In the dynamic world of wing board development, Smik’s wing boards have evolved to strike the perfect balance between early lift and minimal friction/drag. These boards excel when it comes to performance, outshining their previous incarnation and establishing themselves as market leaders.
Here are the key improvements:
- Reduced Nose Volume: By trimming down the nose volume, we’ve enhanced reactivity while minimizing swing weight. This adjustment ensures stability even in windy conditions.
- Enhanced Chined Rail: Our refined chined rail design minimizes the risk of catching when the rails come into contact with the water. The tail has been pulled in, allowing for tighter carves and reducing the effects of catching.
- Optimized Rocker: While maintaining the kicker in the rocker to reduce water catching, we’ve shortened it to enhance early lift-off. This tweak ensures smoother transitions from water to flight.
- Critical Footstrap and Foil Positioning: Achieving the perfect flight requires precise footstrap and foil placement relative to the board’s volume. We’ve fine-tuned this balance for an exceptional experience.
- Stable Aesthetics: The outline maintains width in the nose and tail, providing stability. Meanwhile, the new hipped pintail, combined with the chine’s bottom shape, prevents tail corners from catching during tight turns or when coming off the lip.
In summary, Smik’s wing boards offer both performance and aesthetics, making them an excellent choice for riders seeking the ultimate flight experience.
