New Ultra Light Wind and Down Wind board, the DW from Sroka<\/a>.
\nOr the board that will make you forget the nickname of tea bag, which has all too often been associated with Wing foil practitioners.
\nHere, you will discover how to take off with less than 10 knots of wind and discover the downwinder. <\/p>\n

A wingfoil board for ultra light wind?<\/h2>\n

\t\tDownwind, like Ultra light wind, are practices that require equipment that can sometimes be specific<\/a>. The new Sroka DW will allow you to optimize the low range in Light Wind, and take off very early in Downwind.<\/p>\n

The type of board for Down Wind and Ultra Light Wingfoil or sup foil.<\/a><\/h3>\n

\t\tStarting early comes down to opting for a long, straight board. Indeed, the wider the board will be. The more drag it generates in the water and therefore will slow you down during the take-off phases. Opting for a narrow and long board allows you to reduce drag and therefore accelerate with little wind or few waves in the case of Down Wind.<\/p>\n

But why is that?<\/h3>\n

\t\tThe drag in the water due to its viscosity greater than air and its density is 800 times greater than in air, it is proportional to the frontal contact surface of the board, so in fact, a wide board will have a wider frontal surface and therefore a greater drag, the length it allows to limit turbulence when sliding the board in the water.

What is the difference between LW and DW?<\/h3>\n

\t\tThe LW: this board is dedicated to Light Wind in Wing foil<\/a> specifically and in general to a versatile Wingfoil, it will allow you to do everything in all conditions from five to 35 knots depending on the size.
\nThe DW: This will allow you to glide in as little wind as possible as part of the Lighwind, but above all will allow you to be placed on a rail to allow you to take off in the slightest little bump during your Downwind practice. It will therefore be by definition less versatile, less easy, but will allow you to get your Light Wind and Downwind performances to the fullest.
\nThe DW is currently divided into two models:<\/p>\n
