Windsurf Board Patrik AirStyle 98 GET 2019

Freestyle is definitely the most creative discipline in windsurfing and with the new air-moves, we launch a new shape to push the limits further. The new compact shape drives controlled through the chop, pops easily off the water and rotates super fast through the air. The very short length is the key shape feature which makes the board feel like a skateboard and make medium-high moves look more stylish without touching the water. The short length makes the double pop easier as well and with the fast rotation, you can combine more figures to your moves.

SHAPE DETAILS
Scoop-Rocker-Line
The short length requested a complete new curve with a longer flat for more stability. The nose is kept low to avoid a too steep and draggy water line.

Outline
Very short and compact outline for fastest rotation possible.

Bottom-Shape
The double concave in the tail area let the board track safely through the chop and the additional side flats provide the necessary sliding abilities. The flat V in the front area still proves to be the best compromise between all the performance aspects.

Deck-Shape
The dome in the deck area around the back footstrap allows for essential grip under the feet. The thick tail gives more volume and height under the back foot and supports earlier planning and allows to push more against the tail to accelerate and pop. At the front footstrap and mast-track area, we kept a flatter deck to increase the comfort when riding switch or not standing in the straps.

Rail-Shape
The thick rail gives the necessary stability to the compact shape and prevents from sinking too deep after hard power move landings.

Inserts
A variety of inserts in the front allow riders to alter the angle and width of the footstraps to suit their style and foot size.

CONSTRUCTION
With our additional GET line, we respond to the constant request for a softer construction and offer a more comfortable ride next to our sporty line. Our GBM line is the stiffer and lighter construction using materials with a higher Carbon percentage while our GET line offers more flex and comfort with the softer fiberglass material.

GBM – The full deck and bottom Carbon/Kevlar construction has the best impact strength to weight ratio and are lighter, plane earlier and ride more direct.

GET – The full deck Carbon/Kevlar with the full biax fiberglass bottom make the ride through rough chop in windy conditions feel smoother and more controlled and hard flat landings are absorbed much more.
