The slightly increased length (237cm) results in a longer available waterline through the critical mid section of the board, for superior low speed performance, stability through chop, lull gliding, and gybing exit. The resulting lower impact angles provide a naturally smooth, controlled trim in rough conditions, allowing significantly higher efficiency and comfort for the conditions. The length is added through the mid section of the board, increasing volume without having to go too thick, and extending the planing length at low speeds which drastically improves efficiency and ease of getting into plane.

For snap turns and low wake generation, resulting in lower drag.

Just enough tail kick for looser gybes, maintaining super early planing for the series. Moderate mid section rocker for more aggressive carving when the rail is engaged, and a higher, narrowed nose to allow superior chop clearance and safer nose landings.

Rail shapes designed for ultra-clean release resulting in a dry ride, but with deep engagement during gybing for a dependable, stable carve.

Ergonomically engineered foot profiles, designed for maximum comfort when driving the rail in the most neutral position, and allowing for a maximum steering range through the feet.

The well known Lockwood bottom shape has been revised and used throughout the whole TRIBAL range.

Unique beveled parallel double concave design to minimize chop impact effects and reduce rail pressure, resulting in the smoothest ride on the market, without adding drag. The Bevels put less pressure on the rails when hitting chop and they increase the lift on the front part of the rail during gybes which makes the board turn faster.

Pronounced double concaves prevent the windward rail from dipping when punching through lulls. Overall V assists in railing the board when desired. The combination makes it especially easy and natural to rail the board when needed, and keep it flat at other times.

We chose a full carbon construction with Glass patches for impact. We use BIAX carbon on the bottom and deck of the boards as a very efficient compromise between stiffness and softness in the boards.

We make use of a Gore Tex valve in our boards. The valve doesn’t need to be opened and closed as the membrane allows air pressure to be equalized without water getting through.
