Construction and Design

• Soft IXPE cross-linked polyethylene deck
• Lightweight EPS foam core
• Fibreglass stringer insert
• High-density HDPE slick bottom
• Channelled underside
• Crescent-tail profile
• Double rails
• Integrated leash attachment
• CERES planet-inspired underside graphic

What Does the Fibreglass Stringer Do?

The internal fibreglass stringer reinforces the EPS foam core. It helps improve longitudinal stiffness, reduce unwanted flex, maintain the board's profile and provide a more responsive ride.

How Does the HDPE Slick Bottom Affect Performance?

The high-density HDPE bottom is designed to reduce water drag, support acceleration and glide, and work with the underside channels to direct water flow beneath the board.

How Does the Crescent Tail Affect Control?

The crescent tail is designed to improve grip on the wave, support directional control and provide a secure riding position during carving and turning.

How Should the Wrist Leash Be Used?

• Attach the supplied leash securely before entering the water.
• Inspect the wrist cuff, cord and leash plug before each session.
• Adjust the cuff so it cannot slide off the wrist.
• Do not attach the leash around the neck or fingers.
• Replace a stretched, cut or damaged leash.
• Do not use the leash for towing.
• Do not rely on the leash or board as rescue equipment.
