The Phantom development started by reviewing classic longboards from the early eighties. Light wind features were integrated by keeping a rounder middle and front section with lots of forgiving �tuck-under� rails and a length stretching to 300 cm. The middle back rocker is flat for planing and improved high wind characteristics. The stretched hull provides directional stability and the 80cm width a slippery feel in a �happy� non-planing mode.
The 3 step adjustable mast track has markings to indicate ideal settings. When the 3 step mast track is in the front position, the board steers well into the wind with the 50 cm daggerboard. With the track in the middle position and the dagger retracted, the board glides comfortably, easily and gradually onto a plane. By using the back track position, the 54 cm fin engages with a more powerful planing feel for reaching in higher winds.
A full EVA deck design provides extra comfort; the softer rubber gasket seal and extra large EVA knob makes operating the daggerboard easy.
The board is a missing link between progressive lightwind cruising and a comfortable in-the-straps planing sensation.
