DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Ultimate Expression of Speed, Control, and Freedom
Developed in collaboration with Balz Müller, the Balz Pro range represents the pinnacle of front wing performance: pure energy transformed into precision and power. Each size has been fine-tuned for freestyle, wave, and speed riding, offering an explosive response and unmatched maneuverability.
Performance by Balz Müller
This isn't just a front wing; it's an extension of the rider's intention. Sabfoil has taken the best profiles on the market and pushed them even further: earlier take-off with smaller surface areas, higher top speed and extended glide, sharper turns and improved flow, instant response, and an enhanced feel. Each size has been tested and pushed to its limits by Balz himself. The 965 delivers maximum control and power for wing foiling in light conditions.
Blackbird Technology: Engineered to Perform
Superior hydrodynamic efficiency and reduced drag: the streamlined shape and monobloc construction slice through water and air, improving flow, reducing turbulence, and smoothing out transitions, touchdowns, and rail-to-rail maneuvers. Active Lift and trim optimization mean the wing generates additional lift, allowing for earlier take-off and reducing pressure on the rear stabilizer. The result is a flatter, faster, more balanced ride, even at high speeds. Extreme structural stiffness: the aerospace-inspired fuselage design increases torsional stiffness by over 20% compared to cylindrical fuselages.
MONOBLOC Full Carbon Construction
The integrated one-piece connection between the front wing, fuselage, and tail ensures minimal flex and torsion, smoother transitions, instant feedback and control, and a truly connected ride feel. The WBZ965/BB is for ambitious and technical riders, freestylers seeking pop and control, and anyone who wants a front wing that feels like a natural extension of their body.

FAQ, SABFOIL BLACKBIRD 965 BALZ MÜLLER SIGNATURE
Sabfoil designed the WBZ965/BB for ambitious and technical riders, freestylers seeking pop and control, and wave riders looking for speed and flow. The 965 is positioned for wing foiling in light wind conditions. It offers take-off at 10-12 knots and reaches a top speed of 22-24 knots for an 80 kg rider.
Both front wings share the same Blackbird Balz Pro technology (same AR 8.3, same MONOBLOC Full Carbon construction). The 965 (1210 cm², 965 mm wingspan) is larger and designed for light conditions: it takes off earlier and offers more lift, with a top speed of 22-24 knots. The 905 (998 cm², 905 mm wingspan) reaches 25-27 knots at its peak: it's faster and recommended for light to medium conditions. The range also includes the WBZ805/BB.
Sabfoil lists the following compatible fuselages: F663K, F700HS, F703K, F753K, F899HS, F900HS, and F903K. The fuselage is not included with the wing.
Yes, the front wing comes with the Sabfoil MH172 screw set ("Mast to Blackbird"), ensuring assembly with masts from the range.
Sabfoil offers the Cover Front Wing H bag (reference MA041), explicitly compatible with both the WBZ965/BB and the WBZ905/BB.
