UNLEASH YOUR DOWNWIND POTENTIAL

While many downwind-specific SUP shapes on the market share similar designs, we have decided to take a different approach for our Downwind S-TEC. We believe that the extreme beveled or fully rounded bottom and rail shapes create significant instability that causes discouragement for beginners.

Therefore, we decided to go for a very flat bottom section where it matters the most: Right in the standing area. The stability to get going is the primary objective here. We have used the advantages of roundness and beveled rail/bottom contours only where they are needed.

The nose area is rounded for forgiving and smooth touchdowns, while the abruptly beveled pin-tail can be easily sunk as you engage it to achieve flight. We paid special attention to the shape of the rail with keeping the apex of the rail radius as high as possible to further enhance stability.

The deck features a slight concave in the standing area that transforms into a slope towards the nose, ensuring optimal engagement as you transfer the paddle power into the forward momentum. Simply put, the slope prevents the front foot from sliding forward in the crucial moment of the paddle stroke.
