glide.
02 Slim outline and stretched length
Quick acceleration, great directional stability and more response in flight.
03 Instant take-offs with double step
Refined hydrodynamic flow and two steps in the hull that reduce drag when accelerating and on touchdowns; together with a raised tail, they give a clean release from the water without slowing down.
04 Volume and design built for stability
Despite its narrowness, it maintains excellent stability.
05 For expert downwind riders
It performs at its best in the hands of riders with a lot of downwind experience.
Where it shines: open-ocean downwind, long-period swells, crossings and racing.

Frequently asked questions
Comp or Pro?+
The Comp takes off better in long-period, fast swells, like in O'ahu, which call for a longer, narrower board. The Pro is ideal for short- and medium-period swells, like in the Mediterranean.
Is it for me if I'm just starting in downwind?+
No. F-ONE aims it at expert downwind riders. To get started, the Rocket SUP DW is much more forgiving.
Which foil suits it?+
It's designed for smaller, faster foils that need a bit more speed to take off.
What do I need to go downwinding?+
Physical fitness, suitable safety gear (leash, vest, light or alert system) and, above all, never going out alone or without proper training. Always plan your finishing point.
