DOWNWINDERs

A predict wind weather routing from SV Indie Sky

Downwinder Support for Wind & Foil Sports

As we sail between tropical anchorages, SV Indie Sky offers dynamic, mobile downwinder support for a full range of wind and foil disciplines. Whether you’re into kiteboarding, winging, windsurfing, SUP foiling, prone foiling, or parafoiling, we make it easy to chase wind and swell across stunning stretches of ocean — no looping back required.


🛶 Full Support — Stay Safe

  • Catamaran-based staging for smooth launch, recovery, and gear setup
     
  • RIB chase support via our 40hp center console — perfect for rider pickup, safety coverage, or just a quick tow if you fall off foil
     
  • Flexible routing as we cruise between islands, offering multi-mile downwind runs through turquoise water and scenic coastlines
     
  • On-the-water pit crew: Need to switch kites, swap foils, or adjust gear mid-session? We’ve got you. Everything is stored and accessible on board
     
  • Safe, secure storage for wings, boards, kites, and all your kit on SV Indie Sky
     

🌊 Ride Your Line — We’ve Got Your Back

From glassy sunrise foil sessions to windy inter-island runs, we tailor each day’s plan around the conditions and crew goals. Whether you're new to downwinders or connecting long-haul swell lines, we’re here to support — and document the ride if you’d like!

Your gear. Your pace. Your playground.
We handle the logistics so you can focus on the ride.
 

📡 2-Way Comms- Stay Connected

Safety is our #1 priority. For every downwinder:

  • We assign a dedicated spotter on board keeping visual contact with each rider
     
  • We maintain 2-way radio comms with every rider using VHF radios, Milo communicators, or BB Talkin headsets
     

You ride hard — we’ve got your back, from launch to scooping up the last woman or man standing.
