Description
The Zypher SL inflatable Windsup and XO Sails Rookie ALU rig form an ideal combination for young or lightweight newcomers looking to enjoy both stand-up paddling and their first steps into windsurfing. It’s a safe, supportive setup that helps build early confidence on the water.
With its inflatable construction and generous volume, the Zypher SL Windsup offers a stable, forgiving platform that’s soft underfoot and safer in case of falls, especially important for kids and beginners. A slightly forward tail fin position makes the board more responsive in SUP mode, while an optional centre fin can be added for better upwind tracking while windsurfing. Directional EVA padding ensures good grip, and a traction disc beneath the baseplate prevents overtightening. The rear bungee net is useful for light gear or snacks on a paddle cruise. The lightweight Single Layer construction inflates to 15 psi and comes with a practical ergonomic backpack.
The XO Sails Rookie rig uses a light, balanced sail shape with a deep profile in the lower section—designed to make early steering and trimming feel natural. The included aluminium mast keeps the rig light enough for kids to lift and handle, helping them stay focused on learning rather than wrestling the sail. Bright colours and a clear monofilm window improve safety and visibility on the water.
A great setup for getting young riders on the board and enjoying the basics of SUP and sailing with ease.
