We present the Patrik TS-WAVE board.
RIDE VERTICALLY ON ANY MEDIUM-SIZED OR HOLLOW WAVE.
OVERVIEW
Newschool tri-fin design with three equally sized S-Wave Fins for a truly surf-like feel on the wave. Better glide 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 are meant to be ridden vertically.
More skate-like than the QTS, but with plenty of grip for carved top turns. More twitchy in longer turns than the QTS, but with better upwind performance. Its agility on unpredictable waves makes this board the perfect onshore and all-around travel companion. Loose and super-fast, with the ability to move very freely on the wave and easily adjust the radius of your turn. Excellent board speed and amazing lift for big jumps. Well-balanced and smooth in chop.
DETAILS
Shape:
Vee into single concave into pronounced double concave into tailkick Vee.
Forward-facing widepoint with a relatively narrow squash tail.
Pads and Inserts:
Dual inserts at the rear foot for added stiffness with a 4-screw setup, a twist-resistant backstrap, and the option to ride the backstrap asymmetrically with a traditional 2-screw setup. 6 mm thick diamond-grooved footpad with an additional 6 mm thick underlayer made of soft material, for a total of 12 mm. It is very comfortable and distributes the weight of the foot evenly across the deck.
Fins and Boxes:
Factory Fins Setup: Tri-Fin (3 S-Wave fins of equal size)
Alternative Setups: Thruster (more rail-to-rail stability), Twinzer (looser, more skate-like), Single Fin (best glide, best upwind performance, less radical)
Spread the Fins for more grip and hold in bigger waves. Bring the Fins closer together in smaller waves to achieve a floating, agile, and skate-like feel.
Center fin box: US
Side fin boxes: SLOT
