DOWNWINDER
ENDLESS FLIGHTS
Our Downwinder was developed for one purpose only: To paddle on the foil as easy as possible and to surf any kind of swell as long as possible. The fascination of downwind foiling takes on a whole new dimension with this board.
The Downwinder is available in 5'10“ and 6'2“ and has been completely optimized for downwind foiling. The shape is based on a SUP race board and helps you to get on the foil even in the smallest swell with maximum control, so you can keep on flying as long as you want!
The stretched outline allows you to use smaller foils and fly long distances at higher speeds. The increased volume in the nose area makes the board easier to launch in difficult conditions. The low deck reduces the thickness of the board and supplies a more direct feeling to the foil.
The round nose and full rails turn into a beveled rail towards the tail and make the board very easy to control at touchdown. The board is also easy to lift again in order to be able to keep on flying. Due to the slimmer outline towards the back, the surface area is reduced around the tail, which ensures that the board does not slow down during touchdowns and remains flying.
The foil tracks are pushed far forward, therefore extreme high aspect wings can be used as well. It also allows to adjust the position to your body weight, foil and own preferences. In order to have less resistance when paddling and a non-interrupted deck pad, there are no handles on the bottom and the deck.
This board is completely geared towards the latest foil designs and will take your downwinding to a new level. Comes in our strong an and super light BXF_Biax Fibre layup.
KEY FEATURES –
Far forward foil tracks for the use of high aspect foils
Rounded rails in the front of the board prevent clipping on touchdowns, beveled rails in the rail for better release when getting on the foil
For more stability, direct connection to the water, early flight and maximum leverage for pumping and turning
Tail kick for easier pop-up and controlled touchdowns
Stretched line for more speed and smaller foils
Extremely large volume in the nose for better pumping in difficult conditions
When combined with the Sandwich construction, this high quality Full Biax Glass and full PVC specification provides an optimized weight / stiffness / flex ratio.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
- Absorbs force from impact extremely well due to 45 / 45 degree weave, and achieves maximum strength via an extra layer of fibres on top with a 90 degree weave
I have used this board on flat water in calm and very windy conditions. I really like this board it handles really well, is a pleasure to paddle and seems quite quick. one of the reasons for choosing this board was it is designed for lighter weight paddlers, it really does fit the bill in that respect. All in all a brilliant board. In addition the service I received from Poole Harbour Watersports was excellent.
Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size and had to return for an exchange, couldn’t speak highly enough of the service I received being kept updated along the way and the new coat being dispatched as soon as it was back in stock. Thank you
