Build hard Disciplines downwind discontinued
The Downwind FG Performance has 3 sizes on record, discontinued sizes included, from 98 to 118 L. Its slenderness, 6.21, is greater than that of 100% of the 1,895 current boards that publish a length and a width.
No current board from another brand is within ±7% of volume and ±2% of length, and ±2% of slenderness where both publish a width of this one.
None of these is within the tolerances above: each misses on volume, length or slenderness by up to 1.6× the tolerance.
