Xwave V3
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
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.
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.
