WLT1550/BB - Leviathan Blackbird "The 1550" | Ala Frontale Hydrofoil Sabfoil

Evolution from Kraken to BlackBird: Built for Heavy Riders & High Performance

While the 1350 BlackBird serves as the ideal progressive learning tool, the original 1550 Kraken left a void for riders demanding maximum surface area and low-end lift. The new 1550 BlackBird bridges this gap entirely. Tailored specifically for heavy riders and those seeking maximum glide, its transition to the BlackBird architecture introduces significantly higher reactivity, sharper carving control, and superior structural stiffness.

Advanced Mast Position & Faster Profile

Following the successful evolutionary blueprint of the 1350 BB, the 1550 features a refined, faster profile paired with a slightly advanced mast position. This strategic adjustment optimizes the foil’s center of lift underfoot, making the pumping phase remarkably lighter and more fluid while unlocking a higher top-end speed without sacrificing the legendary low-end takeoff of the Leviathan lineage.

Extreme Structural Resistance to Leverage

A 1550 mm wingspan exerts massive physical leverage on the fuselage during aggressive pumping and high-load carving. The BlackBird manufacturing process incorporates robust internal structural reinforcement, ensuring complete rigidity and elite durability under extreme forces. Ride with absolute confidence, knowing your setup can handle your most powerful sessions.

Vortex Tips Integration

A hallmark of SABFOIL’s newest generation—first introduced on the Balz Freemove line—the Vortex Tips are fully integrated into the tips of the 1550 BlackBird. By precisely controlling tip vortex shedding and reducing hydrodynamic drag, these tips ensure cleaner water flow, increased stability through carves, and a more efficient glide across every pump cycle.
