SUPFOIL ROCKET SUP DW PRO 18″ F-ONE
Experience the thrill and freedom of riding downwind with the ROCKET F-ONE SUP DW PRO board. Thanks to its sleek, streamlined design and ultralight bamboo construction, you’ll be able to foil faster than ever and enjoy the pure bliss of flying over the waves for hours.
- Incredibly efficient and fast takeoffs
- Exceptional stability at all times
- Impressive glide and speed
- Controlled balance between the legs
- Control and maneuverability even at high speeds
The ROCKET SUP DW PRO was designed to minimize drag and to promote early and efficient take-offs in any conditions, whether it’s flat waters or big open ocean bumps.
This board benefits from the best compromise between length, width and volume so as to remain accessible to the highest number of riders. Its long and narrow shape brings fantastic glide and high speed for paddle starts, while its boxy rails lead to great stability.
With the ROCKET SUP DW PRO, paddle efficiently and get onto foil easily and unbelievably fast all while benefitting from great stability. Volume is distributed to keep the rider’s paddling position very close to the flying position and to minimize changes in the feet and stance. The balance between the front and back leg is excellent, allowing you to put just the right amount of power on the front leg before and during the take-off phase without the board ever nose diving.
The nose is streamlined and keeps enough volume and buoyancy for aggressive paddling and take-off, further helping to get some momentum for easy starts when in the bumps. The tail is pinched in to improve water flow and reduce the drag. The lower tail volume also helps rocking and pumping the board for take-off.
The rails have been optimized for greater comfort during takeoffs and in the air. The bevel on the lower rail makes the board easier to handle during landings and reduces drag at high speeds. The hard edges of the bevel improve water separation, which helps during takeoffs and reduces deceleration on landings. A third edge at the rear provides additional stability and also improves water separation at the tail.
Finally, the flat hull features a small step that directs air towards the rear. This reduces drag and, once again, helps during takeoff.
Once on the foil, the board is designed to be extremely stable. The subtly lowered, cockpit-shaped deck reduces the center of gravity and brings the rider closer to the foil, allowing for excellent board control in flight.
The ROCKET SUP DW PRO benefits from the same advantages as its CARBON counterpart, but features an ultralight bamboo deck construction. By using a single layer of bamboo only in the deck, this construction has been optimized to ensure the board is as light as possible without sacrificing strength and durability. The foil feel is incredibly direct, and control is absolute throughout the entire downwind run, even at high speeds.
Naturally, the ROCKET SUP DW PRO is slightly less rigid than its CARBON counterpart, especially when pumping, but its performance potential on the water is similar, as both boards have the same shape and program.
With its excellent and easy launch capability, this board will satisfy all riders and make downwind riding more accessible for those who have always wanted to try it. It’s also incredible with a wing in light winds and can surf very well, even in very small waves. Launch far from shore on unbroken waves and take full advantage of the board’s maneuverability and direct feel to surf right up to the shore.
It’s available in three different widths: 18” (80.5 L – 110 L), 19” (86 L – 110 L), and 20” (98 L – 130 L). This offers a total of 15 different sizes to choose from, depending on the required volume and length, as well as the skill level of each rider. All boards are equipped with a full deck pad and the Twin-Tracks system for foil compatibility. These Twin-Tracks are positioned further forward to reflect the board’s new balance and, again, to facilitate takeoff, pumping, and flying.
With the perfect balance between stability, accessibility, glide and easy starts, the ROCKET SUP DW PRO will undoubtedly hook you on downwind paddling.
Downwind crossings require physical preparation, appropriate safety equipment (e.g., leash, flashlight, life jacket), and assistance at sea. Do not attempt any downwind crossing alone or without proper training.
