PlacidWave

PlacidWave

As the name suggests, PlacidWave is a real guarantor that behaves really gently on the smaller, less perfect waves.

 

It is designed for side-on / onshore conditions where speed retention and kinetic energy are paramount. The wider tail and moderately curved rocker help maintain momentum and glide speed as you turn on the wave after the bottom turn.

 

The bottom of the board runs from monoconcave to doubleconcave for a quick ascent, and the design of the tail section ending in "V-concave" to "flat V" allows for tight turns.

You can get the most out of PlacidWave with a quad or a slightly "looser" twinfin setup.

 

You can ask a more curved rocker to turn even tighter, but that requires some compromise on gliding performance.

Constructions and prices
S-Glass (flex)
Carbon (stiff)
Dyneema (superflex)

S-Glass (flex)

One of the most popular constructions due to the excellent mechanical properties of s-glass, which are 30% better than plain glass fabric. In addition, its excellent flexibility makes it suitable for use primarily on wave boards. Combined with carbon or dyneema fabric, it will be an excellent combination of flexibility and durability in the most mechanically used areas (such as standing area, mastbox, rails, and finboxes).

 

The S-Glass (flex) construction is available in 3 versions:

 

Light

Complete s-glass layers on the deck and bottom of the board. Our lightest construction, in which we place carbon fabric only around the mastbox and under the footstraps. Primarily waveriding specific construction, this is not recommended for high jumps.

Regular

With this construction, weight and durability are taken into account so that you can always get the most out of the board. Heavier than the Light construction, but thanks to the extra carbon reinforcements, it is suitable for all styles and all conditions.

Hardcore

Our strongest S-Glass (flex) construction, which withstands even the highest jumps and the roughest impacts, but even if a big wave washes on the stones, it makes carbon and dyneema reinforcements almost "indestructible".

Carbon (stiff)

This construction is recommended for those looking for a early panning, direct board, especially for freestyle, freeride and slalom boards, where weight, rigidity and quick response are paramount.

 

The Carbon (stiff) construction is available in 3 versions:

 

Light

A full layer of biax-carbon on the deck and bottom of the board and s-glass reinforcements will be tight and light. Due to its tightness, it is more vulnerable than the S-Glass (flex) construction, so it is recommended for those who are looking for a board with extraordinary planning properties, but handle it with care.

Regular

Full biax-carbon layer on the deck and bottom of the board, with extra carbon and s-glass reinforcements for a tight but more stress-resistant construction.

Hardcore

Full biax-carbon layer on the deck and bottom of the board, with extra carbon, s-glass and dyneema reinforcements. This super-strong construction is mainly recommended for freestyle boards due to the high mechanical stress.

Dyneema (superflex)

This super impact-resistant construction is the perfect choice for those who are under extreme stress from the board. High jumps, loops, but the rocks are no problem either ...

 

The Dyneema (superflex) construction is available in 3 versions:

 

Light

Full layer of light Airlite dyneema fabric on the deck and bottom of the board, with s-glass reinforcements on the standing area and rails, carbon reinforcement around the mastbox and under the footstraps. This is slightly heavier than the S-Glass (flex) Light construction, but more flexible and durable.

Regular

Strong dyneema fabric over the entire surface of the board, combined with s-glass and carbon fabric reinforcements. The perfect balance of weight, strength and impact resistance. An excellent choice for jump and waveride oriented surfers who want a light, flexible but strong board.

Hardcore

The strongest construction !!! Strong dyneema fabric over the entire surface of the board, combined with biax-carbon reinforcements in the most used areas, plus s-glass reinforcements on the rails and on the stringer. A "flat landing" or just a rock ... should be no problem.

Finboxes and inserts

PlacidWave quad fin placement: 10cm front (outer) carbon slot boxes, 12cm rear (inner) carbon slot boxes. But you can ask for either a Thruster or a Twin lineup. You can also order a carbon US box instead of the inner (middle) slot box(es).

 

Our Wave boards are made of stainless, metric double footstrap insert with one position at the front and two at the back, but of course we can expand the board with extra positions according to your request.

 

The Gore-Tex automatic valve is standard on all boards, the advantage of which is that it does not have to be screwed in and out before and after each session, because it is fully automatic, thus protecting the board from delamination due to the pressure alternation.
