Description
Now, we finally have the board that allows us to do it effortlessly and with maximum control. Wing, prone, or paddle foiling, the Wing/Downwind-180 has the performance to match the vision you have for your downwinder and the dedication you are investing. Subtly recessed deck contour aligns with the stance of the rider and helps a lot for take-off, control, and quicker, more sensitive pump response. Displacement hull for quick acceleration, Step Bottom for exceptional release. Pointy, sleek nose for minimum drag. Wing/Downwind-180 raised tail for paddle stability and clearance when turning or on foil.
Finbox
2x US 40cm long box. 2x US 16” long box.
Pad
Thermoformed heat sealed Flat Cord deck pad with cuts for weight saving and water deflection.
Step Bottom
A patented cutout on the bottom rear third of the board, including the foil boxes, creates an unprecedented connection to the foil. For touchdowns, it reduces catching and deceleration and makes the initial take-off incredibly easy.
Technology
Vacuum Lamination. We apply our proprietary high-end vacuum lamination process developed in Seahorse, formulated to withstand even harsh water impact, without effect on hull integrity or stance area. Adapted from the E-foil line, this technology offers peace of mind in all water conditions.
Construction
Carbon Monocoque. The deck and stance area are integrated into the hull via a Carbon Monocoque. By bonding the carbon to the core through vacuum lamination, we ensure its superior material qualities get translated into the body of the board, creating a supremely light and stiff hull.
Materials
Carbon fiber. The entire board gets vacuum laminated in several layers of Plain Weave Carbon fiber. Additionally, the deck receives Uni-Directional Carbon coverage for ultimate structural strength. Lastly, the padded stance area is reinforced with Biaxial Carbon, providing all the benefits of high-end non-crimp fabrics.
CNC Shaped
Precision CNC shaped and hand-built to our exact standards, every model, Stock or Custom, adheres to the non-stop evolving technologies we have developed in Seahorse.
Feeling
Excellent acceleration, quick release, and medium stability. The Wing/Downwind-180 will pick up and fly immediately. Due to its slim and elegant outline, in the water it offers only medium lateral stability, however, longitudinal stability is excellent.
Character
Downwind performer. Light wind wing accessible. The Wing/Downwind-180 wants to go downwind, it will push you and enable you at the same time. Made to go the extra mile, and then some.
Skill Level
Size dependant. Rookie to expert. Designed and pioneered by the Seahorse team, the Wing/Downwind-180 is perfectly at home under the feet of professionals, but equally accessible to anyone new to the experience.
SUP
From its inception, the Wing/Downwind-180 was imagined and engineered with Sup performance in mind. Outline, shape, and construction all cater to paddling.
