Our Freeride designs are built for long term. The f-rides were tested over a two-year development cycle with direct input from a select group of freeriders in combination with Patrik’s wealth of experience. The shapes are specifically designed to be more comfortable and user-friendly in all aspects of freeriding, including early planning, controlled blasting and easy gybing.
The f-ride will make everyone smile while early planning and easy gybing but will surprise you also acceleration and top speed.
Shape Details
Scoop-Rocker-Line
A well balanced curve, which has proven to be extremely comfortable in its application. Due to the lightweight construction, the flat section in the tail has been drawn out, which makes the board more stable and controllable whilst also offering earlier planing and increased drive through the gybe.
Outline
Slightly longer in length for earlier planing and a narrower width for increased control and more responsive rail-to-rail maneuverability in the gybe. The narrower width also makes the board feel more comfortable with increased control resulting from a more board centered body position.
Bottom-Shape
V with double concaves and side flats in both the nose and directly beneath the mast track to provide a softer and more controllable ride. Flat V in the tail area for easy rail-to-rail maneuverability and smooth water release for early planing, acceleration and a good top speed.
Deck-Shape
Moderately domed deck throughout for superior comfort underfoot in every situation.
Rail-Shape
Thin up front to reduce weight. Boxy rails in the mid section for balance, stability and additional float during the gybes. Slightly boxy in the tail for increased support and a more comfortable foot position in the straps.
Inserts
Exterior position for more leverage power for more performance and more ambitious sailing style. Interior position for more control and handling for riders who love the true comfort.
Construction
With our additional GET line we respond to the constant request for a softer construction and offer a more comfortable ride next to our sporty line. Our GBM line is the stiffer and lighter construction using materials with a higher Carbon percentage while our GET line offers more flex and comfort with the softer fiberglass material.
GBM: The full deck and bottom Carbon/Kevlar construction has the best impact strength to weight ratio and are lighter, plane earlier and ride more direct.
GET: The full biax fiberglass construction on deck and bottom makes the board feel very smooth, more comfortable and more controllable.
