Introducing the Downwinder SLS 2025 – the ultimate choice for effortless foiling, easy paddle-ups, and endless glide. Experience unparalleled acceleration and quicker release for earlier take-offs, setting a new benchmark for Downwind Foiling and light wind Wing Foiling performance!
Re-designed for 2025 by Finn and Jeffrey Spencer, the Downwinder SLS features optimized shapes for enhanced glide and take-off efficiency, while maintaining compact dimensions for excellent stability. Perfect for SUP Downwinders in smaller, steeper bumps or light wind Wing Foiling, the board is two inches longer and half an inch narrower than previous models, offering impressive glide and acceleration for riders of all skill levels.
Refined Design for Performance
The Downwinder SLS boasts a low rocker and sleek pin tail, ensuring the earliest take-off possible. Clean bottom contours with a single concave entry enable smooth touchdowns, while the pronounced rail bevels and hard edges on the rear half provide excellent release and stability. The slightly recessed deck improves your connection to the foil, while new, longer carbon foil tracks allow for adjustability with all types of foils and help reduce overall weight.
Three Dedicated Shapes
The Downwinder SLS comes in three distinct shapes to suit different riding styles:
- 7’0’’ x 19.5’’ (95l): Compact and agile.
- 7’6’’ x 20.5’’ (115l): Versatile and balanced.
- 8’0’’ x 22’’ (135l): Stable and supportive.
Constructed with lightweight Carbon Custom Sandwich technology, the Downwinder SLS offers the perfect blend of stability, progression, and performance, whether you're paddling in small bumps or wing foiling in light winds.
