Downwind SUP • Light-Wind Wing Foiling • Small-Wave Foil Surfing
Reference: 77238-0804 • Construction: Bamboo Deck
High-speed glide, efficient paddle takeoffs, and a narrow performance shape for experienced downwind riders.
The F-One Rocket SUP Downwind Pro Bamboo 19" is built for riders who want to focus on downwind SUP foiling while maintaining useful crossover performance for light-wind winging and small-wave foil surfing. Its long, narrow outline minimizes drag and builds speed quickly, while boxy rails and carefully distributed volume add the stability needed to paddle and accelerate into open-water bumps.
The narrow outline and long waterline produce speed with less drag, helping the board accelerate into open-ocean bumps or onto foil in light wind.
The streamlined shape carries momentum between paddle strokes and helps riders match the speed of moving swell before lifting onto foil.
Volume distribution keeps the paddling position close to the flying stance, reducing the amount of foot movement needed during the takeoff sequence.
Although focused on downwind SUP foiling, the board’s glide and acceleration also make it effective for light-wind wing sessions and catching small or non-breaking swell.
The high-aspect outline minimizes wetted surface and drag while providing the waterline needed to build speed during aggressive paddle starts.
Fuller rails through the standing area improve stability despite the board’s narrow width, helping the rider maintain balance while paddling and waiting for the right bump.
The nose combines a clean entry with enough volume to support aggressive paddling, maintain forward momentum, and resist diving during takeoff.
Reduced tail width improves water flow and lowers drag. The lower tail volume also makes it easier to rock and pump the board during the takeoff sequence.
Lower-rail bevels reduce friction and soften touchdowns, while hard chines promote clean water separation during acceleration and recovery.
An additional chine through the rear section improves tail stability and creates a cleaner release as the board accelerates onto foil.
A small step introduces air beneath the rear portion of the flat hull, reducing friction and helping the board release more efficiently.
The subtle cockpit-style recess lowers the rider’s center of gravity and places the feet closer to the foil for improved control at speed.
A bamboo layer is used on the deck to balance low weight, strength, and durability. It delivers a direct foil feel while remaining slightly less stiff than the Carbon version.
The foil tracks are positioned to match the board’s forward balance point, supporting efficient paddle takeoffs, pumping, and a natural flying stance.
| Size | Volume | Length | Width | Thickness | Metric Dimensions | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6'2" | 86 L | 6'2" / 74" | 19" | 5.4" | 188 × 48.2 × 13.7 cm | TBC |
| 6'6" | 91.5 L | 6'6" / 78" | 19" | 5.5" | 198.1 × 48.2 × 13.9 cm | TBC |
| 6'10" | 96 L | 6'10" / 82" | 19" | 5.5" | 208.3 × 48.2 × 14.1 cm | TBC |
| 7'0" | 104 L | 7'0" / 84" | 19.5" | 5.7" | 213.4 × 49.5 × 14.4 cm | TBC |
| 7'4" | 110 L | 7'4" / 88" | 19.75" | 5.6" | 223.5 × 50.2 × 14.5 cm | TBC |
Weight note: F-One lists the finished weights for all five Bamboo 19" sizes as TBC. Published specifications also carry a ±5% manufacturing tolerance.
Width note: “19-inch” is the range name. The 7'0" and 7'4" sizes widen slightly to 19.5" and 19.75" respectively.
The shortest and lowest-volume option. Best for lighter advanced riders, energetic conditions, and anyone prioritizing maneuverability over maximum glide.
A compact performance choice offering slightly more flotation and waterline while retaining a responsive, low-swing-weight feel.
A balanced option for riders seeking a mix of glide, manageable length, and downwind maneuverability.
Additional waterline and volume improve glide for lighter wind, rounder bumps, and riders who want more support during paddle starts.
The longest and highest-volume 19" model, providing the most glide and flotation while maintaining the narrow performance character of the range.
F-One recommends the 20" range for beginner and intermediate riders, the 19" range for advanced riders, and the 18" range for experts focused on pure downwind performance.
Volume guidance from F-One: Beginners should generally choose at least their body weight in kilograms plus 40 liters. Intermediate riders can target approximately body weight plus 30 liters. Advanced riders may use less volume—for example, F-One gives 90 L as an advanced option for a 70 kg rider.
A shorter model offers better maneuverability and easier board pumping when the bumps are slow, steep, and closely spaced.
A longer board provides more glide and helps generate the speed needed when there is less wind assistance or the swell has less defined shape.
The additional waterline of a longer model helps the rider match the speed of large, fast-moving swell during paddle takeoffs.
Longer sizes create more glide and acceleration, helping the foil generate lift in wind that may not be enough for a shorter conventional wing board.
The board uses F-One’s twin-track mounting system for foils with a standard four-bolt mast plate. Always confirm track spacing and mounting hardware requirements for your foil.
A full EVA pad provides grip across the paddling and standing area, giving riders room to adjust stance during paddle starts, pumping, and light-wind wing sessions.
Skill-level note: The 19" range requires good balance and is aimed primarily at advanced riders. Riders still developing their SUP foil balance should consider F-One’s wider 20" series.
Open-water downwinding requires physical preparation, local knowledge, suitable training, and appropriate safety equipment. Use a reliable leash, flotation or impact vest, communication and visibility equipment, and a planned pickup or assistance system. Do not attempt a downwinder alone or without proper training.
Yes. Its glide and efficient takeoff make it particularly useful for light-wind wing foiling, although the narrow width requires stronger balance skills than a conventional wing board.
The name identifies this performance family. The three smaller boards are 19" wide, while the 7'0" is 19.5" and the 7'4" is 19.75" wide.
Both versions share the same shape and program. The Bamboo Deck model is slightly less stiff, particularly while pumping, while retaining very similar on-water performance at a lower price.
No finalized weights are published for these five Bamboo 19" models. F-One’s official specification table lists each weight as TBC.
Please note: Hydrofoil, paddle, wing, leash, safety equipment, and board bag are not listed as included.
