Technology and construction
- Concept Blue: construction with flax, which damps and adds smoothness, and basalt, which adds response.
- Soft Flex: softer materials and thinner cores for a smooth, forgiving ride.
- Absorption Flex Tips: flexible tips: flat in light wind for fast planing and curved in strong wind for control.
- Torsion Flex: controlled torsion for more grip on the heel-side rail, soft landings and better upwind ability.
- Space Flex: stiff frame and flexible tips: early planing and smoother turns.
- Angled Rails: angled rails for more grip and better upwind ability.
- Performance Outline: more comfort in chop, better light-wind performance and softer landings.
- Double Concave Bottom: double concave for grip, stability and smooth planing.
