THE WAVE C is a modern take on a freewave board, very fast, a little bit short and stable.
“A couple of years back I was testing out windSUP boards with windsurf rockers and I realized that a wider nose and overall platform would be a perfect board for beginner to intermediate wavesailors. The wide nose and width provide extra stability during sub-planing conditions and extra lift and stability when climbing over whitewater. The lower rocker line and double concave entry get it up and going early and upwind fast while the shorter length keeps swing weight down for snappy turns off the top. Beginning wave sailors benefit from the great stability and early planing, while expert level sailors use the speed and compact feel for massive jumps and translating freestyle moves into the waves.” - Jonah Lepak Designer

About the board
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 planning:
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 is possibly compromises on then?
Maybe not the best choice for big down the line waves.

Design info
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.
