Product Description
A reactive board-and-foil package for expert riding
The Ronix Blackbird / Velo package combines the Blackbird Superconductor board with the Velo High Aspect foil kit for quick pumps, tight turns and efficient glide.
Best for
- Expert foilers: The Velo High Aspect kit suits experienced riders looking for speed, glide and precise banked turns.
- Short, energetic pumps: The Blackbird's riding character emphasizes quick vertical pumps and rapidly initiated turns.
- Your preferred configuration: Select a 13L or 20L Blackbird board and a 910 or 1010 cm² High Aspect front wing. Both board volumes are 3'10" long.
- Board and foil together: The Blackbird with foot straps, complete Velo High Aspect kit, hardware and protective accessories are included.
The Blackbird uses Superconductor construction: dense PVC foam and a full carbon layup intended to deliver a reactive response to rider input. Ronix positions this advanced board around shorter, energetic pumping movements and quick turns, often suiting riders who naturally carry more weight over their back foot. A recessed deck places the rider deeper in the board for a more secure feel. The slender 13L version offers a closer connection between rider and board; the thicker 20L version adds mass for deflecting off the water during airs. A V-bottom and exaggerated bevels also help with water deflection.
The Velo kit adds a 29-inch Shadow Carbon mast with spread tow carbon, asymmetric anti-twist layup and an integrated top plate. The 39 cm fuselage is the autoclave-built Shadow Carbon Link. High Aspect front wings emphasize glide efficiency and turning control, while the 135 cm² rear stabilizer uses tapered winglets to help hold energy through turns.
