Upwind Ready. DownWind Perfected

Expanding the ever-growing Triple Seven Kites range, we are proud to introduce the P.T. UDW – a downwind-oriented wing created to showcase the pure beauty of riding with the wind. Designed for experienced wave riders seeking precision and efficiency, the P.T. UDW focuses on control and performance in a highly compact package. Compared to the P.T. Skin, it features a lower aspect ratio that enhances smooth, predictable behavior during downwind runs, wave carving, and technical approaches near the break. Its short lines and single-skin canopy ensure instant relaunch and accurate maneuverability. A lightweight canopy and shorter bar make the wing exceptionally easy to handle and pack away, reinforcing its fast-stow, fast-deploy character. The P.T. UDW is specifically engineered for minimal pack volume and hassle-free handling in demanding wave and downwind conditions where every second counts. Its ultra-thin profile, supported by a maximized front-line structure and low aspect ratio, delivers strong low-end performance in the smallest possible form factor. As a consequence of this compact, efficiency-focused design, the overall wind range and top-end stability are reduced. Advanced riders will appreciate its direct feel, precise input response, and readiness in dynamic sea states. With rapid relaunch, short lines, and an extremely fast pack-down system, the P.T. UDW is always prepared for the next run.

More than just a wing, it represents an invitation to experience downwind riding in its purest, most compact form.

The P.T. UDW delivers exactly that.

 

Designer’s Note

After developing the P.T. Double Skin and the P.T. Skin, I felt it was time to create something truly dedicated to our downwind riders – a wing that meets their specific needs for easy stowing, quick redeployment, and effortless control on the water.
The P.T. UDW is designed to shine in a wide range of hands. It not only delivers the unique sensation of pure downwind riding, but also offers a super steady ride with an impressively responsive low-end pump. This combination makes it equally rewarding for dedicated wave chasers and for any rider who simply wants a stable, carefree, and confidence-inspiring experience.

Who is it for?

The PT UDW is designed for experienced riders who need extremely fast deployment and the minimum possible pack volume. It’s the perfect choice for those looking for a compact pull device that can be stowed or activated quickly in demanding wave and downwind environments. Its highly sensitive handling comes from the ultra-thin, low-AR profile—optimized for efficiency and low-end response rather than maximum stability. As a result, the PT UDW offers exceptional agility and quick feedback, but with reduced wind range and higher sensitivity at the top end compared to more stable, full-profile wings. This makes the PT UDW ideal for riders who value precision, compactness, and rapid deployment over extended wind range and high-end stability.

 

The Power of a Compact Shape

The P.T. UDW is built with a smaller aspect ratio, a design choice that unlocks several advantages tailored to downwind riding. Instead of worrying about wing tips diving, you can enjoy a super stable platform that lets you focus entirely on finding and linking the right bumps. This shape also delivers a highly reliable redeployment success rate—meaning that whenever you lose the pull of the wave, the wing will be back in action within moments, keeping your ride smooth and uninterrupted.

 

Short Lines, Big Lift

The P.T. UDW features a finely supported airfoil with ultra-short lines. This compact setup not only makes stowing quick and effortless, but also ensures exceptional aerodynamic efficiency. Thanks to a carefully engineered line layout, the wing delivers impressive low-end power, giving you that extra grunt when pumping out of the water and onto the foil.

 

Shorter Bar, Same Triple Seven Feel

The P.T. UDW bar is built from lightweight carbon with a foam-filled core, ensuring it floats when submerged. Thanks to the smaller aspect ratio of the wing, we were able to design a shorter bar that still delivers the signature Triple Seven handling and feel. Its design is simple yet highly efficient, featuring floating B and C lines for an obstacle-free grip. A dedicated front line lengthening system allows you to fine-tune positioning, ensuring the best control and comfort across all flying regimes.

 

Single-Skin Canopy, Maximum Efficiency

As a premium product, the P.T. UDW is built with the same lightweight D10 material as the P.T. Skin. This reduces the canopy’s overall weight and gives the rider a feather-light feel, making the wing effortless to handle in any riding scenario. The canopy itself is a full single-skin design, created specifically for downwind riders who push the limits and sometimes get a little too close to the break. In those critical moments, the P.T. UDW offers a super-fast, reliable relaunch, keeping you confidently in the flow.
