KEY FEATURES
SABFOIL LEVIATHAN BLACKBIRD 1400 FRONT WING
Highlights
- Active-Lift Blackbird Fuselage: Its sculpted profile generates its own lift, making this high-performance wing surprisingly easy to get on foil.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Breaking the Drag Barrier
Classic large-area wings often hit a performance ceiling. They lift early but suffer from high hydrodynamic drag, which limits your ability to chase faster wakes or maintain a high-speed glide. For the rider who has mastered the WLT1350/BB and is seeking the next technical challenge, it's no longer just about staying on foil. It's about speed, efficiency, and the unique feel of a high-performance profile.
The Power of the Integrated Blackbird Fuselage
The Leviathan 1400 Blackbird is a bold departure from traditional pumping shapes. By merging race-derived profiles with an outline built for downwind efficiency, Sabfoil has created a wing that thrives on speed. The Blackbird range's secret weapon is its integrated Active-Lift fuselage. Unlike standard setups, the fuselage itself has a dedicated hydrodynamic profile that contributes to the overall lift. This smart design solves the "big wing" paradox, making a radical high-aspect ratio wing much more accessible and forgiving during the critical take-off phase. The result is a setup that bridges the gap between technical mastery and pure enjoyment, allowing ambitious riders to nail consistent dead starts and hold a relentless glide.
Tech & Feel
Active-Lift Blackbird Fuselage: Its sculpted profile generates its own lift, making this high-performance wing surprisingly easy to get on foil. Thin, Race-Derived Profile: It drastically reduces parasitic drag. You'll immediately feel an increase in top speed, allowing you to chase wakes that were previously out of reach. Downwind-Inspired Outline: The extreme wingspan delivers exceptional glide efficiency. Once you find the sweet spot, the wing carries its own momentum, requiring less physical effort to stay on foil. Reliable Dead Starts: Thanks to the extra lift from the Blackbird fuselage, the WL1400 provides the stable platform you need for consistent dock starts. Progressive Challenge: More accessible than a pure race wing, the WL1400 pushes your progression. It demands precise pitch control but rewards you with a lively, responsive feel that standard pumping wings can't match.
Design Philosophy
The WL1400 is a specialized tool for the ambitious rider. Sabfoil took the raw speed of a race wing and made it manageable with its integrated fuselage technology. It's a challenge to master, but a true revelation once you experience its glide.

FAQ, SABFOIL LEVIATHAN BLACKBIRD 1400
Sabfoil designed the WL1400/BB as a specialized tool for ambitious riders who have mastered the WLT1350/BB and are looking for the next technical challenge. The wing takes off in 7-9 knots and has a top speed of 16-18 knots (for an 80 kg rider).
All three front wings share the Blackbird concept with an integrated Active-Lift fuselage, but each is designed for different riding styles. The 1400 (1549 cm², AR 12.3) has an early take-off from 7-9 knots, with a top speed of 16-18 knots. The 1300 (1330 cm², AR 12.3) takes off at 10-12 knots and peaks at 19-21 knots, making it faster and more demanding. For a more forgiving and versatile ride, the WLT1350 (1864 cm², AR 9.8) also takes off in 7-9 knots, with a top speed of 13-15 knots.
This front wing is engineered for Sabfoil's Blackbird fuselage range. Sabfoil recommends the FBB/S (aluminum Backtail size S) and FC/M (Full Carbon fuselage size M) as ideal pairings. Please note: the fuselage is sold separately.
Yes, the front wing includes the Sabfoil MH172 "Mast to Blackbird" screw set, ensuring compatibility with masts in the range.
Sabfoil pairs the Leviathan Blackbird 1400 with the Kraken SDW/360 and SDW/375 stabilizers.
