This shape is optimized for extreme conditions

180BPM rtsurfboards shape2

Pure adrénaline !

A model meant to be used with assisted take-off, capable of offering the surfer the confidence needed to express himself at his best in extreme conditions.

Stability at high speed, confidence in the hollowest parts of the wave, trust leaning on the rail, sincerity in reactions…

All the characteristics of this model are optimized to get you through the most exhilarating sensations.

Pushing the boundaries,
by mastering the elements…

With no concern about paddling efficiency, all the details are designed to ensure the best mix of speed, control, hold and riding comfort.

The shape finds its balance in the fine blend of the different elements: fairly wide rear, moderate concave depth and quite generous rail profile (for this type of board).

The thickness line, especially in the front part, has a specific design, aimed at optimizing both the weight distribution and the aerodynamics of the board.

Particular attention is paid to defining the ideal weight, according to the conditions to be faced, to allow the board to react in the most appropriate way.

Shaper’s breakdown

“This model has really specific lines: the take-off being “assisted”, I was free to focus exclusively to the efficiency on the face of the wave.

To develop a model that can be used in extreme conditions, I spoke at length with surfers to understand what aspects were really essential in the heat of the moment…
The feedback pushed me to develop a shape that was above all sincere and easy to use, delivering flawless confidence and trust.

The proportions of the outline, the rocker line, the depth of the concaves, the volume distribution and the profile of the rails all blend into a balanced and efficient mix.

The choices of stratification and the possible addition of extra weight allow the efficiency of the board to be precisely adjusted.”

Size chart

For this type of board, more than the measurements, it is interesting to optimize the weight and its distribution, depending on the wave conditions and size you expect to face…
Here is an idea for the appropriate weight, depending on the conditions (weight of the board excluding fins and footstraps):
For solid conditions: approximately 4.0 Kg
For very solid conditions: approximately 6.0 Kg
For very, very solid conditions: approximately 8.0 Kg

More tech

The outline has a narrow and fluid design, ideal for drawing sweeping lines at high speed; the tail is reasonably wide, to provide the right support for the rear foot, with a specific design to reduce drag at high speed.

The progressive and moderate rocker line and the subtly measured single concave deliver a fluid and sincere character.

The thickness is distributed harmoniously, with a front section designed to improve weight distribution and aerodynamic efficiency.
