The Rocket Free-Range was developed to meet the demands of the new freefly and downwind disciplines. Freedom is at the heart of these sports: the paddle is only used for take-off and is then set aside or flagged, allowing riders to harness the energy of swells and ocean waves alone.

This requires boards with more length to improve gliding and acceleration, as well as sufficient volume to get up on the plane quickly and stably. Since take-offs in these disciplines are more demanding than in classic wingfoiling, these boards give you exactly the edge you need to take off smoothly.

With this in mind, the Rocket Free Downwind builds on the basic principles of the MIDLENGTH board, i.e., natural balance between front and back foot, stability, and gliding, and takes them further. The extended shape and stretched outline further increase gliding performance. A heel drop and kicktail ensure fast acceleration and smooth touch-downs. The flat cockpit offers optimal control without adding unnecessary thickness, and the width-to-thickness ratio strikes the perfect balance between stability and acceleration, even with little power.

Compared to the Free Surf, the Free Downwind is the more stable board with more thickness, a wider nose, a larger bottom, and more angular rails. The foot pressure is slightly further forward, in the style of the classic F-ONE boards. It was developed for riders who prefer stability and easy take-offs, even in demanding or choppy conditions.
