VIDEO:
A TRUE 3 IN 1 - A SIMPLE CHOICE FOR EVERY CONDITION
SURFING
- It will remind you of the Longboard when surfing as the tail outline makes it respond with ease.
RACING
- It will remind you of the All Star board when racing in all water conditions.
TOURING
- It will remind you of the Touring board when it comes to stability and user-friendliness.
FEATURES
OUTLINE
- Fairly parallel, which delivers a predictable and controlled glide. The wide nose delivers fast acceleration when sprinting as it floats on top of the water. The tail is pulled into a square shape, making it easier to sink for fast buoy turns and most responsive to turn sharply in the surf.
ROUND VEE NOSE
- Helps lift the board to accelerate faster and maintain a higher top speed.
- It also floats over chop smoothly, making it versatile to handle all conditions.
GRADUAL NOSE KICK
- Helps stop the board from diving in the surf and downwind, as well as lifting over chop upwind.
- The curved rocker is fast on flats, smooth in the surf and very capable in chop.
RAIL THICKNESS
- Maintained throughout the entire profile of the board, giving a balanced glide from nose to tail. The Generation is thinner than a Touring and Race board, making it lighter to maneuver and easier to carry.
RAIL TUCK EDGE
- Round to avoid nose catching, sharpening at the middle to create a stable platform, through to sharp edge at the tail to carve in the surf.
DEEP DOUBLE CONCAVE
- Supports the round Vee with stability direct under foot.
RECESSED PAD
- For comfort and stability. The flat deck makes it easy to move freely around when trimming the board and surfing on the tail.
2IN1 SHOULDER CARRY STRAP & PADDLE HOLDER
- Velcro loop to attach your paddle.
- Easier to carry as the board simply hangs effortlessly on the shoulder and free up your hand to multi-task, hold your coffee, or phone.
- When not in use, the bungee sits flat on the board so it doesn't drag in the water.
(Comes with Carbon Top model and can be purchased after-market for ASAP and Lite Tech)
BUNGEE TIE DOWN
- A Bungee tie down in front of the board for storing gear and supplies.
FCS INSERT
- On the nose to attach accessories like a GoPro, phone holder, compass or GPS.
(Available only on Carbon Top models)
THRUSTER FIN SET UP
- A single fin set up provides good straight-line tracking and is easy to buoy turn when racing.
- A thruster set up with the 5.5" side fins proved the best combination for added drive and control to turn the board with ease in surf.
NEW SELF-VENTILATING VALVE
- A self-ventilating air valve is available on the board. This valve is self-ventilating so, it should not be touched or removed - otherwise, you are at risk of damaging the valve system.
Board Constructions
CARBON TOP
LIGHTNESS YOU CAN FEEL
