We present the Patrik TS-WAVE board.
RIDE VERTICALLY ON ANY MEDIUM-SIZED AND HOLLOW SHAFT.
OVERVIEW
Newschool Tri-Fin concept with three equally sized S-Wave fins for a real surfing-like feeling on the wave. Better planing compared to the QTS thanks to a lower entry rocker and more surface area in the nose. Perfect for small to medium waves and hollow beach breaks that want to be ridden vertically.
More skatey than the QTS, but plenty of grip for carved top turns. More nervous in longer arcs than the QTS, but better upwind performance. Its agility on unpredictable waves makes this board the perfect onshore and all-round travel companion. Loose and super fast with the ability to move very freely on the wave and easily change the radius of your turn. Excellent board speed and amazing lift for big jumps. Well balanced and smooth in choppy water.
DETAILS
Shape:
Vee in Single Concave in pronounced Double Concave in Tailkick Vee.
Forward facing Widepoint with a relatively narrow squash tail.
Padsand Inserts:
Double inserts on the rear foot for more strength in 4-bolt mounting, an anti-twist backstrap and the possibility to ride the backstrap asymmetrically in traditional 2-bolt mounting. 6 mm thick diamond grooved footpad with an additional 6 mm thick underlayer of soft material, for a total of 12 mm. It is very comfortable and distributes the load of the foot well on the deck construction.
Fins and Boxes:
Factory fin setup: Tri Fin (3 equal sized S-Wave fins)
Alternative setups: Thruster (more rail-to-rail stability), Twinzer (looser, more skatey), Single Fin (best planing, best upwind performance, less radical)
Spread the fins apart for more grip and hold in bigger waves. Bring the fins together in smaller waves for a driving, agile and skate-like feel.
Center fin box: US
Side fin boxes: SLOT
