Patrik AIR-STYLE

OVERVIEW

It's simply amazing to witness what is possible on a windsurfer. The young generation has pushed freestyle to another level. This shape is not just a board with a cut nose but it is a real developed short board and the differences are significant. No matter if in the air or on the water the rotation speed is simply faster and it is the key point to pull multiple moves.

SHAPE

FOOTPADS
The 6mm thick diamond groove grip pad has an extra 6mm soft sponge under-layer which makes it 12mm in total. The special layup uses the hard layer to spread the load onto a wider board surface via the soft bottom layer of the pad. This gives us more impact resistance while keeping a direct feeling under your feet.

SCOOP-ROCKER
Fast rocker line with top planning and acceleration ability and a touch of tail rocker for extra pop.

VOLUME DISTRIBUTION
Very thick under the back strap for maximum push to plane early, accelerate, go upwind and pop.

OUTLINE
The short length with the normal nose width makes the board feel light and compact and makes it spin faster. The wide middle for early planning and stable platform when sliding, rotate and spin on the water. Reduced tail width behind the strap for less wetted surface and better tail sinking when pushing for the pop.

BOTTOM SHAPE
A flat panel V under the mast track for maximum water slide ability and a slight double concave under the straps to absorb the chop and slight better tracking with the short fin used.

RAILS/TUCK
Super soft in the nose area for maximum slide but a bit edgier trough the center to keep the planning and acceleration and sharp in the tail for clean water release and top speed.
