Met veel plezier introduceren wij de Tribal Radix slalomboardlijn. Na een uitgebreide R&D van meerdere jaren hebben Chris en Peter nu de eerste productieserie van Tribal Boards voltooid.

SHAPE

The slightly increased length (239cm) 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 speed 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 onto the plane.  The parallel outline minimizes both drag, and spray during chop impact events.

Pin Tail - for snap turns and low wake generation, resulting in lower drag.

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

Deck Concave - subtle use of deck concaves to stiffen up the deck surfaces without adding extra weight. 

Ultra Profile - 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.

BOTTOM SHAPE

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

Beveled Double Concave Hull - 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 it 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.

LAY-UP

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 good compromise between stiffness and softness in the boards.

CUT-OUTS

Chine Cutaways - 4 major benefits over conventional cut outs: 

Increases active surface area when getting planing 
Loosens trim at higher speeds allowing higher maximum speeds 
Act as trim tabs when the board might otherwise be tail-walking 
Results in an incredibly fast, stable and free trim on the water

VALVE

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.

STRAP POSITIONS

Vario-Inserts - provide adjustable strap spacing to allow for use with boots or barefoot riding, along with options for forward and rear placement and spacing catering for all shapes and sizes.

FAQ

What will be included in the board's delivery?

We ship all boards (Radix and Rapid) in a fitting boardbag to make sure they will stay safe during transport and handling. You can use this daypack to transport the board safely yourself, but please do not store a wet board in the bag or keep the board in the boardbag without ventilation for a long time.

Also included in the package are of course the footstraps and screws, and fin screws to make sure you are well prepared to take your new board to the water for the first time. If you have any questions regarding the footstrap set-up or way of attachment to the board, please do not hesitate to contact us for more useful tips and advice!

How do I attach my footstraps properly?

We deliver the footstraps with 2 options. We have included a set of plastic plates to use when you have chosen to mount the straps with 2 screws at each side. If you use only 1 screw, it's also possible to use these plastic plates, but they can twist a little. To avoid this twist, we will also supply the iron plates, which is basically the way to go with the 1-screw set-up. 

Apart from personal preference and what you are used to, the recommended starting position to mount the footstraps to your board will be second from the back and then spaced as wide as you like or need. The front straps can consequently also be mounted to your liking to make sure you have your preferred spacing between the footstraps on the board. Again, if you have any doubts or questions, just drop us a line for some advice or tips! 

We recommend not using a powertool to mount the straps but to do it manually, just using the correct size screwdriver. A powertool might be too powerful and drive in the screws way further than needed or damage the heads of the screws.

First impressions riding a new Radix 88

This is a first board from Tribal that I have bought.
Short notice about myself: I am surfing for the last thirty years. I am freeride and speed oriented surfer, participating in online and “live” speed events. Being a woman I am relatively light (58 kg) and small (165 cm). I have used previously following small slalom boards: Patrik Slalom 87 l, Patrik Slalom Airinside 95 l, RRD X-Fire 90, Goya proton 96 l, pre-Bringdal Mistral Slalom 80 l (2008?), RRD Anders Bringdal Slalom 75 l, Patrik Speed 80 l, Tabou Manta 74 l, F2 Thommen 95 l.
I have tried last month 63-liter Mistral speed board shaped by Chris Lockwood and I was really impressed by it! I was looking for the new small slalom board, and as soon as I have got to know that Tribal boards are shaped by Chris Lockwood I have ordered the Radix 88. I do not ride true slalom races, so I was looking for a fast freeride board, which I can use for fun and for some speed runs in medium wind and real-world conditions.
The board has arrived very carefully packed: a thick cardboard box outside, then a cardboard honeycomb structure, which protected the board, which was lying inside a board good quality bag (on the picture). The board is very light and the build quality is simply immaculate! Lying in the living room it was looking like a candy – simply irresistible!
As soon as the wind conditions have allowed me to use a 6.3 slalom sail I have taken the Radix to the local lake near Leipzig. The wind conditions here are normally pretty bad: the wind is very gusty – it means the gusts are pretty short and vary in strength from 10 to 30 knots multiple times on one leg. All the lakes here were previously an open brown coal mines – it means that they are pretty deep, normally around 50 m deep. As the wind picks up a pretty large chop and small rolling waves appear very quickly.
As soon as the first light gust arrived I have pumped the Radix on the plane and I have immediately recognized the feeling I know from the Mistral speed board. Even underpowered the board rides very high and free above the water having a great glide. Still it has a very directional feeling and it is always level to the water. Even when the wind picked up and the chop has built up the feeling still remained the same – the board was flying free and very controllable above the chop inviting to push your limits in every gust. Of course, I have accepted an invitation and I have immediately broken an old Saxonian speed record riding the whole 2 km faster which is really unbelievable in terms of speed surfing!
The Radix planes really early for its size and glides through lulls effortlessly, riding so high above the water and having so little water resistance. Tacking and jibing were also very easy and comfortable. The slalom riding stance is very natural on all courses. And the foot straps are very comfortable and still hard enough to control and rail the board.
All in all it is really a brilliant board offering a great combination of effortless gliding and control, which I was looking for a long time. It has a free feeling and acceleration of a speed board without sacrifices one has to make when riding a true speed board.
