Top speed with control and smooth jibes are the priority performance aspects of this board. Our F-Race model is not just a modified Slalom board and the shapes are individually developed together with a group of dedicated freeracers and Patrik’s wealth of experience. Derived from the Slalom boards we have improved the tail cutout geometry and gained top speed without compromising any other performance aspect. All the F-Race sizes are built with a foil box and offer to be used on the water or in the air.
A pure developed Freerace board for everyone who wants to go fast with ease on the water or in the air.
SHAPE DETAILS
Scoop Rocker Line
A blend between Slalom and Freeride for a nice performance mix between top speed and control.
Outline
f-race 100 – The actual curve comes from the Slalom 92v3 but it is adapted in the middle to the 5cm extra board length. The Slalom 92v3 is famous for its control and jibing abilities and with the extra 5cm longer flat in the tail area it just makes the control even better.
f-race 110 – The actual curve comes from the Slalom 100v3 and it is adapted to the extra 5cm board length. Same as the f-race 100 it especially excels with control and jibing abilities.
f-race 120 – The actual curve comes from the Slalom 115v4 but it is adapted in the middle to the 5cm extra board length. The Slalom 115v4 has a very wide range of use and it performs well in many aspects with an extra touch of more control and better jibing.
f-race 130 – The actual curve comes from the Slalom 125 and it is adapted to the extra 5cm board length. The overall performance is well balanced with a bit of extra trim towards acceleration.
f-race 140, 150 – The actual curve comes from the Slalom 130 and it is adapted to the extra 5cm board length. The performance is weighted a bit more towards early planning.
Bottom-Shape
Flat panel Vee in the tail area for easy rail-to-rail maneuverability and smooth water release for good control, early planning, acceleration and top speed. The front section has a constant Vee to have a bit more grip and steady drive through the jibes. The double concaves and side flats in the same area provide a smoother ride.
Deck-Shape
S-Deck: Lower back foot, higher front foot and lower mast track allow a comfortable sailing position and give outstanding control during cross and down wind reaches. A flatter deck across the axle makes the board responsive to foot pressure for easier and more controlled jibes.
Rail-Shape
Nice boxy rails in the tail area for a comfortable foot position in the straps. Boxy rails in the mid section to avoid the water sucking up the deck and to provide flotation throughout and after the jibes. Thin rails in the nose area to reduce weight and gain on reactivity.
Cut-outs
f-race 100, 110 – To achieve maximum control those two sizes are without cutouts. The drive and acceleration through and out of the jibes are truly amazing.
f-race 120, 130, 140, 150 – The new cutout geometry is derived from the Slalom development and tested as well on the f-race models. As hoped for the result was the same and increased the top speed without compromising any other performance aspects. The smaller tail surface reduces drag and helps increase acceleration and top speed. The depth is at 10mm to increased tail pressure to keep the board riding more flat which helps early planing and control.
Inserts
Exterior position for more leverage power, more performance and more aggressive sailing style to please the ambitioned racer. Interior position for more control and handling for riders who love the 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 Carbon/Kevlar with the full fiberglass bottom is the construction combination to have a light and stiff enough board to plane early, make fast rides feel smooth and controllable and still have very good impact strength on the deck.
GET : The full biax fiberglass construction on deck and bottom make the board feel very smooth, more comfortable and more controllable.
