WL1300/BB - Leviathan Blackbird 1300 | Hydrofoil Sabfoil Front Wing
Blackbird 1300 Leviathan - Front Wing
Pure Velocity, Zero Compromise: The high-speed pumping weapon for the technical riders.
When Speed is the Objective
If the 1400 is the king of technical glide, the Leviathan 1300 Blackbird is the queen of velocity. For the high-level rider, the challenge isn't just maintaining flight—it's pushing the envelope of how fast a pump wing can actually go. At this level, every millimeter of surface area counts, and standard pumping profiles simply create too much drag to keep up with high-speed boat wakes or aggressive downwind swells.
Shorter Span, Sharper Profile
The WL1300/BB takes the Blackbird concept to its most technical extreme. By reducing the wingspan and further thinning the profile, we have created a wing that thrives at high cruise speeds and is capable of high maneuverability. Following boat wakes has never been so satisfying.
The radical nature of this wing is balanced by the Integrated Active-Lift Fuselage from Blackbird design. Even with its aggressive, low-drag geometry, the lifting profile of the fuselage provides the essential vertical thrust needed to make such a "tuned" wing rideable. It allows for a surprisingly clean take-off, bridging the gap between a pure racing machine and a high-performance pumping wing. This is the setup for the rider who demands surgical precision and the ability to "dead start" with a wing that feels like it has no speed limit.
Tech & Feel
Optimized Active-Lift Fuselage: The core of the Blackbird line. The sculpted fuselage generates aerodynamic lift, transforming a high-speed technical profile into a predictable and "launchable" platform.
Hyper-Thin Race Profile: Engineered to minimize water resistance at high speeds. You’ll experience a drastic reduction in drag, allowing for a faster pumping cadence and higher top-end velocity.
Reduced Span, Increased Agility: Compared to its larger sibling, the 1300 offers sharper rail-to-rail transitions and more aggressive carving, making it the ultimate choice for technical wake-chasing.
Elite Dead Start Performance: The combination of full carbon stiffness and integrated lift rewards explosive starts. It’s the go-to wing for technical riders who want to dock-start into high-speed flight with consistency.
Technical "Bite": The WL1300/BB demands mastery over pitch control. It doesn't just float; it flies. It rewards the "active" rider with a vibrant, high-response feeling that pushes your progression to the limit.
The Design Philosophy
The WL1300/BB is the most "tuned" expression of our pumping line. We’ve stripped away the excess to focus on raw efficiency and speed. It is a technical masterpiece designed for those who view pumping not just as exercise, but as a high-speed pursuit of fluid dynamics.
