Race II

GENERAL GOAL | THEME OF THE BOARD /10:

Down-the-line wave: 8

Onshore wave:10

Bump & Jump: 10

Feel: Modern/easygoing - Balanced front/back foot

CONDITIONS IT'S WORKING BEST:

Bump & Jump to overhead down the line. 

SKILL LEVEL IT'S BEST FOR:

Novice to Pro.

EARLY PLANING:

Excellent.

FLOAT AND RIDE:

Excellent for float and ride conditions, the wide nose climbs over whitewater easily and extra width plus flatter deck is nice and stable.

WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF WHEN YOU DESIGNED IT?:

I wanted to translate some of the very stable and easy riding characteristics of the windSUP into a modern freewave board to please a wide range of riders.

WHAT IT POSSIBLY COMPROMISES ON THEN?:

Maybe not the best choice for big down the line waves.

OUTLINE:

A somewhat short outline with a very wide nose and the widepoint pulled forward leads to a smooth curve through the stance and a moderately wide squash tail.

RAILS:

Very soft tucked rails in the nose area with a release edge starting forward of the front strap and remaining tucked to the back strap.

ROCKER:

Low wave-rocker with extra nose kick and continuous curve through the stance and flat out the tail.

BOTTOM:

Flat from the nose into a double concave under the mast base transitioning through to stance to flat out the tail. The double concave promotes early planing and a softer ride while the flat adds speed early planing. 

DECK:

Flattened deck with an even thickness flow to keep a balanced forward stance in sub-planing conditions.

FINS:

Thruster setup with larger center and sidebites.

FINAL STATEMENT:

Powerwave blasting, bump & jump or float and ride down the line the Wave C does it all.
