| After 9 years of leading freeride development, we bid farewell to the legendary Carve series. The S-Type range - a 4 year old development that has dominated the PWA Supercross in its final year - also comes to an end, to be replaced with a brand new generation of all new, all slim, all freeride boards engineered from the ground up with iSonic genes. It's the freeride of the future - the new Futuras.
Combining the best of two freeride ranges in a package that offers it all - control, comfort, wind range, early planing and maximum top speed - was never going to be an easy task. With the experience gained from the development of the iSonics and the new concept of thinner shapes, the Futuras bring you just that.
Wind range: 15% slimmer shapes combined with wider widths and low-nose rockerlines boost the Futuras' wind range at both ends: they plane up earlier and effortlessly in lightwinds and offer more control and comfort in highwinds.
Pure speed: the Futuras were benchmarked to beat the S-Types in speed. With concepts brought over from the development of the iSonics, the Futuras are faster with a sweet spot that covers a wider wind range.
Comfort: wider and thinner inherently means a more stable shape, before planing and when moving into the footstraps. The bottom line: it's just easier and more comfortable to get going.
Ride, handling and control: with its lowered centre of gravity, the Futura rider experiences a razor-sharp riding sensation with impeccable control. It's like switching from a truck-driving experience to that of a sports car.
Maneuverability: the team tested side by side two identical Futura 122 prototypes with identical rail shapes, identical bottom shapes and with only the thickness and the width changing: the wider and thinner Futuras respond quicker, faster and with more ease.
Upwind: Increased width makes the Futuras plane upwind with ease, which means more time spent riding free than trying to get back upwind to where you started from.
Summary:
Thinner wider shapes with iSonic genetics
S-Type speed, Carve comfort, iSonic range: impossible engineering made possible
A quiver of two fins is highly recommended to bring out the best of the board
