Wood Carbon Construction

The Wood Carbon construction blends carbon reinforcements with a wood layer to enhance comfort and durability. The added damping from the wood smooths out chop and vibrations, resulting in a more forgiving, stable ride. On the Carve, this construction excels in long freeride sessions, offering easy control, confidence at speed, and reduced fatigue, ideal for riders prioritising comfort without sacrificing performance.

The Carbon Sandwich construction is focused on maximum performance and responsiveness. With a lighter overall weight and higher stiffness, it delivers faster acceleration, sharper control, and a more direct connection to the water. On the CARVE, this translates to quicker planing, a livelier feel underfoot, and higher top-end speed for riders who want a sportier, more dynamic freeride experience.
