FREERIDE

We offer two freeride shapes.

PERFORMANCE FREERIDE

If you are looking for a board that has great top speed but is also comfortable and easy to jibe, that’s the shape for you. It’s a bit more technical than our easy freeride model but you’re rewarded with quick acceleration and great top end performance.

This shape will work best with one of our Carbon constructions (light, regular or hardcore).

EASY FREERIDE

If you want a board that will get you planning effortlessly and will make jibes almost by itself, this is the board for you. It’s super smooth in chop and also fast when well powered up.

This shape can be produced in s-glass regular or one of the carbon constructions.

Both Freeride models come with all Flikka’s technical jewels… carbon mast box, carbon power box or optional deep tuttle for foiling, low weight, inox inserts with 2 screws per each side of foot straps, optional Gore-Tex valve.

Our custom Freeride boards are made to your order – they reflect your actual needs. You can give us your preferred specification or range of use and we will come with the best proposal. The only limitation is its maximum width at 91 cm. Some orientational dimensions:

PERFORMANCE FREERIDE
110L 228cm ×70cm
120L 228cm x75cm
135L 228cm x82cm

EASY FREERIDE
115L 235cm x 75cm
125L 237cm x 80cm
140L 238cm x 85cm

For Freeride boards, we divide constructions into S-glass, and carbon. Each of these constructions can be made in light/regular/hardcore version.

S-GLASS
is our most popular construction that works best for the majority of riders. It’s a Combination of S-glass, biaxial carbon and Dyneema fibers which are strategically positioned where their characteristics are most needed- X-carbon construction over the standing area, Dyneema nose and an additional layer of s-glass on the rails. It offers the best combination of strength, impact resistance and price.

S-glass construction is available in 3 versions:
LIGHT: our lightest construction where board weights can get under 5 kg. Suitable for wave riding oriented riders who don’t jump much.
REGULAR: most all-around construction. Combines low weight, high strength, and good impact resistance. Suitable for all types of riders and all conditions.
HARDCORE: our strongest s-glass construction, made for big jumps and heavy landings. Suitable for riders who jump a lot. Build to last.

CARBON
If you need a responsive board then carbon is the right option. Strong for big surface area hits (landings) and extra stiff (be sure your knees and ankles will like it). We recommend these constructions for freestyle, slalom, freeride and bigger freewave boards, where lightweight and high-performance response is important.

Carbon construction is available in 3 versions:
LIGHT: Full high-grade biaxial carbon bottom and deck. These boards are perfect for all who appreciate light, stiff and reactive carbon feeling. More fragile than S-glass constructions and weaker because of high stiffness. Ideal for those searching for super early planning and high-performance oriented board that will be handled with care.
REGULAR: full biaxial deck and bottom with additional plain carbon reinforced deck, this construction is stronger than Light version and therefore better for boards that will be jumped more and ridden harder. Perfect for freestyle boards and slalom boards.
HARDCORE: Full biaxial carbon deck combined with s-glass and unidirectional carbon bottom. Super strong carbon board that can take some big jumps and flat landings. Ideal for HC freestylers who abuse their board in power moves.

Our Warranty Conditions depend on the chosen construction. You might check that as well.

We offer a variety of graphic design options when ordering a custom board. You can order a combination of available design/background/logo options and colors for no extra charge. Optionally, a custom artwork can be ordered for extra cost.

Rocker-line-Flikka-boards

Our Freeride boards come with a dedicated freeride rocker.

Rocker line (bottom vertical line) has a major impact on how a board flows over water. More rocker, in general, means a better turning board on a bigger wave but its neutral position on the water may have a negative effect on early planning, direction stability, and top speed. Shapers are trying to get the best mix of rocker line and other variables that determine board behavior. One of the important advantages of custom boards is that rocker can be chosen by each individual order and not like production boards that are made out of moulds where big compromises must be made to satisfy the average of certain groups.

Our freeride boards come with a dedicated freeride tail.

DIAMOND TAIL

Great allround characteristics, but most of all… we love the way it looks 😉 (standard option Allwave)

ROUNDED TAIL

More control in highwind.

ROUNDED SQUARE TAIL

More drive in smaller waves.

SWALLOW TAIL

Better release in topturn.

As we searched the market for the best fin boxes and fins we came to the conclusion that we need to develop our own. With in house developed carbon made fin boxes, we achieved a much stronger and lighter solution that plays a crucial role in multi fin boards. We always suggest the number of fin boxes for every model but you can choose yourself the solution that works best for you. Depending on the model and size of the board we suggest a certain type of fin box (slot box, US box, power box, or tuttle box), but you can choose your preference.

FREERIDE
usually comes with power box, but can alternatively be fitted with deep tuttle box for foiling.
Flikka G10 fin with powerbox included – sizes 320-440 mm
Central: Central fin type (fr).

Each product is good only as its weakest part. For this reason, we take a lot of effort to take care of every possible detail.

EPS
foam comes from a factory that is only 3 km away from our workshop. Together we developed and tested a special EPS foam that has the best characteristics for a windsurfing/SUP/paddle board. Due to the short travel distance of this voluminous, we are proud that we make a smaller negative impact on the nature that makes windsurfing a special sport.

PVC FOAM
We use highest grade divinycell foams in different density and thickness.

FOOT-STRAPS AND SCREWS
We make use of our own developed inox inserts that come with all of our boards. Over the years this system has proven to be 100% reliable and you won’t ever experience a broken screw or insert.

We use 4 screws per strap on the front and back foot-straps. We usually recommend 2 insert positions for back and front. More inserts are possible but usually not needed. Regular stance on wave boards is 42,5/45/47,5 cm, but all other options are possible.

You can also choose only one position as it saves some weight. And most people prefer just one foot-strap position anyway.
The board comes equipped with soft, durable and adjustable Flikka foot-straps. One important advantage of our custom boards is the flexibility to choose your own foot strap width. Regular is 15cm, but you can order a smaller or larger width.

FOOTPADS
You can choose white or black footpads with the option to have built in heel bumpers. There is also the option to choose white with tail-kick (no heel bumpers).

AIR-VALVE
You can choose between a regular valve screw or a Gore-Tex valve. Both options work fine and it is up to your preference what your board will have. Gore-Tex valve breath air all the time, so the pressure is always optimal. It is recommended by the supplier to be replaced every two years.
