Sizes: 55 / 62,5 / 72 / 85 (width)
Discipline: Slalom
- Control and top speed – that’s what it’s all about when you want to be on the podium. The three Slalom boards – 62.5, 72 and 85– are designed for blasting at PWA competition speed. Also, lighter riders will remain in control even when fully overpowered enabling them to get up to top speed. The 85 provides great planing power in light conditions. And the smallest 55 has proven its qualities on speed slalom tracks like the Defi Wind.
- When designing this line, team's focus was to increase the average speed across the race course, paying special attention to gybing where some of the biggest gains can be made during a race. Here, the target was to maintain speed throughout the turn and to exit faster.
- The 3 bigger shapes offer an improved, more locked and stable riding position. Far less effort is required to reach and maintain top speed and all of them provide great early planing power and a wide range of use. The tails of these boards are wide and provide lots of leverage towards the fin, resulting in more power and control.
- The smooth deck shape guarantees a super comfortable stance. The rider preserves energy to push his limits on longer runs.
- Each board size features a unique tail cut-out configuration to find the perfect mix of release and lengthy rail line for control.
- From the mid-section of the board towards the nose the apex point of the rail is lifted. That way the boards gained some volume in the rail which helps exiting gybes with speed.
- Beside the concave deck shape board features an additional recess for the deck box. The pivot point of the mast base drops and provides additional control when pushing the limits and during the gybe. “Close the gap”: The lowered sail foot creates the most efficient airflow.
- The first cut-outs of the 72 and 85 start much further forward and the curve of the cut-outs increases towards the tail. The tail is re-designed for a more even water flow around the fin in order to provide steady fin pressure for permanent power and top speed. The 72 finishes with a wider inner cut-out for more stability and the 85 with a more pointy finish for extra release. The 62,5’s different cut-out starts closer to the fin providing more stability in high winds. Behind the fin, designers reduced the surface area for perfect water release.
Six core design elements guarantee the perfect set-up for PWA racing:
- The 55 and 62.5 come with the normal Tuttlebox. The 72 and 85 feature JP’s specially reinforced Foil-Tuttlebox.
It's simply fun to sail at maximum pace and wind races!
