PRODUCT OVERVIEW

DOWNWIND PERFORMANCE FOILBOARD

Shape

Ultra quick through the water

The Downwind Performance board's outline and rocker are all about maximizing speed. The outline is pointy at both ends and narrow in the middle. A subtle rocker line in the nose and a clean, efficient exit out the tail get you up off the water quickly.

Forward Geometry

The freedom to choose your lift

Designed to work with any brand of foil, the FG design increases responsiveness by placing the foil tracks more centrally and reducing swing weight in turns. This delivers maximum maneuverability and a hyper connected feel on foil.

Technology

The Downwind board is built around a pair of i-beam top to bottom dual stringers. Proprietary carbon fiber foil tracks keyed directly into these stringer fibers give the Downwind board a stiff, responsive build that's a dream to ride.
