Without a doubt the hardest boards to develop are those which must combine the most elements to appeal to all riders. Our philosophy for our bigger freeride line, the Sharks, is not just to take the easy option of building wide, easy to plane shapes with low performance ranges. We took a much harder approach and developed freeride boards which are not extremely wide, or fashionably short, can be used by intermediates or more experienced sailors and have an incredible allround performance.

All outlines, scoop rocker lines as well as the rail shape and the bottom design were carefully analysed in the computer, then shaped by a CNC machine. The result is a perfectly balanced shape, with loads of performance and maximum comfort for sailing. Especially different in feeling is the new re-tuned rocker line, which is a lot smoother than the previous models, particularly in choppy water - the Sharks float effortlessly and do not lose any of their great top end potential, with a free, fast feeling. Optimal centre and tail widths make the Sharks very easy to jibe and control, perfect for intermediates learning footsteering and easy planing. The perfectly smooth rail/deck shape and multiple footstrap options ensure all freeriders will feel totally at ease and get the maximum performance out of the Sharks.

The Shark HRS is perfect for everyday use, with it´s tough High Resistance Skin and is an unbeatable value package.
