Description
The Sabfoil Blackbird Leviathan Front Wing is a high-aspect glide-focused hydrofoil wing built in Sabfoil's UHM carbon Blackbird layup, available in 960, 1300 and 1400cm² for downwind, light-wind wing foiling and SUP foiling. It's built for riders with serious pumping demands who want to connect longer sections and generate speed more efficiently than a standard freeride wing allows.
The defining feature of the range is the Blackbird system's integrated active-lift fuselage — unlike a standard cylindrical fuselage, it carries its own hydrodynamic profile that contributes directly to the foil's lift, rather than just connecting the wing to the mast. As part of Sabfoil's hydrofoil wing range, the Leviathan sits at the glide-and-pump end of the Blackbird lineup.
Who It's For
- Discipline: Downwind foiling, light-wind wing foiling and SUP/pump foiling
- Level: Experienced riders with demanding pumping and glide requirements
- Best for: Riders wanting to connect longer downwind bumps, extend glides between pump cycles and push pumping technique further
Key Features
- Blackbird UHM carbon construction – shares the stiff, direct layup used across the Blackbird range
- Active-lift fuselage design – the fuselage itself carries a hydrodynamic profile that contributes to the foil's flight, not just a connecting strut
- Fine-tuned high aspect ratio – built for excellent glide without becoming overly demanding or technical to fly
- 1300 — Hyper-Thin Race Profile – minimises drag at speed for faster pumping cadence and higher top-end velocity
- 1400 — race-derived, downwind-inspired outline – a departure from traditional pumping shapes, built to thrive at speed
- 3 sizes, 960–1400cm² – covers smaller, more technical setups through to larger glide-focused wings
Real-World Feel
What sets the Leviathan apart from a typical high-aspect glide wing is how the active-lift fuselage changes the feel underfoot — lift feels like it's coming from the whole platform rather than the front wing alone, which translates into longer, more connected glides between pumps. The 1300's thin race profile is noticeably efficient at speed, rewarding a clean, minimal pump stroke rather than heavy input. The 1400 leans further into race-derived speed, which makes it the wing to reach for on faster downwind runs rather than gentle, exploratory sessions. None of these are beginner wings — they're built for riders who already have their pumping technique dialled and want the platform to reward it.
Setup / Fit
Mount to a compatible Blackbird fuselage and mast using the system's two-screw hardware. Choose size based on discipline and experience: the 960 suits more technical, smaller-wing setups; the 1300 suits riders wanting maximum pumping efficiency at speed; the 1400 suits faster downwind runs where the race-derived outline pays off.
Materials
- Construction: Blackbird UHM (ultra-high-modulus) carbon
- Fuselage interface: active-lift design (hydrodynamically profiled, not a plain connecting strut)
- 1300: Hyper-Thin Race Profile for minimal drag
- 1400: race-derived profile with downwind-inspired outline

Pairs Well With
You'll need a compatible Blackbird mast and stabiliser to complete the foil, or consider the complete Leviathan foil set if you're starting from scratch.
Why We Stock It
We stock the Leviathan for riders who've outgrown a standard glide wing and want a platform built specifically around pumping performance. The active-lift fuselage genuinely changes how the foil feels rather than being a marketing label, and that's the kind of upgrade worth explaining properly rather than just upselling.
FAQs
What is the Sabfoil Blackbird Leviathan Front Wing?
The Sabfoil Blackbird Leviathan Front Wing is a high-aspect glide and pumping-focused hydrofoil wing built in UHM carbon with an active-lift fuselage design, available in 960, 1300 and 1400cm².
What size Blackbird Leviathan should I buy?
The 960 suits more technical, smaller-wing setups; the 1300 is built for maximum pumping efficiency with a Hyper-Thin Race Profile; the 1400 suits faster downwind runs with its race-derived outline.
What is an active-lift fuselage?
Unlike a standard cylindrical fuselage that just connects the wing to the mast, the Blackbird's active-lift fuselage carries its own hydrodynamic profile that contributes directly to the foil's flight and glide.
Is the Blackbird Leviathan good for beginners?
No — it's built for experienced riders with demanding pumping and glide requirements. Beginners are better served by a more forgiving, standard-aspect wing.
What is the Blackbird Leviathan made from?
It's built in Sabfoil's Blackbird UHM (ultra-high-modulus) carbon layup, the same construction standard used across the Blackbird mast and fuselage range.
