Concave Deck:
The concave deck makes it feel much more stable and comfortable when paddling. This allows you to push your chest forward to generate speed when paddling into the waves, while keeping the board stable. It also makes you feel more connected to the foil with the advantage of the extra volume on the rails for stability.
Rocker Curve:
Faster to paddle, easier to push the nose into waves, and less chance of catching the nose through turns. The widest part of the outline is quite far forward for easy paddling, while the curve in the outline keeps the flow for mid-turn touch downs.
Narrow Nose:
Faster to paddle, easier to push the nose into waves, and less chance of catching the nose through turns. The widest part of the outline is quite far forward for easy paddling, while the curve in the outline keeps the flow for mid-turn touch downs.
Bottom Shape:
The rounded V on the nose helps prevent the nose from sticking on touch downs, instead recovering without losing too much speed. The mid-section runs into a single concave for maximum paddle speed. Larger models have a longer release edge optimizing the early planing at lower speed.
Thick Profile:
Packing a surprising amount of float into such a short length reduces the swing weight, keeping the board easy to pump and turn. The volume is optimized for stability and works with the high apex rail to keep the board as nimble as possible.
Gore Auto Vent:
GORE auto vents provide a waterproof and breathable solution, thanks to their proprietary GORE Membrane. This breathable membrane has a microporous structure that allows air and gases to pass through freely, so pressures are equalized, and moisture diffused before problems arise.
Active Carbon Construction:
The Active Carbon construction creates an extremely strong and stiff standing area, covering an ultra-lightweight fused EPS core. The foil connection features a heavy duty high-density load plate, which carries the load of the foil and connects it to the top deck for a direct connection between the foil and the rider.
