KEY INFORMATION
SABFOIL LEVIATHAN BLACKBIRD 1300, FRONT WING
What we like
- Integrated Active-Lift fuselage: The defining feature of the Blackbird range. This sculpted fuselage generates its own hydrodynamic lift.
- Ultra-thin race profile: Designed to minimize hydrodynamic drag at high speeds.
- Reduced wingspan and increased agility: Sharper rail-to-rail transitions than its larger 1400 sibling, perfect for wake-chasing.
- Exceptional dock-start performance: The full carbon stiffness, combined with integrated lift, delivers explosive take-offs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
When speed is the goal
While the Leviathan 1400 is the queen of technical glide, the Leviathan 1300 Blackbird is the queen of velocity. For the advanced rider, the challenge isn't just maintaining flight; it's about pushing the speed limits of a pump wing. At this level, every millimeter of surface counts, and standard pumping profiles create too much drag to keep pace with fast boat wakes or aggressive downwind swells.
Shorter wingspan, sharper profile
The WL1300/BB pushes the Blackbird concept to its technical extreme. By reducing the wingspan and further refining the profile, Sabfoil has created a wing that thrives at high cruising speeds while remaining highly maneuverable. The radical character of this wing is balanced by the integrated Active-Lift fuselage: even with its aggressive, low-drag geometry, the lifting profile of the fuselage provides the vertical thrust needed to make such a sharp wing perfectly controllable.
Tech & Feel
Optimized Active-Lift Fuselage: The heart of the Blackbird range. Ultra-thin race profile: Designed to minimize hydrodynamic drag at high speeds, allowing for a faster pumping cadence and a higher top speed. Reduced wingspan and increased agility: Compared to its larger sibling, the 1300 offers sharper rail-to-rail transitions and more aggressive carving. Exceptional dock-start performance: The full carbon stiffness, combined with the fuselage's integrated lift, allows for consistent dock-starts into high-speed flight.
Design Philosophy
The WL1300/BB is the most "tuned" expression of the Sabfoil pumping range. The brand has stripped away everything non-essential to focus on raw efficiency and speed. It's a technical masterpiece for those who see pumping not as a simple exercise, but as a high-speed quest in fluid dynamics. The WL1300/BB demands mastery of pitch control and rewards the active rider with a lively, highly responsive feel.

FAQ, SABFOIL LEVIATHAN BLACKBIRD 1300
Sabfoil designed the WL1300/BB front wing for advanced technical riders. It truly shines when you have precise pitch control and can maintain a sustained pumping cadence. This front wing takes off in as little as 10-12 knots and can reach top speeds of 19-21 knots for an 80 kg rider.
All three front wings share the innovative Blackbird concept with its integrated Active-Lift fuselage, but each is designed for different riding styles and conditions. The 1300 (1330 cm², AR 12.3) offers a quick take-off at 10-12 knots and a top speed of 19-21 knots. For lighter conditions, the 1400 (1549 cm², AR 12.3) gets you flying from 7-9 knots, reaching a peak of 16-18 knots. The Leviathan 1350 (1864 cm², AR 9.8) also takes off at 7-9 knots but is optimized for a top speed of 13-15 knots.
This front wing is specifically designed for Sabfoil's Blackbird fuselage range. Sabfoil recommends pairing it with the FBB/S (aluminum Backtail size S) and FBB/M (aluminum Backtail size M). Please note that the fuselage is sold separately.
Yes, the front wing includes the Sabfoil MH172 screw set ("Mast to Blackbird"), ensuring compatibility with Sabfoil masts.
Sabfoil recommends pairing the Leviathan Blackbird 1300 with their Kraken SDW/360 and SDW/375 stabilizers.
Sabfoil offers the Cover Front Wing I (product code MA084), which is specifically designed to fit the WL1300/BB.
