F-One Rocket SUP Downwind Foil Board 2022
IN A NUTSHELL...
The ROCKET SUP DOWNWIND is a fantastic SUP board to surf, fly above the ocean swell, and experience wonderful sensations of glide at each downwinders.
Design details
Once in the air, shorter board length directly translates into more maneuverability and a more efficient pumping. However, there still needs to be enough volume to take on the waves, so we have placed maximum volume under the rider’s chest to encourage an easy paddling and take-off. The well-proportioned outline allows an even volume distribution, which in turn brings stability both in the water and in the air.
The ROCKET sup downwind is playful and easily maneuverable thanks to its compact shape and narrow tail. The distinctive kick-tail and pronounced double concave provide an easy release, even if the board touches the water while flying. The concave deck lowers your center of gravity and brings the feet closer to the foil, thus allowing you to naturally position yourself and to better control the board once in the air. It also helps to move your knees and feet through and to stand up while taking-off.
The ROCKET sup downwind is now more rigid and has been further optimized for an even better pumping, precision, and control. The outline has been slightly modified to reduce the volume at the nose and tail, leading to an even better reactivity and handling of the board in the water. The rocker has been adjusted to bring more comfort while in-flight and to improve sup downwind and pumping abilities. The Full Bamboo construction and the Double Bamboo deck create a highly resistant, durable, and light shell all-around.
Overall, the ROCKET sup downwind is very balanced and maneuverable in all phases of sup downwind foiling. This board will help you catch any waves, and you will be able to glide down comfortably and easily with only a minimal number of strokes. It is responsive, stable, easy to take off with, and will bring incredible control throughout the entire ride.
The ROCKET sup downwind is now available in four sizes. The 4’2 is ideal for experienced riders, while the 4’6, 5’0 or 5’6 will be more suited for beginner, intermediate or heavier riders. All are equipped with a full pad and the Twin-Tracks system for foil compatibility. The 4’2 and 4’6 also come with inserts for two sup downwind footstraps.
Tech specs
FULL BAMBOO CONSTRUCTION
Bamboo fibers are highly resistant and light. The Full Bamboo construction uses natural properties of bamboo veneers placed between layers of glass fibers to create strong, durable and light shell for the entire boad.
DOUBLE BAMBOO DECK
An extra layer of bamboo is located in the stance area to make the even more resistant to local heel pressure and dings. This results in light, strong and responsive boards to enjoy session after session.
BEVELED RAILS
Beveled rails on foil boards reduce the width of the hull compared to the deck. THis reduces the friction when the board touches the water and helps with touch down recovery.
TWIN TRACKS
The twin track system with lateral spacing of 90mm is becoming an industry standard.
