Fly earlier in a wing like with a paddle!
Fly effortlessly! Tired of watching others sail?
Do you practice different disciplines related to downwind and/or are you looking for a board to navigate in the Ultra light wind, and you are looking for a single board to do it all?
You won’t have any more excuses! The DW has been designed for riders who want to do Ultra light wind or downwind with a wing, with a paddle or in prone. Whatever the discipline. A single board will allow you to practice all downwind disciplines.
Imagine flying like a bird over the crests of waves in Sup foil Downwind. The DW Range has been developed to provide you with disconcerting ease and ease for foiling downwind.
We have deliberately kept a reasonable width to make these boards accessible and scalable according to your level. The 7’2W is 22 inches wide, it will give you excellent stability. The 7’2 x 20 will be more technical and reserved for light or demanding riders.
For all downwind lovers exclusively, we have developed the DW 8’3 range with 4 widths 17 / 19 / 21 / 23 and 4 volumes ranging from 105 L to 135 L
We have designed this board for all watermen looking for a board for different disciplines: Sup foil downwind, Prone, and Wing foil downwind or Ultra light wind.
Reduced DW widths to maximize glide
In order for a board to leave early, you need to reduce its area of friction with the water. The width of the board is the main factor. But this same width will give stability in the water. A compromise must therefore be found.
Downwinding early requires little board width. Generally, when downwinding, it is windy and therefore the water is choppy. Downwind boards that are too narrow will be very unstable and will not allow you to reach your full potential. To do this, we opted for two board widths: 20 inches wide for the more experienced and 22 inches wide for the heaviest or those looking to evolve easily in all conditions.
The high speed of movement of this type of board will allow the rider to choose a smaller foil which, when in the air, will continue to accelerate and thus go from bump to bump.
This new way of sliding requires a little practice to master the starting technique. Well controlled, you will sail from ridge to ridge using only the power of the wind swell. Optimize your Ultra light wind or carving sessions even more in the waves with this DW range. Gliding endlessly for miles will no longer be a dream but reality!
Flat hull with a slight V on the front to facilitate departures in ultra light wind!
The stretched and thin outline with a sharply contoured hull will make it incredibly easy for you to reach the optimal take-off speed
The US rails are more advanced on the DW range, this gives a better distribution of the overall in-flight volume of the board. This brings more balance in the take-off phase with less movement on the board. Control will be better in carving with less length in front of the board, in pumping with better front-to-back distribution or in wing downwind. The pressure on the feet will be better distributed for better balance.
The double concave on the front re-stabilizes the board without speed and allows the acceleration of the water trickles in the gear pick-up phase.
Pintel for a reduction in drag.
The pintel on the bit combined with the burls improves the direction and separation of the water, helps in the take-off phase and reduces the declaration during touching.
Outline
Narrow width, taut rocker for maximum glide.
Keel
Flat for easy, fast start
Tail

With the DW 7’2 board, discover the pinnacle of the downwind, prone, wing foil experience. if you are only going downwind, the 8’3 range has just been created with 4 sizes of boards to suit all levels and sizes.
We paid attention to every aspect of this board. It’s designed to give you unmatched benefits in performance, comfort, control, and durability. A perfect board for anyone who wants to downwind, prone or wingfoil in light conditions. It is part of the Elite Range. The perfect combo with the Elite or Solo carbon foil .
The starting speed of these DW boards combined with their high volume makes them exceptional for downwinding.
Leave very early whatever the conditions, optimize speed with exceptional glide. It will also amaze you on swell trains. With a smaller foil, the acceleration will be phenomenal.
This type of board will allow you to go in the swell and glide, fly with very little swell.
If you are sailing in lakes or in very light wind conditions, opt for the DW range to take off from 5 knots of wind with a large kite and a foil that glides enormously.
OR go downwind with a small, maneuverable and light wing.
The DW is the perfect partner to get the most out of the Elite Carbon Foil.
A good dose of motivation, a good dose of acceleration and you will push all your limits.
Depending on what you want to do, you can choose any carbon foil from the HA range. This combo will give you rigidity, control, and responsiveness. These two products will give you an incredible downwind experience whatever the conditions.
Control your trajectory like never before.

When paddling, without any problem, you can do prone with this type of board. You will leave very early to cover miles in downwind prone
The DW range was created mainly to practice downwind in all disciplines. Whether you’re rowing, paddling or winging, the DW range has been designed for all downwind disciplines.
Downwind wing foil will be the easiest of all disciplines because the wing will be your engine and will require little effort. With 15-20 knots of wind you can start downwinding. If you are looking for maximum stability to start and progress, we recommend using the DW 7’2W which is wider and will give you more stability.
If you are experienced, the DW 7’2 will be more appropriate for your level unless you are over 90 kg, in which case opt for the DW 7’2 W.
The prone or sup foil Downwind, will require more experience and background in paddle or surffoil. The gait is identical to the oar and/or in prone, the DW 7’2W will make it easier to take off and will require less technique and effort.
On the other hand, the DW 7’2 will be more slippery, more manoeuvrable and will bring more responsiveness and performance. It will be suitable for small people or experienced riders.
Yes, this type of board can also be adapted for prone. As the board is long and narrow, there is a great glide that allows you to start very early on the swell trains by rowing. In the same way as the LW range, the DW range will bring more glide and allow you to go faster but it will be longer and therefore a little less manoeuvrable.
We advise you to rinse your equipment well with clean water and not to store it outside or in very hot, very cold or very humid places. Do not open the pressure relief screw on the DW. It’s a goretex valve. So there’s no need to touch it. But common sense prevails. Like you wouldn’t leave your phone in direct sunlight in the car. The same goes for your board. The temperature rises to over 75°C in a car in direct sunlight. To make a material last a long time, maintain it and avoid causing it to suffer from major shocks or high temperatures.
We provide a high-end cover to protect your favorite board.
Allow 24 hours for the preparation of the order and one to three working days for the delivery of the package in metropolitan France.
Yes. All Sroka wing foil boards come with a two-year warranty.
For this range, we use the best materials and the best construction on the market (full carbon and PVC carbon sandwich under the pads, with 3 layers of carbon on the rails) not to make disposable products, but durable and very efficient.
If you are equipped with the right power and performance kite in 6 or 7 m2 with a 1350cm2 foil, you can expect to start at 5 knots of constant wind for a size of 80 kg and a little technique.
With a smaller 950 HA S foil, you’ll be able to set off at 10 knots.
Don’t overestimate yourself.
The DW is designed for the resourceful/experienced riders who are looking for an early start. If you are a beginner, we advise you to choose another range of wing foil boards more suited to your level (the Sky Rider).
The 6′ and 6’4 (144 and 155L) inflatable boards are ideal for beginners. Those who want a performance board to take anywhere on a trip will turn to the 5’3 (120L).
To start wing foiling, you need a board with volume and especially with a little width. Don’t overestimate yourself. For those weighing less than 70kg, it is possible to go with the 5’5 or 5’4 Sky Rider 90L. From 70 to 80, 5’7 or 5’8. Otherwise 6’0 or 6’3.
