SLALOM

Why would you even buy a custom slalom board? Maybe because we can make a board that is not made for PWA riders and therefore doesn’t need to be ridiculously powered up to work properly. Of course, our shape is fast, it’s a slalom board, but we also made a board that is easier to handle and jibe than most production boards.

We have different cut-out system than any other producer. We call it concave cutouts, because of the concave shape of the release edge which lowers drag and increases lift. We can use it because our boards are not made in moulds, where the concave edge would prevent the board to be released from the mould.

And since our boards are stronger, they will also last longer. We used all our little gadgets known from wave boards: stainless steel foot-strap inserts, full carbon monocoque mast box, and fin boxes (tuttle, deep tuttle or foil box). All to increase durability and lower the weight.

You can choose and dimension combination you want, we can make it, all up to 91cm wide.

At some point, a recreational racer has enough of soft decks, broken noses and crashed rails. That’s where our boards can make a difference. Not just that our new shapes are fast and comfortable, but they are also built better- full biaxial carbon on the deck and bottom, and also under PVC foam with 2, 3 or even 4 layers on some areas.

Our custom slalom 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.

Slalom boards are made in carbon construction. It can be made in light/regular/hardcore version.

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

Slalom boards come with dedicated slalom rocker R#sl.

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.

Slalom boards come with dedicated slalom tail.

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.

SLALOM

You can choose between normal or deep tuttle box. We suggest deep tuttle only for boards bigger than 105L.

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 40/42,5/45 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.
