** Due to a high demand, we currently have a 12 week manufacturing time. Please check our Boards in Stockpage for boards available now.
The Bullet downwind foilboard has been designed with Amos Shapes team rider Zane Westwood and is a result of the quickly progressing sport of downwind foiling. This is your perfect progression for riders that want faster, easier take-offs or to be able to paddle up smaller foils to match the conditions. This board is best suited to open ocean conditions.
V2 brings a bit more tail rocker on the deck as well as a step in the bottom of the tail to allow more clearance in turns. Also we took out some of the roll in the bottom and made the rails fuller to increase stability and reduce thickness. All in all we took the best bits of the Bullet and made them better.
The board paddles through the water with minimal drag achieving faster speeds helping you get up onto foil earlier with efficiency and less effort. The Bullet has a rounded hull bottom inspired by outrigger boats and surf skis. This helps direct water around the board with minimal friction. This also translates to less sticky take offs and touchdowns. To minimise tail touch when pumping at lower speeds and take offs, we have pulled in the tail and added an exit rocker.
We would suggest going 20 to 30 litres volume up from your weight in kg. ie 80kg = 110ltr board. The board length increases stability and makes up for the rounded bottom, which helps with paddling into the wind line.
