That's why we didn't go the usual route of creating an "easy going" freemove board and then trying to implement as much classic wave and freestyle skills into the shape. Instead, we went the other way around.
In other words, the basis of the development was a potent new school freestyle board, which automatically led to maximum acceleration and pop.
This shape was then tuned so that it also functions as a capable wave board in logo-high side-on waves. For the ULTRA FreeWave to work in side-on wave conditions, it had to become crisp and direct plus truly work with a tri-fin setup.
Now let’s see what are the key ingredients of a great Bump&Jump Freemove board? For us it’s all about great acceleration, control and manoeuvrability.
But what’s really new and unique for such a board is the crisp feeling. Instead of feeling dull and boring to ride the ULTRA FreeWave offers an exciting ride sensation without sacrificing control or wind range. This is the reason why the FreeWave has been given the ULTRA suffix. The ULTRA FreeWave not only offers excitement when performing or learning new manoeuvres, but is also super exciting in a straight line and therefore puts a smile on your face throughout the entire session.
Our second priority was to create the first manoeuvre convertible that works equally great in single- and tri-fin setup and dramatically changes its character:
>> With the tri-fin setup it offers 70% of the GRIP 3 wave potential (top/bottom turns)
>> With a single fin setup it now feels a lot more exciting than its predecessor
>> Combined with a capable freestyle fin, the ULTRA FreeWave offers 70% of the hardcore freestyle potential of the SKATE
But we haven't stopped there yet. Instead of the industry-standard semi-custom technology the ULTRA FreeWave is now build in a FULL CUSTOM Technology which is the same way high-end custom boards are made. As a result, both versions are approx. 200g lighter than the previous models, but yet even stronger.
So you see, the legendary FreeWave has been improved in all respects deservedly becoming the ULTRA FreeWave.
The ULTRA FreeWave comes in 6 sizes of 74, 84, 94, 104, 112 and 119 litres for heavier riders and lighter winds.
Available in 3 FULL CUSTOM constructions:
+ FULL CUSTOM SLS Technology: STRONG-LIGHT-SUPERIOR
+ FULL CUSTOM D/LAB Technology: build like the most high-end custom-made boards
+ FULL CUSTOM PVC-WOOD Technology: no one offers a better price - weight - durability ratio
