The Zypher SL inflatable Windsup and XO Sails Rookie EPX rig create a balanced setup for younger or lightweight riders eager to explore both stand-up paddling and windsurfing. This pairing provides dependable support through the early learning stages and offers room to grow into new skills.

The board’s inflatable construction offers a softer, safer platform for beginners, especially reassuring for kids. Its generous volume helps riders find balance quickly, and the stable deck encourages confident movement. A forward tail fin improves turning in SUP mode, while a centre fin slot is available to assist with upwind sailing. The EVA deck features clear grip lines and raised ridges near the mast base for better control when uphauling. A rear bungee net lets you carry essentials, and the 15 psi Single Layer construction keeps weight down while maintaining reliable rigidity. An ergonomic backpack is included for easy transport and storage.

The XO Sails Rookie EPX rig upgrades the beginner experience with a durable epoxy mast, offering smoother handling and increased strength—perfect for young sailors progressing through their first seasons. The deep-cut sail profile provides gentle, stable power and is easy to trim. Bright colours and clear monofilm windows help with safety and visibility.

A solid first setup for kids who want to feel comfortable and capable from their very first tack.
