THE WAVE I excels in down the line wave conditions, staying loose with controllable grip in side-on to side-off conditions.
“I designed this board as my personal everyday waveboard and it is my favorite board in any down the line conditions from Santa Cruz to Pistol River to Hookipa. The Wave I combines a parallel mid-section with a subtle hip through the stance to allow radical carving turns in the pocket of the wave. The bottom shape is single concave through the stance for increased grip during carving turns while adding rocker along the rail line to keep things loose. The diamond tail shortens the rail line while providing enough area behind the back foot for stability.” - Jonah Lepak Designer

About the board
General goal | theme of the board/10:
Down-the-line wave: 10
Onshore wave: 9
Bump & Jump: 7
Feel: Modern/technical - Balanced front/back footed
Conditions it's working best:
Good down the line waves from shoulder high to over mast-high.
Skill level it's best for:
Intermediate to Pro.
Early planning:
Good for a waveboard, not the fastest, not the slowest.
Float and ride:
Excellent for float and ride conditions under an experienced rider, volume distribution allows relaxed slogging and it rides small for its volume.
What you thought of when you designed it?
Basically the board that I want to ride almost every day.
What is possibly compromises on then?
A bit more technical to ride than some boards and fin setup is critical to the best performance.
Shape details summary |
Design info
Outline
A somewhat pulled-in nose leads to a short parallel midsection that is broken by a hidden hip starting at the front strap to a moderate width diamond 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
Moderate wave-rocker with continuous curve through the stance and the tail.
Bottom
Flat from the nose to the stance with single concave through the stance and flat/slight vee out the tail. This adds rocker through the stance for a grippy feeling between the feet and the flat/vee out the tail for release.
Deck
Moderate domed deck with thickness flow biased forward to keep a balanced forward stance in sub-planing conditions.
Fins
Quad setup, the recommended position is rear fins directly under the back foot and about a 4cm gap from the front of the back fins to the back of the front fins. The board has a lot of built-in grip and too much front fin can make it too grippy; if more fin is needed, I always recommend sizing up the rear fins first.
Final Statement
The latest iteration in my 30 year quest for the best waveboard possible!
