Please note: international packages have to clear US customs, which often causes delays. Delivery usually takes 7–10 days but can take longer. I'll send you tracking as soon as your order ships and keep you updated along the way.

Breaking the Drag Barrier

Standard high-surface wings often hit a "glass ceiling"—they lift early, but they drag heavy, limiting your ability to hunt faster wakes or sustain high-speed glide. For the rider who has mastered the basics of the WLT1350/BB and is looking for the next technical frontier, the challenge is no longer just staying up; it’s about velocity, efficiency, and the radical thrill of a high-performance profile.

The Power of the Integrated Blackbird Fuselage

The Leviathan 1400 Blackbird represents a bold departure from traditional pumping shapes. By merging Race-derived profiles with an outline inspired by Downwind efficiency, we’ve created a wing that thrives on speed.

The secret weapon of the Blackbird Line is the integrated active-lift fuselage. Unlike standard setups, the fuselage itself features a dedicated hydrodynamic profile that contributes to the hydrofoil flight. This ingenious engineering solves the "big wing" paradox: it makes a radical, high-aspect wing significantly more accessible and forgiving during the critical take-off phase. The result is a setup that bridges the gap between technical mastery and pure fun, allowing even the most ambitious riders to achieve consistent Dead Starts and relentless glide.

Tech & Feel

• Lifting Blackbird Fuselage: The integrated fuselage isn't just a connection point; its sculpted profile generates lift, making this high-performance wing surprisingly easy to get out of the water.

• Race-Derived Thin Profile: Drastically reduces parasitic drag. You will feel an immediate increase in top-end speed, allowing you to chase down boat wakes that were previously too fast to catch.

• Downwind-Inspired Outline: The extreme wingspan provides unmatched glide efficiency. Once you find the "sweet spot," the wing carries its own momentum, requiring less physical input to maintain flight.

• Dead Start Consistency: Thanks to the added lift from the Blackbird fuselage, the WL1400 provides the stable platform needed for dock starts, rewarding good technique with an immediate, clean release.

• Progressive Challenge: While more accessible than a pure race wing, the WL1400 encourages rider progression. It demands precise pitch control but rewards you with a "live" and reactive feel that standard pumping wings simply cannot match.

The Design Philosophy

The WL1400 is a specialized tool for the ambitious rider. We’ve taken the raw speed of a race wing and made it "rideable" through integrated fuselage technology. It’s a challenge to master, but a revelation once you feel the glide.
