Description
If you’re looking for a compact, safe, and durable setup to support young or lightweight beginners in both paddling and windsurfing, the Zypher HP inflatable Windsup and XO Sails Rookie ALU rig deliver that and more. Built to handle early learning and keep up as confidence grows, this combo balances safety with performance.
The Zypher HP Windsup uses a High Pressure Fusion Composite Dropstitch build that inflates to 20 psi, making the board more rigid, responsive, and long-lasting. Its inflatable body is safer during falls or contact, especially for kids. High volume gives solid support underfoot, while a forward-positioned tail fin helps the board turn easily in SUP mode. A slot for a centre fin enhances upwind tracking while under sail. On deck, the board features directional EVA grip with added diamond zones underfoot and raised ridges near the mast base for extra hold when uphauling. The baseplate insert is protected by a traction disc, and everything packs into an ergonomic backpack.
The XO Sails Rookie rig is sized and shaped to help kids get moving confidently. Its deep lower-profile offers predictable power and stability, while the aluminium mast keeps things light and manageable. The rig is designed for simple handling, with a clear monofilm window for visibility and bright colours that make young riders easy to spot.
A reliable entry point into windsurfing and SUP for growing sailors who want gear that feels good from the start.
