THE AVIATOR DOWNWIND is for prone downwind foilers or for serious downwind SUP foilers.

This is the latest evolution of downwind boards and has been tried and tested all over the world, with countless prototypes. It’s designed for pure speed, but is surprisingly stable and comfortable for its width. With lower volumes than its predecessors, your center of gravity is closer to the waterline, aiding in stability. A revised bottom shape, with more efficient contours means you’ll be flying on foil earlier than ever before.

THE SUP FOIL HAS FINALLY ARRIVED

This board has been revised many times before we felt ready to release it.. 

Bert has been working closely with James "Jimmy" Casey behind the scenes for the last year or so to nail down the design and get it 100% ready to fly before hitting the market.. The are some serious design aspects in this board to make it take off and stay there.. 

About the board

GENERAL GOAL | THEME OF THE BOARD:

A downwind SUP foil that gets going in all types of conditions. From flatwater paddle starts to cranking downwind bumps. This board will make it easier for you to get going.

CONDITIONS IT'S WORKING BEST:

Any conditions downwind to flatwater. It works for it all.

SKILL LEVEL IT'S BEST FOR:

Intermediate to Elite. You need to have a good balance for these boards.

Design info

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 the rails have more due to the vee and complex bottom shape. Helps the board fit into the bumps if you're paddling up on small wedges or larger ocean swells.

Bottom

Vee in the nose blending to flat throughout the box area.

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

This board is perfect for enthusiastic downwind foilers. Touchdowns are no longer an issue as the water is displaced to the sides rather than grabbing onto a flatter surface.

The board has multiple rocker profiles, helping to keep more waterline in the water when paddling up on a big bump and also helping it fit into small wedges. A slight tail kick through the stringer, with a big vee in the tail was kept from a much earlier design. The kick in the tail looks far greater when you're looking at the rail line, this is due to the vee. As a result, the rocker is still low at the stringer, this helps with the same thing mentioned above. This also helps when pumping the board onto foil, and when flying, the high rail and vee shape is harder to catch when you're in a complicated ocean.
