Hey! I’m interested in the blackbird. Can you let me know your experience with it/and why you are selling it? I’m 95kg looking for an all around wing board that i could also prone paddle into small waves. I doubt I could sup surf it, but maybe with a lot of practice. Thanks!
Hey WingNC ! The blackbird is an amazing board. Really widens up the low end for winging while staying compact at 6’2. For winging it has lots of glide / early speed before engaging the foil which allows you to get going early compared to a more traditional shape, you do retain quite a lot of control & pump still, I find that the boxes are pretty far forward meaning you don’t have much board in front of you when up on foil. I’ve spend some time proning it in small surf and will say it paddles like a 10ft longboard … feels like you can drop into the tiniest wave on this board. It’s great as well for SUPing but I’m looking for something a little longer and narrower to get up in light stuff. If you’re looking for a hybrid for wing / sup / prone then this is the one.
