Mid Downwind 7’2″

Introducing the newest / 3rd model to the Stealth Series, the Stinger MID (aka Gorge Animal) designed, tested and refined by our team of riders in Hood River, where cutting-edge innovation meets handcrafted artistry.
Available in 7’2” x 19.25” @ 108L for those that ride a high aspect foil looking to take their riding to the next level.
These boards are meticulously engineered for superior lift, control, and style. Thoughtfully crafted details include forward volume displacement, a drop-down taper deck, and square rails for the MID’s. Designed to offer enhanced stability and precision, making them ideal for riders seeking high-performance foiling in a lower volume and/or shorter cadence waves than our DW’s.

Key Features & Benefits
Forward Volume displacement because our riders found that a little more volume under the front foot area greatly improved the touch and goes when riding short cadence waves, so they where even faster tone on foil.

Tapered Drop Deck: The deck slopes upwards from the aft point of your back foot zeroing out past your front foot, thus lowering your centre of gravity to increase stability and control. This design feature makes the board incredibly responsive to foot pressure, with a narrower width allows you to carve sharper and handle speed more comfortably as you ride.
Square Rails for Enhanced Control: The square rails provide additional surface contact and grip before planning up on foil, allowing us to design a narrower board so you can dive into turns with confidence and maintain smoother transitions. This rail profile is crafted to deliver stability without sacrificing maneuverability, making the board suitable for various water conditions and riding styles.

This ideal mid-length size give you the versatility to match your preferred riding style and conditions. The 7’2” @ 108L provides a bit more volume and stability, for the 180lb+ rider, giving you the flexibility to choose the perfect fit.
Premium Lightweight Construction: Constructed with high-grade 3K carbon fibre, 6oz S-Glass and epoxy resin, the Stinger is both durable and incredibly lightweight. This makes it easier to handle and minimizes fatigue, letting you stay out on the water longer while also achieving the speed and responsiveness essential for foiling.
Handcrafted Excellence: Each Stinger board is crafted by skilled artisans, ensuring an unmatched level of detail and quality. From shaping to finishing, every aspect is carefully executed by hand, resulting in a unique board that feels as authentic as it looks. This craftsmanship guarantees that each board is not just a product, but a one-of-a-kind piece of art.

Artistic Design
The Stinger’s design is inspired by the natural flow and energy of the ocean, with an intricate pattern that combines rich accents to evoke the feeling of swift, deep waters. Each board features UV-protected, fade-resistant graphics that retain their brilliance even after extended use in the sun. The result is a striking visual masterpiece, ready to turn heads both in and out of the water.

With the Stinger Mid (aka Gorge Animal) Board, you’re choosing a combination of advanced performance features and craftsmanship.
