FUTURELITE TECHNOLOGY

The Futurelite carbon and Innegra frame forms a structural skeleton to support the laminates, maximising strength without losing flex, and allowing the board to load and release power on demand for more momentum and responsiveness.

 

NEW VECTORNET IMPACT RESISTANT GRIP RAILS

---

New VectorNET carbon fibre diamond weave adds impact resistance to the rails while maintaining flex. Grip rail profiles on the top deck allow for easy handling in the air and on the beach.

 

FCSII PREMIUM FIN BOX

---

The new lighter weight premium fin box allows for a 9 degree rake. Compatible with FCSI fins and keyless FCSII fins for more speed and thrust, faster acceleration and increased board response. High density foam reinforcements surrounding the FCSII fin box are shaped to match the curved fin box template for a clean bond and smoother load transfer to the board. The fin boxes, leash plug and foot strap inserts are structurally integrated and locked into the laminate with the Futurelite innegra carbon system for extra reinforcement and flex adjustment.

DUALSHOCK EVA INSERTS

---

With a NEW layer of stronger fibreglass under the main impact zones, it adds more durability and helps reduce dents around the heel. Our solution to reduce over-engineering while keeping the boards lightweight and retaining the necessary flex.

 

CARBON TAIL REINFORCEMENT

---

Distributes the load under the kickpad and provides impact resistance and torsional stiffness under the rear foot.

 

NON-SLIP DECK GRIP WITH TOE PROTRUSION AND REAR WEDGE

---

Microcorduro textured EVA deck with intuitive toe bump and rear wedge for maximum traction and control.

 

CONCAVE DECK CONTOURS

---

The concave contours of the deck are embedded into the rider, improving control when boosting and adding another dimension to contact in the air, giving you the confidence to go big without straps and stick the landing.

 

FOOT STRAP INSERTION OPTIONS – RECOMMENDED WITH FREE SURF STRAPS

---

For when conditions get tricky, locking the rider into a comfortable stance for control in high winds or big waves. Experience instant glide in total comfort with our lightweight memory foam surf straps, featuring our exclusive pre-stretched and seamless laminated KnitFlex pre-stretched interiors. Free Straps allow you to customize your fit and stance, giving you the freedom to move and shred in any conditions. Straps sold separately.

 

BEVELED RELEASE RAILS

---

Allow the board to load and release from the water on demand. The beveled profile of the rails reduces the suction effect of the round rails so that water is released from the rail and does not wrap around the deck. This allows the board to get out of the water faster when loading and jumping.

 

---

RECOMMENDED HEXCEL COREMAT FINS SOLD SEPARATELY.

Lightweight, raked fibreglass surf fins with a balanced template for smooth control and projection. New custom fin base shape no longer requires FCSII fillers. Fins are sold separately.

 

NEW QUAD CONCAVE BOTTOM SHAPE

---

Absorbs chop for a smoother ride.

 

NEW COMPACT SURF CONTOUR

---

With a trimmed nose shape to reduce length and weight for easier riding. NEW reduced nose and tail width adds top end control and creates a better wave ride for easier, sharper turns.

 

NEW INCREASED TAIL CURVE AND SMOOTH PROGRESSIVE ROCKER

---

Provides instant speed and thrust from the back foot for optimal upwind performance.
