PATRIK F-RACE 2024

OVERVIEW

Most brands simply re-use old slalom models and reduce the size of the cutouts and set the straps more inboard and introduce this as the latest freerace design. Our development was done together with purely dedicated free-racers and some pro-riders who were amazed by the performance in powered conditions against pure competition slalom boards. The slightly longer flat under the straps is the key feature for this shape and makes the board plane earlier and ride more stable and safer in rough conditions. With the smaller cutouts it's less loose and easier to control. Wanna go super fast without killing yourself on a competition slalom board? - The PATRIK F-Race is the perfect board for you!

WHAT'S NEW TO THE PREVIOUS MODEL:
- Modified computer-optimised cutout contours for reduced drag, better waterflow, more accelleration and more topspeed.
- Optimised strength-to-weight ratio and new graphics by Fabio Canella

 

SHAPE

DESIGN & FOOTPADS:

Colourful but simple and clean. This design is a timeless classic.
The 4mm thick diamond groove grip pad has an extra 6mm soft sponge under-layer which makes it a total of 10mm. It gives you a good connection to the board and enough shock absorbance to protect board and bones.

Scoop-Rocker:

The slightly extra longer flat between the straps makes the board more stable and does not react to foot pressure as quickly as slalom and is, therefore, more forgiving and keeps it speed more constant.

Volume distribution:

Even foot position for maximum performance and balanced body position. The thickness in the front strap to the nose is reduced for its lightweight while still keeping enough for flotation in non-planning conditions.
