Introducing the Hover Downwind Inflatable, a SUP with your favorite qualities, now catering to downwind foiling and light-wind wing foiling as an easily accessible, highly versatile compact package. Available in two sizes, the Hover DW Inflatable is fused with inspiration from the Hover DW mid-length and Hover DW Nvision boards. Featuring our new innovative technology, the “hard edge” maximizes balance and stability by enabling water to release when accelerating the board up to speed. The nose area is a soft rail with a flat center section, granting further stability and ease of pumping when on-foil. Take flight with the Foil Track System, designed specifically for downwind paddle application due to its integrated “ridge” and feel at ease in any conditions with the lightweight TPU drop stitch construction, durable and built to last. Our rocker line finds the balance between getting “chip shots” effortlessly during DW paddle runs while absolute flat water is a breeze when paddling to get up on your foil. Whether you’re traveling downwind on a Maliko Run or having a leisurely light-wind wing in Lake Garda... Explore with curiosity, paddle anywhere with ease on the Hover DW Inflatable.
