Presentation
The DW 8’3 range has been designed to offer an exceptional downwind experience, with the emphasis on glide, stability and ease of departure, even in the lightest wind and swell conditions. Thanks to its slim shape and generous volume, it allows all riders, from beginners to advanced, to fully enjoy the unique sensations of SUP foil downwind.
Shape
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 provides more balance in the take-off phase, with less displacement 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 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.
Construction
To guarantee the longevity of our products over time, we have chosen a high-quality construction.
- Carbon sandwich with PVC and Carbon under the pads : Underneath the pads there is a carbon sandwich with 3 mm of PVC. Wrapped in 3 layers of carbon on the rails for maximum rigidity.
- The deck and hull are covered with 2 layers of 160g of 160g carbon with carbon reinforcement at the US rails.
- 3 layers of carbons on the rails.
- Reinforced Strap Inserts : All strap inserts are securely bonded into PVC blocks for unmatched rigidity and strength.
- Reinforced US rails: US rails are bonded into PVC blocks that extend all the way to the deck, eliminating the polystyrene underneath the housings for added strength when jumping.
- Flat hull with a constant curve and a double concave in front for a quick and efficient take-off.
- Maximizing the volume in the center of the board for the most useful volume.
- The 30 straps inserts allow complete customization of their position according to the practice (the straps position is different for kitefoil and wakefoil or for surfing foil).
- Cover included: All our boards come with a top-of-the-range cover with 10 mm thick foam (top, bottom and blanks) to protect your precious equipment.

Avis Clients
When paddling, without any problem, you can do prone with this type of board. You’ll set off early to cover kilometers on a downwind prone.
The DW range was created mainly to practice downwind in all disciplines. Whether you’re rowing, paddling or using a wing, the DW range has been designed for all disciplines Downwind.
The wing foil downwind will be the easiest of all the disciplines, as 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.
Prone or sup foil Downwind , will require more experience and background in paddling 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. For equipment to last a long time, maintain it and avoid subjecting it to heavy shocks or high temperatures.
We provide a high-end cover to protect your favorite board.
Allow 24 hours for order preparation, and one to three working days for delivery in mainland France.
Yes. All foil Sroka wing 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) so as not to make disposable products, but durable, high-performance ones.
If you are equipped with the right powerful, high-performance 6 or 7 m2 wing with a 1350cm2 foil, you can expect to make 5 knots of constant wind for an 80kg weight and a little technique.
With a smaller 950 HA S type foil, you can make 10 knots.
Don’t overestimate yourself.
If you’re under 75 kg, start on the 5’7 LW unless you’re an expert.
If you’re around 85 kg, start on the 6’2 LW
If you’re over 95 kg, start on the 6’6 LW.
The DW is designed for the resourceful/experienced riders who are looking for an early start. If you’re just starting out, we advise you to choose another range of wing boards foil more suited to your level (the Sky Rider range).
The 6′ and 6’4 (144 and 155L) inflatable boards are ideal for beginners. Those who want a high-performance board to take with them wherever they go will opt for the 5’3 (120L).
To start winging foil, you need a board with volume and, above all, a little width. Don’t overestimate yourself. For those weighing less than 70kg, you can opt for the 5’5 or 5’4 Sky Rider 90L. From 70 to 80, 5’7 or 5’8. Otherwise 6’0 or 6’3.
