The World’s first Quad fin wave boards - more drive, more traction, the ability to generate more speed on the wave face, turn closer and tighter, ride more vertical with the ability to go where you want, when you want. When going out through waves, the Quads also help you to stay upwind better than single or twin fin boards, thus positioning you to catch more waves.

The new Twinsers are so easy to turn, and now have the extra control in the turn to ride even more aggressive and committed. Nothing turns tighter than these boards. No matter how experienced you are your wave riding will reach a new level - guaranteed. You won’t believe your own bottom turns and cut backs. The Twinsers shine in side on to side offshore conditions - if you mainly sail in onshore stuff consider the new Wave line.

Following a change in the PWA rules where judges now concentrate on the biggest, most radical moves, board design had to follow, allowing the rider instant pop off the water for pulling the most radical tricks possible.
Even top riders demand forgiving boards. A move might be radical but you still have to land it! That is the reason why we focus heavily on boards that are easy to sail all of the time and radical when you need them to be.

The performance of a freeride board with the accessibility of a beginner board. Going back out windsurfing with the same feeling we had in the past, and with the advantage of modern technology.

This board is so much fun to sail. It’s a board for all conditions, it planes super early, great for flying out through the surf easily and letting rip a big air! High speed, great turning and jibing are also part of the package. That is the reason why it earned its position over the years as the benchmark board in its group.
With particular attention to retaining the proven balanced performance, which works perfectly in any conditions, we focused the new design improvements on easy sailing and a more comfortable ride, also adding greater radical wave riding ability.

KAULI'S TWINSERS
Kauli Seadi 3 times Wave World Champion and originator of the current twin fin trend inspired the whole wave riding scene with his first twinser boards.
His concept proofed its edge allowing every rider to carve more radical turns on every wave. Any rider was able to push his wave riding skills to a new level. His first line was so well received and the feedback overwhelming that we extended the range to 5 sizes. Working with Kauli and his professional approach helped Werner to come up with a board line which offers exceptional performance in average quality waves right up to epic mast high days.
SHAPE NEWS
Kauli and Werner developed a new radical bottom shape using deep double concaves with a very special V flow. The advantages are substantial, unknown grip in the turns combined with lots of lift from the flatter curve inside the concaves make the board ride very freely, fast and comfortable.

With the success of last years Pocket Wave, we have chosen to keep this board the same.
We put in so much time and energy to achieve perfection that it only makes sense to stand behind our efforts. This years Pocket Wave is a result of 4 years of development- it is a solid performer.
New in 2010 is the T-Lab X-Wave Fin line. We shortened for better manoeuvrability, but we kept the same planning and accerleration ability from last year fins!

Taking the exact outline and rocker line from his twin brother, the HD version of the Da Curve is a solid performer. The board turns with precision from the perfected outline and has the stability that comes from the single fin. This board remains a winning classic shape that works for every condition.
|
|
|
A completely new range of boards has been generated for the Da Curve’s. New outlines, new rocker lines and rail shapes are just the beginning of this down the line destroyer. We have learned that a single or twin fin setup work on the same shape, so we will have both options available- single or twin! Our team has been instrumental in getting these boards to where they are now. Top of the line performance, top of the podium results- watch out.

THE SKY IS THE LIMIT
Jason Polakow’s signature line now with an all new twin fin set up.
Since many years Jason is the benchmark in performance. His style is unique and the entire wave scene credits him for his extreme big wave riding skills and unmatched fast, powerful radical carving style.
Jason saw the advantages the twinser set up was offering and has developed boards to mirror his style and perform best in the conditions he loves the most - big, down the line, wave sailing.

Naish delivers the only pro-level production waveboards on the market, while most pros use custom boards by independent shapers that have nothing to do with the product the entire Naish team has been riding production boards since day one.
The result is the best of both worlds - the top riders including Robby Naish and Kai Lenny work directly with the design team to insure custom level performance, yet the boards have the incredible balance of durability, consistency and light weight that is only possible with production technology.

The outstanding performance of our Seal boards in the surf has obviously raised the bar for us. This was forcing us to be very demanding in our new Concept Wave board development and, we set ourselves the objective to design highly manoeuvrable but also much faster shapes, for a different, aggressive, approach of the waves.
|
|
This board triggered a true revolution in the wave discipline, for perfect or light conditions.
The shape has proven to be even more efficient: its manoeuvrability has never yet been equalled on the market; its capacities for surfing are amazing; its control is incomparable in high winds.

Classic wave riding in anything from big hollow surf to small mushy waves. The aggressive squash tail provides flawless release. Snappy and maneuverable. the U-surf II shatters the myth that only narrow boards turn.

The One Freestyle Wave Series™ features fresh new shapes for 2009, plus the addition of a larger size, the ONE 105 to complete the range.
The headlining design improvement for this year’s One Series is also the Progressive Rocker Concept™. The rocker is tuned specifically to meet the performance demands of each board size. In the smaller sizes of 77 and 85, there is more rocker to maximize control and maneuverability. In the larger sizes of 95 and 105, there is less rocker so that early planing and a high top end speed are maximized.
The tuck line and volume displacements are tuned for each size as well, guaranteeing the same positive and playful feeling throughout the range.
The 77 & 85 feature US Boxes, the 95 & 105 feature Power Boxes

Our New Rebound series share the same philosophy as our successful earlier generation Rebounds:
4 harmonious and balanced shapes, optimising both performance and easy sailing.
Some critical parameters influencing the board behaviour have been modified though, to make the New Rebounds more dynamic and livelier, while leaving their easiness unchanged.
Their tail, notably, is narrower evolving into a "round pin".
We now have a truly evolutionary free-wave range, where each volume is fine tuned for its wind and sea range.
|
|
After several years of excellent conception, we have further refined the outline and rocker line for our most popular board in the line.
The Cross III offers better control, planes quicker and is able to ride the waves almost like a true wave board. For those who want to blast around the outside footstrap position is the ultimate for flat water explosions, while the inner straps offers better control and wave riding abilities.
