Xwave V3

Shaped by the challenging conditions of choppy beach breaks and unpredictable gusty onshore winds commonly encountered along the European coastline, the 2024 Xwave design has evolved to thrive in these elements.

Central to the new design is its fast rocker line. With improved acceleration and upwind mobility, Xwave can escape the shore break and swiftly reposition itself within the line-up.

New Xwave adopts a more moderate outline curve by moving the widest point of the board further forward. With significantly reduced drag, the board can maintain its momentum through deep and wide bottom turns.

When the wave conditions turn on, the Xwave can adapt and readjust its turning radius accordingly. The tail is narrowed just behind the back footstrap, coupled with a subtle tail kick. The combination allows the board to be more back-foot driven when needed through both bottom and top turns.

Xwave can be set up with a single fin or tri-fin configuration depending on conditions or personal preference.

Characteristics

ONSHORE WAVE DESIGN

In contrast to the hollow and smooth reef breaks in side to off-shore winds, the majority of European waves are beach breaks with onshore winds. Given that most of the riding involves going against the wind, with the sail obstructed by the wave itself, the shape of the Xwave is designed to sustain speed and momentum through transitions.

VERSATILITY

With multiple fin and footsraps setup options, Xwaves can be customized to match a range of individual styles and sailing conditions.

While initially tailored for performance in sloppy waves, the board's shape features enable riders to adjust the turn radius for when the conditions improve.

Moreover, the pronounced bottom V shape serves to mitigate the impact of chop, rendering the board suitable even for challenging windy bump & jump conditions.

CARBON INNEGRA CONSTRUCTION
Achieving a balance between weight, stiffness, and impact resistance, Carbon Innegra is crafted by blending two distinct fabrics. The inherent robustness and rigidity of carbon fibers permit a reduction in fiber quantity, resulting in weight savings. Integra, hailing from the same category as Kevlar, proves especially effective against pin-point damage.

DOUBLE DENSITY SHOCK ABSORBERS (DDSA)
Positioned beneath the rider's feet when secured in the footstraps, the shock absorbers are designed to offer heightened comfort during challenging conditions and landings from jumps. The combination of triple layer footpad and DDSA minimizes strain on the rider's body, particularly during some heavier landings, and enhances overall comfort.
