Blackbird Leviathan THE 1550

PROGRAM: PUMP FOIL - DOCKSTART

Welcome to the next evolution of low-end dominance. The new BlackBird Leviathan THE 1550 bridges the gap between the original Leviathan concept and SABFOIL’s cutting-edge Blackbird design philosophy.

An overwhelming demand for a true powerhouse (not just for entry-level progression, but specifically tailored for heavy riders) sparked its complete redesign.

Delivering incredible pumping, effortless dockstarts, and increased speed in light wind conditions, the 1550 BlackBird brings refined aerodynamics and unmatched structural robustness to your heaviest sessions.

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 BlackBird Leviathan THE 1550 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, 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 cm 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 trademark of SABFOIL’s newest generation, first introduced on the Balz Freemove line, the Vortex Tips are fully integrated into the tips of the BlackBird Leviathan THE 1550. 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.

The 1550 Leviathan BlackBird is an exceptionally forgiving and easy-to-ride foil, making it the perfect tool for perfecting pumping technique and mastering technical launches like beach starts.

It as an inclusive, highly versatile foil that balances stability, smooth glide, and enhanced efficiency.

The 1550 Leviathan BlackBird offers lightweight accessibility for heavy riders while remaining easy and approachable for lighter riders in marginal conditions."
