The Rocket Free-Range was developed to meet the requirements of the new freefly and downwind disciplines. Freedom is at the heart of these sports: the Wing or the paddle is only used for takeoff and then set aside or flagged, in order to then use only the energy of swells and ocean waves.

This requires longer boards 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 wing foiling, 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 the front and rear feet, stability, and gliding, and takes them further. The extended shape and stretched outline further increase gliding ability. A tail heel 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 classic F-ONE boards. It was developed for riders who prefer stability and easy take-offs, even in challenging or choppy conditions.
