THE TEST WINNERS!
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 and more experienced sailors, with an incredible all-round performance.

As with our other Freeride boards, the Shark is also now offered in two versions, a quality/durable HRS version, and the new improved Carbon Sandwich Limited Edition, for the absolute best Freeride sessions ever!

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 foot-steering 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.

Key Features:
- Moderate centre and tail widths for optimal balance vs. performance feeling
- CAD balanced volume distribution which allows extra volume to “disappear” once planing
- Fuller rails to keep speed during manoeuvres and for early planing

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

The Shark LTD Edition has a Carbon Sandwich construction, with light finish and a G10 fin - for the Freeride experience of a lifetime!
