Building on the legacy of the popular Downwind Performance board, the Downwind Ocean is slightly more compact and maneuverable while also being a faster paddling shape. The core evolution lies in its hull design which is now displacement rather than planing, leading to greater paddling speed and straighter tracking – without needing the length of the prior Performance board.
Features
Access ultimate speed The new displacement hull results in greater paddling speed and straighter tracking, perfect for chasing down open ocean swell. It also now requires less effort to get up to speed, so when you’re digging deep for that last popup of the run, the board’s giving you every advantage possible.
Surf the entire run The Ocean is shorter than the prior Performance board per volume. Combined with the Forward Geometry foil tracks, it's ready to lay some snappy S turns all the way down your run.
Put down the power The new shape features more rounded rails and softer chines that provide a consistent, comfortable stability so you can put down paddling power. The flatter deck now provides a wider standing area so you can get those feet whenever you want them for maximum control at Mach speeds.
Built to perform The DW Ocean is built around a pair of i-beam top to bottom dual stringers. Proprietary carbon fiber foil tracks keyed directly into these stringer fibers give the Ocean board a stiff, responsive build that's a dream to ride.
