Highlights Edge Downwind
EDGE DOWNWIND
“The Edge Downwind was shaped to make flying in light wind as natural as paddling. The long, narrow outline reduces drag and accelerates effortlessly, while the refined rocker and volume distribution give you early lift, control, and stability in real ocean conditions. It’s a board built to go far, linking bumps, carving lines, and staying in flow.”

ARE DW BOARDS GOOD FOR BEGINNERS?
Loren Ipsum
The impressive glide and efficiency come at a steep price especially in choppy waters. The DW boads more of a light wind machine than a stable or easy platform to learn on.How should I care for my EDGE MIDLENGTH?
- Rinse with fresh water after each session
- Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or inside a hot car
- Use a board bag for transport and storage
- Check foil mount screws regularly but avoid overtightening
- Repair dings quickly to prevent water entry
With normal care, the full carbon construction stays light, stiff, and high-performance for many seasons.
