Standup-guide

“The XL’s added volume from the thickness in the standing area makes for an ultra stable but high performance wave board. At 90+ kg this board lets me save energy so I can spend longer out in the waves!” ~Agung Surya Putra

“The new 8’10” was much better in performance over the previous 9’0” model. The board was loose if you wanted it to be through turns, yet so easy to push off the bottom with speed and power. I had so much more fun and excitement generated from the channeled tail & lower volume rails. Ollie and I surfed until sunset with grinning smiles, it was an easy and obvious winner!” ~Antoine Lefebvre

“Thinner rails are easier to engage for greater control and speed down the wave face and for carving drawn out rail turns.” ~Ollie O’Reilly

“The shorter nose outline makes it easier to enter waves with less pressure to engage the nose due to the shorter rocker. What I really like is how the channeled tail gave me more confidence to finish and drive through turns with more control.” ~Bruno Hasulyo

“The 7’10” has more grip and bite through turns and allowed me to push stronger off the bottom to set up for my top turns. Stability also felt better and absorbed the wind chop for a more controlled glide.” ~Antoine Lefebvre

“The new 7’5” generates more speed on the wave, more grip and drive in the bottom turns. All this without loosing lateral and longitudinal stability while paddling: it felt as stable despite being shorter.” ~Franz Orsi “The 7’5” became one of my favorite boards, as it has a really exciting ride from the release and quickness of turns. The new shorter nose shape made a night and day difference as it makes the board feel smaller and clearly more maneuverable without getting caught up on the nose. ~Sean Poynter

“I’ve spent a lot of time and energy testing the new 019 Pro ranges. The new 7’3” has an easier balance on the water for more stability. It also has a really exciting release and pivot in the lip that redirects quicker than models in the past. Driving bottom turns, smooth roundhouses, less hang ups and more squirt, the board is a great improvement from it’s previous model. Can’t wait to ride it more. ~Sean Poynter

“The immediate difference I felt on the 7’0” was an increase in stability. On my first wave I felt speed similar to what the Hyper Nut generates off the bottom, while the top turn felt much more fluid with speed and power over my previous 7’2”. The 2018 7’2” was the board I rode to win the World Championship in 2016, so it’s a huge progression that 019 is that much ahead in performance. I’m stoked to compete on it for the upcoming season.” ~Zane Kekoa Schweitzer
