F-ONE ROCKET FREE DOWNWIND

ROCKET FREE DOWNWIND

It’s all downwind from here

Designed for freedom and engineered for performance, the new ROCKET FREE DOWNWIND board combines glide, volume, and acceleration in an elongated shape, perfectly suited to fast-growing disciplines such as pocket winging and K-Winging.

Maximum glide and fast take-offs
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
Ref. 77268-1401

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 more challenging than in traditional wing foiling, these boards give riders the edge they need to get going smoothly.

Following this philosophy, the ROCKET FREE DOWNWIND builds on the fundamentals of the MIDLENGTH board: natural front-to-back balance, stability, and glide, while pushing them 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, while 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. Foot pressure is slightly front-biased, following the classic F-ONE board feel. It is designed for riders who prioritize stability and easy take-offs, even in challenging or choppy conditions.

Built with our Bamboo Deck Construction, the board remains light and responsive while maintaining durability and strength. The foil feel is very direct, and control is absolute throughout the entire session, even at high speeds.

Available from 6’4” to 7’8” (85 to 124 L), the ROCKET FREE DOWNWIND is accessible, versatile, and performance-driven, whether chasing offshore bumps or looking for easy planing in any condition.

FULL BAMBOO CONSTRUCTION

Bamboo fibers are highly resistant and light. The Full Bamboo construction uses the natural properties of bamboo veneers placed between layers of glass fibers to create a strong, durable, and lightweight shell for the entire board (deck and bottom).

DOUBLE BAMBOO DECK

An extra bamboo layer (Double Bamboo Deck) is located in the stance area to increase resistance to localized heel pressure and dings, resulting in light, strong, and responsive boards session after session.

TWIN-TRACKS

The twin-tracks system with a lateral spacing of 90 mm is one of the industry standards.
