FREERIDE><FREERACE >> MAKES YOU A FASTER SAILOR
The Blast is the perfect partner for freeride bliss – doing everything you ask of it and more! Whether you are just getting comfortable in the footstraps, taking your first planing jibes or want to be the fastest freerace guy at your spot – the adaptability and turn-ability of the blast makes it truly your ultimate freeride/freerace board.
EAGLE or BLAST - which one is the right freeride board for you?
Where you come from >< Where it will take you
1) EAGLE: IT'S ALL ABOUT PLANING
Where you come from: you had your first Windsurfing experience and are capable of staying upwind. There is no other board which will help you to experience the gliding/planing sensation in such a short time than the EAGLE.
Where it will take you: besides getting planing, jibing is the second strength of the EAGLE. But it's not just made for learning to (power)jibe but will even accompany you up to freerace blasting and laydown jibing
2) BLAST: MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE WITH MINIMUM EFFORT
Where you come from: you are comfortable of sailing in the foot straps then the BLAST is your performance machine.
Where it will take you: the BLAST will instantly make you a faster sailor. Since it's also very easy to jibe it will be your partner from your first power jibes up to pro level laydown race jibes. Partnered with a high performance fin and a freerace sail you might even become the fastest guy at your spot with the BLAST, whilst still maintaining the comfort of a freeride board.
When designing the BLAST, the key concept was to make a board with maximum performance, yet minimal effort that maintains control over the widest possible wind range. But how could we achieve a board that works in such a wide range of conditions, with such a broad range of user levels?
Firstly, the BLAST follows the same VOLUME YET CONTROL CONCEPT like the EAGLE. This means you can easily choose a 10 liter bigger board compared to other brands without losing any control in overpowered conditions. By gaining some more liters, the board feels more stable underfoot in non-planing conditions, and also gets planing sooner than boards with less liters without compromising the high-end performance and control.
Additionally, due to the thin rails, the BLAST can be gybed aggressively in experienced hands but also feels easy and smooth for intermediate riders due to the wide tail. This allows you a steady progression through all levels of the jibing process, without ever "out-growing" the board.
And finally, the racier/boxier rails and a further outboard strap position allow the rider to push harder to let the board fly over the fin for increased top speed. The tail cutouts further reduce the drag when going full speed to give you the edge over your friends.
Yet same as with our full-on racing FALCON_FIN boards maximum control and predictable behaviour over a maximum wind-range are also the key assets of the BLAST.
With this wide range of features, the BLAST has been expertly crafted to provide endless hours of performance freeride><freerace fun and accompany you on your windsurfing journey to become a faster sailor.
The BLAST is available in two constructions: our PREMIUM SLS TECHNOLOGY or the standard EPOXY SANDWICH TECHNOLOGY.
2 TECHNOLOGIES

from 124 reviewsPreferring not to throw away my (now discontinued) North Red boom which had a broken cuff, I called H2O to see if there was any way to salvage it. I spoke with Matt who was very knowledgeable and helpful but came off the phone somewhat resigned that I might not be able to get the part. However to my surprise a little while later I was blown away (with a force 5) when I got a call to tell me he’d sourced one for me. And here I am now, a week on, with all the bits I need to get back on the water; whoever said people don’t have time to help others! So the moral of this story is have a little faith and try H2O!
Ordered a 1350 Glide 2.0 to progress on to from my 1750 aero free. Being a heavier rider I've found it's now my go to foil wing, initially a bit harder to get on the foil compared to the aero free but once up it feels completely effort less! Thanks to the team for getting me sorted out 🤙
James, Matt and the H20 Team are absolute gurus of the water sports industry, friendly, helpful and knowledgable. They will always give the right advice and come up with superb deals and first class support, thanks guys for always helping me to make the right decisions over the last 20 + years!
My new mast arrived from H20. Sports and it was so worth the wait. You immediately notice how much stiffer it is compared to the v1 carbon version when riding. The foil feels more responsive and direct .It also glides longer in transition s and riding bumps.
Its well worth the upgrade in my opinion.
I bpught this wing to replacr my Unit 5.5 m wing for tje summer breezes as i never liked using big wings. This wing is really powerful in the low end and allows you to pump really efficiently to get on foil with a bit of technique.
You can size down by half a metre with this wing compared to a Unit.
Its still fast and so good iwhen you roll into a tack.
Perfect quiver would be a 3 m , 4m & a 5 m in the Float for all conditions.
Its a great price too as lower than Dlab and SLS wings but with great performance.
As one of the H2O riders I have really enjoyed the variety of kit H2O have available. Including the Duotone sky surf 35Ltr which quickly become my favourite board because of its shorter and thicker shape while being low in litres it still allows me to get it out the water in some lighter winds. However it comes into its own when the wind is strong and the waves are pumping with its incredible manoeuvrability. Paired with the Duotone units (that are light weight and precisely balanced) wave riding is a dream.
I've been one of those riders who thought one board was enough. Turns out a downwind board has opened up so many more days on the water. I cant believe how easy this beast gets going in 6 knots. I use my 8' board with the 1100 and 1595 Duotone Glide. It's like a whole new sport. Whilst I've tried paddling up, I think I'll stick to winging for now (although can't wait to try the Stash Parawing).
Lots of the benefits of the DLAB Unit but without the price tag. Strong, light, and powerful. It's been great in all conditions, handles really well when over powered. I bought the 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 to cover all eventualities. Personally I prefer the handle option which works really well with my harness. Matt and the team really helpful in deciding on the sizing.
I absolutely love my 65L/4'9" Sky Style SLS Wing Board. I'm about 88kg and it suits me for most conditions. Easy planing, great in waves, sold for jumping. Incredibly light, especially when paired with a DLAB Carve 800 foil and mast, which makes it a great overseas travel option too. Carbon finish and colours look great (picture on website doesn't do it enough justice). Not a big fan of the front foot straps overlapping but going to put the new v-strap on which will sort this.
I usually go for the DLAB or SLS Concept Blue Units but this wing has had great reviews so thought I'd give it a try. Great power delivery and handling, really light weight but solid construction. The wing’s dihedral and tension profile give amazing flight balance so although designed for wave/downwind, I think this wind would suit all levels. Bought teh 5m for the summer but bought a 4 ready for the winter swell.
The 2025 Unit is a good allrounder fast, stiff & light wing.
I prefer to size down my Unit as they are really grunty wings.
They also have great top end aswell and the white colourway looks cool.
I have ridden the Skybrid SLS 70 litre and its a great hybrid board between a short wave freesyle board and a mid length shape.
Easy to get up though its narrower than my previous boards and does require a little more effort.
The big advantage is the early planing speed to get on foil and the glide.
Its a good allrounder in waves and flat water.
I’m have been riding Duotone Glide foils for 2 years now and the 2.0 version is such a big upgrade in performance compared to the original. It has earlier lift, quicker turns in the roll axis and best of all improved glide.
The 750 has the same glide and lift as the old 900 with the benefits of riding a smaller foil but it is still easy to use.
If you are intermediate , don’t be afraid to down size the front wing for more performance and speed.
I also recommend changing the stabilzer to a P or PX stab for more speed and stability or if you want a looser feel the S stab.
The H stab is great for downwind bump gliding if thats your thing.but its woth having a P (PX ) or S stab to change your feel.
Great foil and very user friendly.
Ordered the GoPro Hero 13 bundle as they had it for sale at the best price, delivery was prompt and any queries were answered quickly and professionally, highly recommend using this company.
