Blackbird Blade Front Wing 680/700

The Sabfoil Blackbird Blade Front Wing is a high-aspect race hydrofoil wing built in Sabfoil's stiffest UHM carbon Blackbird layup, available in 680 and 700cm². It's the natural evolution of Sabfoil's Blade line, built with an extremely thin profile for progressive acceleration, clean glide and precise handling even at full speed.

Suitable across kite foil, wing foil, surf foil and downwind disciplines, the Blade is built for riders chasing outright pumping efficiency and top-end speed rather than an easy-going, forgiving ride. As part of the Sabfoil Blackbird system, it's aimed squarely at experienced riders who already know they want a race-focused front wing.

Who It's For

• Discipline: Race, freerace and high-performance downwind, wing, kite and prone foiling
• Level: Advanced and race-focused riders
• Best for: Riders who want maximum glide efficiency and top speed, with tight turns and fast carves rather than forgiving stability

Key Features

• Blackbird UHM carbon construction – Sabfoil's stiffest layup, shared with the rest of the Blackbird range
• Extremely thin, high-aspect profile – engineered for progressive acceleration and clean glide with minimal drag
• 2 sizes, 680 and 700cm² – a tight size range built for riders who already know their preferred wing area
• Two-screw modular fit – compatible with Blackbird masts, fuselages and stabilisers

Real-World Feel

The Blade's geometry favours tight lines and fast carves while staying stable under load — it accelerates progressively rather than snapping onto the foil, which makes it easier to hold a clean line at speed than a more aggressive race wing might suggest. Precision holds up even in technical transitions like tight buoy turns or quick direction changes on a downwind run. It's not a wing built to be forgiving of a sloppy pop or poor trim — that thin, high-aspect profile rewards technique rather than compensating for it, which is exactly the trade-off race-focused riders are looking for.

Setup / Fit

Mount to a compatible Blackbird fuselage and mast using the system's two-screw hardware — the Blade pairs with the 377 racing stabiliser and the Blackbird 110cm mast in Sabfoil's own race kit configuration. Choose 680 for a slightly more manoeuvrable feel or 700 for a touch more lift and glide.

Materials

• Construction: Blackbird UHM (ultra-high-modulus) carbon, full-carbon monoblock line
• Profile: extremely thin, high-aspect race profile
• Sizes: 680cm² and 700cm²

Why We Stock It

We stock the Blade for riders who've already decided they want a dedicated race wing rather than an all-rounder. It's not a wing we'd recommend to someone still building their foiling technique, but for riders chasing genuine top-end speed and efficient pumping, it's one of the sharpest tools Sabfoil makes.

FAQs

What is the Sabfoil Blackbird Blade Front Wing?

What size Blackbird Blade should I buy?

Both sizes sit close together — the 680 gives a slightly more manoeuvrable feel, while the 700 offers a touch more lift and glide. Choice comes down to personal preference and rider weight.
