Description
ALL RIDE
Sizes; 96L, 106L, 116L
A new "Multi Purpose" concept, sitting in-between the Freestyle Wave, Freestyle, X-Cite Ride and Super Sport boards. Much like the very first short board Freestyle boards they provide easy planing, easy jibing and an extremely comfortable ride while being really fast. Probably the easiest and most forgiving medium wind boards for jibing available today. You can ride anything with them and enjoy.
The All Ride lets you jump on and do whatever you want to do, without it being complicated, simple plug and play windsurfing is what it's all about.
SHAPE
The 116 uses a proven performance oriented scoop rocker line from the Super Sport range, with the 96 drawing heavily from the highly successful freestyle wave line. The 106 encompasses a combination of the two. All curves are slightly adjusted for each board to perform best in their position on the spectrum between flat water and waves.
Introducing a unique bottom shape, consisting of Vee in the mid section of the board complemented with double concaves, makes it easy to initiate maneuvers and adjust the rail position in the water throughout the jibe. A big advantage to this design is the comfortable ride. Choppy water won't affect the board's smooth ride since the Vee in combination with the double concaves just swallows it.
Towards the back we use our trademark channel concept progressing into flat, then Vee towards the tail. This provides the board with extra lift, grip and maneuverability since the rail line is more curved than the inside line of the channel. This combines the best of both worlds - performance and maneuverability.
The outline is relatively straight between the foot straps then gradually drawn in to a rounded pintail. This rail line supports straight line sailing and makes the board very stable in the water.
Jibing is effortless, the board remains controlled and predictable as you enter the jibe, only for the gliding sensation to take over through the middle of the turn, remaining stable and calm as you head into the foot change. After the rig flip the power comes on smoothly and the All Ride accelerates rapidly back to top speed. The whole process is a natural and delightful transition for the board and rider as one. The board almost jibes itself. The rider only needs to initiate the turn and the board holds that carving edge with incredible ease. You never feel like you're fighting to keep the board on track.
The comfortable stance is a key factor to the perfect all-rounder. The drawn out outline provides much more even pressure on the front and back foot. The deck has a constant radius in the standing area, you always feel connected to the board since it matches the angle of your foot.
SUMMARY
The All Ride concept provides easy early planing, easy jibing and a super comfortable ride while being seriously fast. Their wide tails make them super easy and very forgiving jibers. They work great in rolling waves like you find them in many popular destinations in Greece and Egypt... If you want to ride real breaking waves we recommend our other "All in One" boards - the Freestyle Waves which require a slightly more advanced rider as well. As the All Ride name says it - you can ride anything with them and enjoy. They work in flatwater, bumpy conditions and in rolling waves. You want it all?
