Leviathan 1300 Blackbird Glider | Precision Speed & High-Cadence Glide
Breaking the Speed Limit of Pumping
While large wings excel at low-speed lift, they often hit a wall when you try to accelerate. For the advanced rider, the challenge is finding a setup that doesn't just "stay up," but actively gains ground. Traditional pumping profiles create a drag-induced speed ceiling that makes chasing fast boat wakes or tight swells a struggle of physical endurance rather than fluid efficiency.
The Performance Evolution of the Leviathan
The Leviathan 1300 Blackbird Kit is built around our most aggressive pumping wing to date. The WL1300/BB takes the high-aspect concept and refines it with a thinner, race-derived section that thrives on speed and high-frequency movement.
The radical nature of the 1300 is made accessible by the Integrated Active-Lift Fuselage. This design ensures that the wing provides immediate support during the take-off and dead-starts, despite its technical profile. Supported by the modular FC/M full carbon tail, the system is completed by the SDW360 stabilizer. This ultra-high AR stabilizer is the perfect match for the 1300, offering the minimal drag required to unlock the wing's full velocity potential.
Tech & Feel
WL1300/BB - High-Speed Precision: The thin, aggressive profile allows for a higher cruise speed. You’ll notice less resistance when accelerating, making it easier to stay in the power zone of fast-moving wakes.
Integrated Active-Lift Fuselage: The sculpted fuselage contributes to the total lift. This makes the technical 1300 profile surprisingly forgiving during the start, providing a clean and consistent release from the dock.
SDW360 Ultra-Low Drag Stabilizer: Specifically chosen for this kit, its reduced surface area allows the foil to feel "free" and agile, rewarding precise foot pressure with immediate response.
High-Cadence Pumping: The lower drag of the entire system enables a faster, more efficient pumping rhythm. You can maintain flight with shorter, more powerful strokes, reducing overall fatigue at high speeds.
FC/M Modular Fuselage: A rigid, full carbon connection that offers total tuning freedom. Use shims to dial in your ride or swap stabilizers to adapt to different conditions.
The Design Philosophy
The Leviathan 1300 Kit is a specialized tool for the rider looking to move beyond the "glider" feel toward a more reactive, speed-oriented experience. It’s about merging the efficiency of a long wingspan with the sharp "bite" of a race profile, creating a setup that turns every pump into pure acceleration.
