This board is designed as a compact Cross Over board that will satisfy the flat waterway enthusiast through to the most capable of wave riders. From entry level riders to experts, from medium to heavy weights and from small to big size waves. Ideally for paddlers who like to trade flat water for surf on a regular basis.
FINS 9’8“ Malibu
Thruster fin set up | Big fin: 16 cm US box Two M7 side fins: 11,9 cm | 4‘6“ | FCS key
Shape
Very easy to paddle thanks to its large flat deck. This board offers great stability, due to the generous width and volume of the rails in the central area. To ensure maximum manoeuvrability in the waves, a full rocker will allow you to carve without losing speed and acceleration. The classic round pin tail, 50-50 round rails and round v-bottom will help you to keep your drive smooth in the curve. The concave nose will significantly improve your balance when riding on the nose of the board.
PROVEN SURFBOARD CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE
The construction is built in a mold which has the advantage that all boards are identical. Three layers of fiberglass cloth are wrapped around the styrofoam core in an epoxy resin matrix to form an inner sandwich wall in combination with strong and durable 1.0 mm original wood including an extra layer of wood on the deck. The core materials are then ‘sandwiched‘ into the board during the molding process. The unique properties of wood are its natural rigidity, superior resistance to compression and higher energy absorption compared to other materials.
MAXIMUM DURABILITY AND VALUE
When the wood is molded together with the fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin, a very hard outer layer is created that gives the board a very durable ‘shell’. Because of the extra strength the wood gives the board, the boards are very durable and a lighter EPS foam can be used which makes the boards extremely light. This double wood sandwich construction is an expensive addition to add value to the boards and make them last longer.

THE LIGHTEST BOARDS IN THE MARKET
The advantages of this technoloy are that the boards are all light weights with the highest dynamic shape stability and flex.
Features
• Extra wide outline for increased stability.
• More volume in the back for more balance while surfing.
• Harmonious bottom shape with full soft-up rails for smooth riding.
• Full tail rocker provides great turning characteristics.
• Enough surfing rocker for entry waves.
• The length and flat bottom shape provides enough glide for flat water cruising.
• Mastfoot insert for windsurfing as an option.
