With the rise of new disciplines like K-Winging and pocket winging, which offer the freedom to ride with minimal bulk, some riders will naturally shift their focus toward ocean surfing, carving swells or bumps with style and precision. This board is built for exactly that: delivering the take-off support and stability you need, while being 100% dedicated to carving once you’re in the air.
In this spirit, the ROCKET FREE SURF builds on everything that made the ROCKET SURF PRONE a success: an elongated outline that facilitates take-offs, optimized volume distribution, and a carefully tuned rake angle that creates perfect front-to-back foot pressure. Combined with reduced thickness, this provides excellent in-flight control.
The straight rocker line ensures smooth acceleration, while the beveled rails reduce drag on touchdowns and enable more aggressive, committed turns. A slightly flatter nose improves both control and pumping efficiency, while the tapered nose and tail enhance maneuverability and help avoid unwanted contact with the water during carves.
The rear step and kicktail free up water flow and boost pumping amplitude. Finally, the deck has been widened and reshaped slightly to improve foot placement and overall stability.
Compared to the FREE DOWNWIND, the FREE SURF is a nimbler board thanks to its tapered nose and bottom outline, reduced thickness, and balanced foot pressure. This combination offers excellent pitch stability, even during the most powerful turns.
This board is available in HD Foam Carbon Composite, a very light and stiff construction that enhances maneuverability and delivers an even more direct foil feel. More reactive when pumping, the carbon version does nonetheless share the same shape and program as the bamboo.
Available from 5’2 to 6’11 (47L to 91L), the ROCKET FREE SURF CARBON will delight riders looking for a playful, maneuverable board with easy take-off and excellent glide to carve turn after turn, in any condition.
* Downwinding requires physical preparation, proper security devices (ie. leash, flashlight, safety vest), and assistance at sea. Please do not attempt any downwinders alone nor without proper training.
