Advantages in navigation
- Extremely low drag thanks to the ultra-thin profile, for very high top speeds.
- Great acceleration when exiting maneuvers and when relaunching, ideal for slalom and speed.
- Effective lift that makes the board rise above the water, reducing the wetted surface and increasing glide.

Pairing suggestions
- To be combined with high-performance slalom and speed boards, especially in medium/low liters.
- For slalom use, we recommend choosing a fin size approximately 1 cm larger than that indicated by classic fin selectors, to have greater sustained power when necessary.
