OVERVIEW
Most brands simply re-use old slalom models and reduce the size of the cutouts and set the straps more inboard and introduce this as the latest freerace design. Our development was done together with purely dedicated free-racers and some pro-riders who were amazed by the performance in powered conditions against pure competition slalom boards. The slightly longer flat under the straps is the key feature for this shape and makes the board plane earlier and ride more stable and safer in rough conditions. With the smaller cutouts it's less loose and easier to control. Wanna go super fast without killing yourself on a competition slalom board? - The PATRIK F-Race is the perfect board for you!
SHAPE
DESIGN & FOOTPADS:
Colorful but simple and clean. This design is a timeless classic.
The 4mm thick diamond groove grip pad has an extra 6mm soft sponge under-layer which makes it a total of 10mm. It gives you a good connection to the board and enough shock absorbance to protect board and bones.
Scoop Rocker:
The slightly extra longer flat between the straps makes the board more stable and does not react to foot pressure as quickly as slalom and is, therefore, more forgiving and keeps it speed more constant.
Volume distribution:
Even foot position for maximum performance and balanced body position. The thickness in the front strap to the nose is reduced for its lightweight while still keeping enough for flotation in non-planning conditions.
Outline:
The outline is identical to the same board width size as the Slalom but is extended in the center to the extra length. The slightly more parallel outline effect into a bit more stability.
Bottom Shape:
The double concaved V with stabilizing side flats from the nose to the front strap absorbs the chop and gives a comfortable ride. The flat panel V under the straps is releasing the water on the upwind rail when the board is pushed onto the leeward rail and therefore increases acceleration and speed and makes the board maneuver controlled through the jibes.
Rails / Tuck:
The boxy rails in the strap area are comfortable and powerful to push against the fin and drive the board up to top speed and let it fly over the chop. The rails in front of the straps towards the nose are very boxy in comparison to the thickness and let the water flow of the rail low with the least friction.
Deck Shape:
A flat deck through the whole board is a stable platform in non-planning conditions and jibes.
Fin box and inserts:
Short Tuttle box for 100, 110 and the Deep Tuttle Foil box for 120, 130, 140, 150. Inside and outside strap position on in front and in the back with every 4x holes for individual settings.

CONSTRUCTION
For this board instead of the Biax Carbon used on the Slalom boards the dedicated Freeracer wished for a more impact-proof material and the full Carbon/Kevlar is just the right material for lightness and extra strength. On the bottom the decision was clear and the more comfortable ride with the Biax Glass is no doubt the right choice.
