Bottom Shape
Time and again, we tested different bottom shapes with one result:
The bottom was perfect already on the FX 100.
. Flat Scoop-Rocker-Line for less resistance against the upcoming wind an
stability over the lateral axis.
. Parallel double concaves with plane side areas in the middle and front
section for a smooth run over the wave and stability over the longitudinal.
. Flat on the tails for a maximum acceleration and top end speed.
. A slightly .V“, for loose and controlled manoeuvres.
Outline
. A straight outline at the tail to keep straight forward and go upwind on
an extreme angle.
. The widest point more to the front stabilises the board along the longitudinal
axis and makes the handling of bigger sails easier.
. With the straighter outline at the tail, we could make the board shorter
without loosing stability.
Deckshape
. Concaves with a recessed mast track to get higher stiffness and better
control.
Rails
. Thick rails without tucked in the front area prevent current flow over
the board and sticking to the water with the nose
. Straight rails without tuckeds at the tail prevent to cut in with the
rail and lets the rails float up.
Bevels
. Extreme bevels at the nose prevent to dive into upcoming waves.
. bevels up the front foot strap breaks off the water current flow better
and prevent to suck in upcoming wave.
Biscuit Cuts
. Reduced surface at the tail, clear break off current flow and going through
waves like a comb without loosing stability creates a better acceleration
and an extreme high top speed.
