Description
Light wind? No problem
The Trace has a straight, progressively squared outline and plenty of surface area to get planing early and point upwind in the lightest winds. A central V and four longitudinal channels give balanced torsional stiffness, excellent grip and more control. Its progressive medium-low rocker is ideal for flat water and also delivers incredible pop for tricks and transitions in light wind, with surprising manoeuvrability for its size. Pair it with the 13 to 19 m Reach to ride as long as possible in the lightest wind, or with the larger Orbits to train aerial tricks.
