Voga Marine Offshore DW Expert

Designed specifically for our downwind conditions in the Mediterranean for Wing and SUP.

The narrow beam reduces the wet surface. Combined with its length, this board will allow you to take off on the smallest waves with a nice glide.

A slight double concave in the front with a pronounced bulb will cushion the most difficult bumps and slopes.

Its volume will ease your return to shore when the wind is no longer in the game. It is our “must have” Offshore Downwind board for advanced to expert riders.

PVC carbon/carbon sandwich build on a very low-density foam core with a structural beam that gives it the greatest stiffness for maximum efficiency.

Optionally equipped with our US standard full carbon box.

Materials: Carbon fiber, Entropy One© biosourced epoxy, Nomex© aramid honeycomb, Airex© PVC foam (sandwich), EPS core, upcycled Airbus© carbon fibers, Map Yachting© boat varnish.

The Shape

Our Offshore Downwind line is intended for those who want to explore the high seas and enjoy long downwind sessions or light wind cruising.

The wet surface is reduced to a minimum thanks to an elongated shape and minimum beam for the Expert model or moderate beam for the Cruise model. Yet, our downwind boards provide exceptional stability thanks to its tulip-shaped rails that extend from the stern to the beam.

The bow is bulb-shaped to add volume and avoid getting stuck in catching waves. We get a lot of those here in the Mediterranean as our wave periods tend to be quite short.

Your Local Brand Since 2020

Voga Marine started with an encounter between Anthony, a young entrepreneur and sea lover with a strong sense of aesthetics and Frederic with more than 20 years of experience in marine shipyards and building prototypes and shapes for riders and major brands. He is a true passionate of hull design and composite materials with a natural inclination for bio-sourced materials. Both share a certain taste of challenge and performance. Based in a completely rehabilitated workshop halfway between Brutal Beach and Almanarre, two world renowned Mediterranean riding spots, Voga was a slightly crazy gamble at the start.

In response to all the mass produced boards out there, which are pushed to customers to ensure stock clearance through mass marketing, Voga Marine boards meet the demands of riders and the latest advances in our emerging water sports.

Voga, your Mediterranean brand, offers a local alternative for boards that are designed and actually manufactured in France and that use the most advanced technologies. Our approach is intended to be as environmentally friendly as possible. We use the best local know-how through lasting partnerships.

Voga designs and manufactures custom boards that meet specific needs, but also small series boards. No overstock, a fair price and tailored service. We are at your disposal to offer you the board or combo perfectly suited to your needs.

An Alternative Model for a Cleaner Future

From the start, Voga seeks to reduce its environmental impact during manufacturing. In addition to the fact that our boards do not travel halfway around the globe, we integrate natural materials such as volcanic basalt fiber and PET cores, a highly technical recyclable foam obtained from recycled plastic.

We were also among the first to use reused Airbus© carbon fabrics. These fabrics, which are normally used to hold the wings of airliners, reinforce our boards and secure your foil rig with our inhouse full-carbon US box rails.

We will strengthen these initiatives. Voga Marine joined the CEDRE Ambition Region Sud community in December 2023 after several months of support with a CSR expert (Corporate Social Responsibility). This is a local public incentive to support small companies in their CSR development. As of today, this support is renewed for a period of three years. Three areas of work constitute our CSR strategy to reduce the impact of our boards over the entire life cycle. The result will be eco-responsible processes modeled on the ISO 26000 standard and concrete data on which to measure the performance of Voga Marine in its positive impact on the environment and the community.
