IT'S ALL DOWNWIND FROM HERE.
The ROCKET SUP DW COMP is made to go the distance with you. Perfect for long and extensive downwinds in the open seas or along the coasts, this world-class downwind board was designed for maximum paddle speed and effortless glide.
FULL DESCRIPTION
The ROCKET SUP DW COMP is made to paddle fast and to take-off even faster, while still benefiting from superb stability. This board is also designed to catch fast swells while using smaller foils that require a slightly higher take-off speed.
With a narrow width and a slim outline, especially in the nose and tail, this board delivers a super smooth glide, crisp acceleration, great directional stability, and more responsiveness in flight; all leading to an effortless, high-performance downwind session.
The ROCKET SUP DW COMP also benefits from a small step on the hull 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, in conjunction with a higher kicktail to minimize tail-water contact during pumping, creates a clean break to channel the water flow at the back without generating excessive drag when in motion.
The ROCKET SUP DW PRO is ideal for short to medium period bumps (think Mediterranean), while the ROCKET SUP DW COMP will take-off better in longer period swells (think Oahu) that are faster and require a longer and even narrower board.
This board benefits from a HD Foam Carbon Composite construction. This light and stiff construction increases the board’s maneuverability and results in an even more direct feel of the foil. Control is absolute throughout the entire downwind, even at high speeds.
Longer and narrower than any other board in our range, the ROCKET SUP DW COMP is perfect for SUP foiling races, and for daring riders looking to go the extra mile on long open ocean crossings or in big, rolling swells.
* 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.

HD FOAM CARBON COMPOSITE
This sandwich construction (high-density foam + glass and carbon fiber) allows the board to be lightweight and strong, as well as tougher to heel pressures and dings. The high-density foam brings an overall strength to the board.
This construction improves the weight/strength ratio of carbon foil boards which clearly feature among the lightest and best performing boards on the market.
