Where the middle is just the right place to be
With a refined shape and increased length, the new ROCKET WING MIDLENGTH board offers enhanced stability and glide, making it the ultimate light-wind weapon. The expanded size range, now going from 5’10 to 6’10, provides even more options to suit different riding styles and conditions.
By trading thickness for extra length, these latest MIDLENGTH boards now offer better balance and better glide in light winds. The improved volume distribution, especially in the nose, provides greater stability, while the more rounded bottom at the front enhances glide, hence leading to smoother take-offs and touchdowns.
Thanks to a slightly wider tail, stability is preserved while the slim outline and parallel rails promote glide and speed during take-off. The step on the bottom near the tail creates a clean break to channel the water flow at the back without generating excessive drag when in motion. The removal of the central step on the bottom, previously in front of the twin-tracks, makes the board compatible with Foil Drives.
The overall redesign of the board sheds volume from each board size compared to the first edition. For example, the former 5’10 MIDLENGTH board is equivalent to a 6’2 in this new range, boasting a volume of 95L compared to 120L for the same size previously.
The new MIDLENGTH continues to shine in light winds, but many riders will appreciate it in a variety of conditions as these boards don’t feel cumbersome thanks to their narrow width. The reduced width also makes it much easier to carve and lay into turns. These can now be used as SUPs as well by advanced riders looking for agile shapes in waves or short period downwinders.
The ROCKET WING MIDLENGTH benefits from an ultra-light Bamboo Deck Construction. Using a layer of bamboo only on the deck, this construction has been optimized to guarantee the board is as light as possible, all while ensuring strength and durability as well. The feeling of the foil is very direct, and control is absolute throughout the entire session, even at high speeds.
Super accessible, the ROCKET WING MIDLENGTH is a top pick for riders who want to make the most out of light wind conditions.
