Description

Our newest production boards.

The Stealth V4 DW / LW is arguably the next level of Downwind SUP/ Light Wind Foil board.
Appropriately named after its sleek shape that was inspired by the pioneer of Downwind board design Dave Kalama. We owe a great amount of gratitude to Dave for discovering and inspiring riders on the journey of Downwind/lightwind foiling.

Construction
All of the Stealth V4 Series “Production Boards” are construction to our specifications, making boards that are light, durable, and consistent. As a result, you get more acceleration speed , glide, and riding performance, ensuring the Stealth will have a superior longevity over the test of time.

Stinger Stealth V4 Downwind/Lightwind Foil Boards 2024

Downwind / Lightwind 7’6″

Overview
CEO & shaper Steve Legge created the 7’6” x 19” @ 109L for lighter riders with his team and a Hydrodynamics engineer. The new Stealth V4 shape features a longer & narrower outline that has a shallow spoon hull for stability with an ideal amount of rocker up front. This hull shape transitions to a flat bottom from the mid point of the board to the tail creating substantial glide and quick acceleration. The Stealth series has an innovative volume distribution and softened rail design so you don’t hook up or get stuck when trying to get up on foil. The rails firm up through to the tail so the water can flush out the back for increased acceleration and speed.
Key note : ( the tail never meets at a sharp point so the water doesn’t cross over and create downward suction or impede forward momentum with unwanted turbulence.)
The 7’ 6” Stinger Stealth V4 Board has proven its design with an incredibly easy lift off in downwind waves, flat water or light wind wing foiling.

Performance
Test riders that weigh up to 165lbs, when using the 7’6” Stealth V4, they’re finding that their paddle speed is greatly improved because of the narrow outline and unique shaping. While quite narrow, the Stealth still has great stability on the water. This stability helps increase the paddle stroke cadence allowing you get up on foil earlier and easier.
The test team have been finding they are able to use a smaller front foil when paddling up, or wing foiling. The result is faster riding speeds and more fun in the right conditions.
Wing Foiler’s are finding they are able to get up to take off speed way faster, so you are on foil much earlier than conventional board designs. The longer board length releases sooner or with less speed, so light wind conditions are achievable where they were not in the past. Riding in 6 to 8 knots is now achievable with a larger sized wind wing like the new Stinger 6.1m!

Downwind / Lightwind 7’10”

Overview
CEO & shaper Steve Legge created the 7’10” x 19.75” @ 124L for the mid sized rider with his team and a Hydrodynamics engineer. The Stealth V4 shape features a longer & narrower outline that has a shallow spoon hull for stability with an ideal amount of rocker up front. This hull shape transitions to a flat bottom from the mid point of the board to the tail creating substantial glide and quick acceleration. The Stealth series has an innovative volume distribution and softened rail design so you don’t hook up or get stuck when trying to get up on foil. The rails firm up through to the tail so the water can flush out the back for increased acceleration and speed.

Downwind / Lightwind 8’2″

Overview
CEO & shaper Steve Legge created the 8’2” x 20.5” @ 139L for the bigger rider with his team and a Hydrodynamics engineer. The Stealth V4 shape features a longer & narrower outline that has a shallow spoon hull for stability with an ideal amount of rocker up front. This hull shape transitions to a flat bottom from the mid point of the board to the tail creating substantial glide and quick acceleration.

Performance
Test riders that weigh 180lbs & 210bs, when using the 8’2” 139 litre Stealth V4 board, they’re finding that their paddle speed has greatly improved because of the narrow outline and unique shaping. While quite narrow, the Stealth still has great stability on the water. This stability helps increase the paddle stroke cadence allowing you get up on foil earlier and easier.
The test team has also been finding that they are able to use a smaller front foil when paddling up, or wing foiling. They have dropped on average 200cm2 front wing size, resulting in faster riding speeds and more fun in the right conditions like small rollers.

Wing Foiler’s are finding they are able to get up to take off speed way faster, so you are on foil much earlier than conventional board designs. The longer board length releases sooner or with less speed, so light wind conditions are achievable where they were not in the past. Riding in 8 to 10 knots is now achievable with a large wind wing like the new Stinger 7.1m and the a Stealth V4 DW / LW board!

My board made it ...

But no foot straps, fins, or vent plug?

Look closely through the packaging. Fins, foot straps and vent plugs are often concealed in a sheath of cardboard that's easy to discard. Also, check inside the board box, and shake the box to be sure. You'll likely dislodge a small box containing the missing items.
