Wipika Surfboard

:: WAVE RIDING
:: FREERIDE

New for 2006 is Wipika’s Surfboard. Shaped in Maui & developed with top surf kiters Jose Sanchez & Mauricio Abreu. This board is all about surfing & cruising using the power of a kite. It can perform in all types of surf without the need for a trip to Jaws each session. Classic in outline & shape, with a 3 fin design; the board’s size & volume enables the use of a smaller kite, allowing the rider to properly surf with fast bottom turns & hits off the lip without being overpowered.

It was essential that the design would eliminate excessive bounce on chop & be able to handle the power of a kite. This was achieved with less rocker than a standard surf board, the rear half of the board having less volume than the front, a fish tail, a slight edge from the tail to the midway section then turning into a classic surf rail & a double concave in the centre section of the board. The resulting ride is smooth for all levels and progression in wave riding for newcomers to surf is simple.

The board can be ridden with or without straps as you choose & also surfed traditionally without a kite. Size 5’10“(178x47cm) with wood reinforcements, a seamless gelcoat finish. A detachable front footpad in case you want to just surf & various insert positions for the foot straps.

Available through Wipika Dealers from January ‘06. For further enquiries contact WIPIKA info@wipikakiteboarding.com
