Blue Planet Downwind Master 6'10''

About the Downwind Master

The Downwind Master was designed by Robert Stehlik as a high performance platform for downwind foiling, flat water paddle up, and light wind wing foiling. Years of R&D have gone into the simple yet refined shape.

The relatively flat bottom makes it quite stable for the width. The pointy tail with hard beveled rails minimizes drag to allow the foil to release easily with minimum effort, even when using smaller, faster foils. The pointy nose with a slightly rounded soft bottom shape has low drag and is very forgiving when touching down at speed.

The deck has a slight concave and boxy rails for extra stability. Volume is evenly distributed for easy balancing and the rocker line is designed for low drag and easy takeoffs. Downwind foiling is challenging to learn, but these boards make catching open ocean bumps as accessible as possible. They also excel as light wind wing foil boards.

Construction

Our foil boards are made using the highest quality construction technology available for an excellent weight to strength ratio. The lightweight blank is reinforced with high density PVC stringers that also reinforce the extra long plate mount track. All inserts are installed into high density foam. The deck is reinforced with a layer of high density foam and the board is wrapped in a full carbon sandwich, with extra reinforcements in high stress areas.
