F-ONE ROCKET SUP DOWNWIND FOIL BOARD

ROCKET SUP DOWNWIND As the most accessible board in the freshly redesigned F-ONE’s SUP downwind board range, the new ROCKET SUP DW is ideal for riders of all levels looking to dive into the world of downwind SUP foiling. Stable and accessible Refined shape for more glide and ease during take-off Intuitive and comfortable ride Controlled front/back leg balance Ultra-light bamboo construction SIZES DIMENSIONS VOLUME  WEIGHT 7’0 213 x 49,6 cm 7’0 x 19.5’’ x 5.7’’ 100 L TBC 7’2 218 x 50,8 cm 7’2 x 20’’ x 6’’ 110 L TBC 7’5 226 x 53,3 cm 7’5 x 21’’ x 6.1’’ 120 L TBC 7’10 238 x 55,9 cm 7’10 x 22’’ x 6.3’’ 135 L TBC 8’2 249 x 57,2 cm 8’2 x 22.5’’ x 6.4’’ 140 L TBC   With five available sizes (19.5″ to 22.5″ wide, 100 to 150L in volume), this board brings a balance of performance and user-friendliness. Thanks to its new shape, the ROCKET SUP DW packs more volume into a narrower design, offering enhanced glide and stability without compromising ease of use. These boards are very stable thanks to their parallel outline and very boxy rails in the central part. In turn, they have a lot more glide, making them much easier to paddle and take-off with. With a slightly revised nose and bottom, the ROCKET SUP DW is more tolerant and user-friendly during the take-off phase as well. A large kick at the tail lets the rider pump the board without plunging the tail in the water at every pump. A second small step on the hull was added closer to the tail, on top of the one already present in front of the twin tracks. These two steps effectively reduce drag during take-off accelerations and touchdowns. The second step helps create a clean break to channel the water flow at the back without generating excessive drag when in motion.  It will also limit the speed drop on occasional touchdowns. Once on the foil, the ROCKET SUP DW is extremely intuitive, stable and comfortable thanks to an ease to pump and turn. The subtle, recessed cockpit-like deck is now a bit more pronounced, packing a bit more volume in the front and back, and bringing you closer to the foil, leading to excellent control of the board in-flight. With its outstanding and easy take-off abilities, this board will satisfy all riders and make downwind further accessible to those who always wanted to try. It is also incredible with a wing in lighter winds, and it can surf really well, even in very small waves. Take off far outside on non-breaking waves and make the most of the board’s maneuverability and direct feeling to surf until the shore break. The ROCKET SUP DW benefits from an ultra-light Bamboo Deck Construction. Using a layer of bamboo only on the deck, this construction has been optimized to guarantee the board is as light as possible, all while ensuring strength and durability as well. The feeling of the foil is super direct, and control is absolute throughout the entire downwind, even at high speeds. A double rail saver as well as a reinforced construction along the rails and near the cockpit, protect the board from impacts and paddle hits. All in all, the new ROCKET SUP DW benefits from the best compromise between length, width and volume so as to remain accessible to the highest number of riders and to bring fantastic glide, high speed for paddle starts, and great stability. * 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.
