Description
Downwind / Freeride with K-Wing - Pocket Wing
Designed for freedom, engineered for performance. The new ROCKET FREE DOWNWIND board combines glide, volume, and acceleration in an elongated shape, perfectly suited to the striving new sports such as pocket winging and K-Winging.
- Maximum glide and fast take-off
- Ideal for pocket winging, K-Winging, or SUP foiling
- Optimized volume for stability, acceleration, and early take-off
- Light bamboo construction for a very direct feel
The ROCKET FREE range was developed to meet the needs of emerging disciplines focused on freefly and downwind. In these sports, freedom is key: the wing or paddle is only used to take off before being put aside, stashed or flagged out to ride swells and ocean energy alone.
This calls for boards with more length to improve glide and acceleration, along with enough volume to start planing quickly and with stability. Since take-offs in these disciplines are indeed more challenging than in wing foiling, these boards give you the edge you need to get going smoothly.
In this spirit, the ROCKET FREE DOWNWIND builds on the fundamentals of the MIDLENGTH board: natural front/rear balance, stability, and glide, while pushing further. Its longer shape and stretched outline increase glide even more. A rear step and kicktail help build speed quickly and make touchdowns smoother. The shallow cockpit keeps control underfoot without adding excess thickness, and the width-to-thickness ratio strikes the perfect balance between stability and acceleration, even when underpowered.
Compared to the FREE SURF, the FREE DOWNWIND is a more stable board, featuring increased thickness, a wider nose and bottom surface, and squarer rails. The foot pressure is slightly front-biased, following the feel of classic F-ONE boards. It’s designed for riders who prioritize stability and easy take-offs, even in challenging or choppy conditions.
Built with our Bamboo Deck Construction, the board stays light and responsive, while maintaining durability and strength. The feeling of the foil is very direct, and control is absolute throughout the entire session, even at high speeds.
From 6’4” to 7’8” (85 to 124L), the ROCKET FREE DOWNWIND is accessible, versatile, and made for performance whether you’re chasing offshore bumps or looking for easy planing in any condition.
* Downwinding requires physical preparation, proper security devices (ie. leash, flashlight, safety vest), and assistance at sea. Please do not attempt any downwinders alone nor without proper training.
