DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Take-off and Glide
The Rocket Wing S's domed nose and stretched shape make waterstarts a snap. Once your wing generates enough power, the board pops up and glides like a skimboard until the foil takes over. The smaller sizes offer rapid acceleration and long glides, perfect for pumping and powering up quickly.
Lightweight and Handling
Built with Full Bamboo and engineered for lightness, the Rocket Wing S is incredibly easy to handle in the air. Its low weight gives you more freedom for jumps and makes freefly sessions more comfortable by reducing leg fatigue.
Control and Forgiveness
The concave deck creates a stable platform under your feet, which is key for maintaining control during touchdowns or when riding strapless. Its surf-inspired outline delivers natural turns and impressive responsiveness when you're carving lines.
Construction and Useful Details
The Full Bamboo construction reinforces both the deck and bottom while maintaining a dynamic feel. Bevelled rails reduce drag during touchdowns and allow for steeper carving angles. The twin-tracks system lets you adjust your foil placement to find the perfect balance for your riding style.
