GO VERTICAL ON ANY MEDIUM SIZE AND HOLLOW WAVE!

OVERVIEW

Newschool Tri-Fin Concept with three same size S-Wave fins for a true surfing-like feeling on the wave. Better planing compared to the QTS due to a lower entry rocker and more surface in the nose. Perfect in small to medium waves and hollow beach breaks that want to be ridden vertically. More skatey than the QTS but plenty of grip for carved top turns. More nervous in longer arcs than the QTS but better upwind performance and more agility on unpredictable waves makes this board a good onshore and allround board. Loose and super fast with the ability to move very freely on the wave and to change your turn’s radius easily. Excellent board speed and amazing lift for big jumps. Well balanced and smooth in the chop.

Shape 

Vee into Single Concave into pronounced Double Concave into Tailkick Vee. Forward widepoint with a relatively narrow squash tail.

Pads and Inserts

Double inserts on the backfoot for more strength with the 4-screws mount, a no-twist backstrap and the options to ride the backstrap asymetrical with the traditional 2-screws mount. 6mm thick diamond groove foot pad with an extra 6mm soft sponge underlayer which makes it a total of 12mm. It's very comfortable and it spreads out the load of your foot onto the deck construction well.

PRO TIPS

Simon Thule ‌ SIMON THULE (Professional Surfer): "The TS-Wave is my secret weapon for hollow waves and beach breaks. The board is planing crazy early and the tailkick rocker allows me to adjust my turns on any critical beach break type of waves that are more difficult to read and ride. It is more nervous and alive than the QTS and works amazing with the Tri-Fin setup. For more tracking and even earlier planing you have the option to switch to Thruster or Single Fin. While the QTS creates more drive and hold in big long arcs and turns, the TS shines on fast waves that want to be ridden in the pocket and any difficult wave conditions where current, shore break and gusty winds are demanding an early-planing board with excellent handling and good upwind performance.
