DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Ultimate Expression of Speed, Control, and Freedom
Designed in collaboration with Balz Müller, the Balz Pro range represents the pinnacle of front wing performance: pure energy transformed into precision and power. Each size has been fine-tuned for freestyle, wave, and speed riding, offering explosive response and unparalleled maneuverability.
Performance by Balz Müller
This isn't just a Front Wing; it's an extension of your intent on the water. Sabfoil has taken the best profiles on the market and pushed them even further, delivering earlier take-off with smaller surfaces, higher top speed and extended glide, sharper turns and improved flow, instant responsiveness, and enhanced ride feel. This complete foil set includes the Blackbird 905 Front Wing and the Progressive 385 stabilizer, providing maximum control and power for wing foiling in light to medium conditions. Combined with the Blackbird 85 mast, featuring a race profile and ultra-high modulus carbon construction with W-core technology, this setup is built for uncompromising performance.
Blackbird Technology: Engineered to Perform
Experience hydrodynamic efficiency and reduced drag: The streamlined shape and monobloc construction cut through water and air, improving flow and reducing turbulence. Active Lift and trim optimization: This front wing generates additional lift, allowing for earlier take-off and reducing pressure on the rear stabilizer, for a flatter, faster, and more balanced ride, even at high speeds. Extreme structural stiffness: The aerospace-inspired fuselage design increases torsional stiffness by over 20% compared to cylindrical fuselages.
Who is it for?
The Balz Pro 905 Integrated Backtail complete foil kit is designed for ambitious and technical riders, freestylers seeking pop and control, downwind and wave riders craving speed and flow, and anyone who wants a hydrofoil that feels like a natural extension of their body. The Front Wing's increased surface area of 998 cm² and early take-off at 10 to 12 knots make it a top choice for wing sessions in light to medium conditions. The MONOBLOC Full Carbon construction guarantees minimal flex and torsion, smoother transitions, instant feedback, and a truly connected ride feel.

FAQ, SABFOIL BALZ PRO 905 BLACKBIRD INTEGRATED KIT
Sabfoil positions the KBZ-905-385-85/BB as a complete foil kit for Freestyle Pro riders, freestylers, freeriders, wave riders, and Fast Freeride enthusiasts. Its primary target covers wing foil and surf foil in light to medium conditions. It offers take-off at 10 to 12 knots and reaches a top speed of 25 to 27 knots for an 80 kg rider.
Both complete foil kits share the same mast (M85/BB) and screw set. The key difference lies in the Front Wing and stabilizer: the 905 includes a 998 cm² Front Wing (versus 792 cm² for the 805) and a 185 cm² stabilizer (versus 170 cm²). This results in an earlier take-off speed (10 to 12 knots versus 13 to 15) at the cost of a slightly reduced top speed (25 to 27 knots versus 28 to 30). Sabfoil targets the 905 for light to medium conditions, and the 805 for medium to strong conditions.
Sabfoil offers two configurations of the Balz Pro 905 complete foil kit: Integrated Backtail (KBZ-905-385-85/BB, this kit, with the fuselage integrated into the Progressive 385 stabilizer) and Modular Full Carbon (KBZ905-FCM-370-85/BB, same price of €1889, modular configuration). Sabfoil states that both versions deliver the same performance.
Yes, the complete foil kit includes all necessary components: the WBZ905/BB Front Wing, the Progressive 385 stabilizer integrated into the fuselage, the Piantone Blackbird 85 mast, the Carbon Rail plate with titanium inserts (CP02K/Ti), and the complete screw set (MHQ02, MH144, MH137, MH160, MH171, MH172). Only the board needs to be provided.
Sabfoil offers the Cover Front Wing H bag (reference MA041) for the WBZ905/BB Front Wing, which is explicitly compatible with the WBZ905, WBZ965, BALZ909, BALZ969, WM899, and WM999. For the stabilizer, Sabfoil offers the Cover Stabilizer A bag (reference MA037), compatible with all Sabfoil stabilizers.
