FREESTYLE WAVE BOARDS JP 2010: FULL WOOD SANDWICH Full wooden deck with Kevlar reinforcements.d Finish.

This board is so much fun to sail. It’s a board for all conditions, it planes super early, great for flying out through the surf easily and letting rip a big air! High speed, great turning and jibing are also part of the package. That is the reason why it earned its position over the years as the benchmark board in its group.

With particular attention to retaining the proven balanced performance, which works perfectly in any conditions, we focused the new design improvements on easy sailing and a more comfortable ride, also adding greater radical wave riding ability.

SHAPE

This year we have introduced a double concave V bottom from the mid section of the board to the nose. This design concept swallows chop and lets the board glide over it. The sailor can concentrate on his stance and not worry about the waves pushing the board around. An additional advantage of this shape is the extra grip in the turns.

The proven channel bottom between the foot straps provides extra lift and grip in straight line sailing. The combination of the straight rocker line in the channel and the additional curve to the left and right of the channel supplies the unmatched combination of great maneuverability and high speed. The mixture of concaves and channels deliver a perfect combination of performance and comfort.

In the waves you get stacks of speed and drive in even the crappiest waves, making things like powerful front side smacks and aerials possible even in side onshore conditions.

The footstrap options allow the rider to change the handling characteristics from wave mode to a great blasting board for costal and flat water conditions.

SUMMARY

The perfect All in One boards. They cover it all - bump and jump, freestyle and wave sailing. Easy enough for everybody but at the same time exciting for the experts. Loose enough to be classed as a wave board and balanced enough for big sail carrying capacity, probably the most versatile boards ever produced.
