Aviator Downwind Elite

GENERAL GOAL | THEME OF THE BOARD:

An easy paddling board designed to maximize your time on the foil, specializing in downwind conditions. 

CONDITIONS IT'S WORKING BEST:

15 knots with short period swell.

SKILL LEVEL IT'S BEST FOR:

This is designed for anyone wanting to get into downwind SUP Foiling. It is an advanced skill, but this board will make it easier. 

WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF WHEN YOU DESIGNED IT?:

How do we make it as easy as possible without compromising time on foil

WHAT IT POSSIBLY COMPROMISES ON THEN?:

Stability paddling around, it is just for the take off. Might be best to prone out to the wind line. 

OUTLINE:

Fuller nose outline and pulled in tail. You won't be pushing that much board through the water due to the vee and complex bottom shapes.

RAILS:

Hollow, concave bevel. This helps with board tracking. Tracking is more of an issue with back footed foils that need to be placed a long way forward.

ROCKER:

Low rocker through the stringer but rails have more due to the vee and complex bottom shapes. Helps board fit into the bumps if your paddling up on small wedges or large ocean

BOTTOM:

Large vee in the nose blending to slight vee throughout. 

DECK:

We have a concave deck to get the rider as close to the foil as possible while maintaining the volume needed. It's a soft concave without any drastic edges so it doesn't trap water on the deck after takeoff.

FINAL STATEMENT:

A great board to introduce you to the world of downwind foiling.
