Exocet Xwave V4 Carbon | Versatile and responsive wave board
The Exocet Xwave V4 Carbon is a wave board developed to tackle the real-world conditions of European wave riding, where onshore wind, choppy seas, shorebreak, and less-than-perfect waves demand acceleration, control, and quick response.
Designed for intermediate and advanced riders, the Xwave V4 Carbon offers a highly effective balance of early planing, upwind performance, fluid turns, and precise maneuverability. It’s a board engineered for quick beach break exit, maintaining speed during bottom turns, and adapting to different setups based on conditions.
Why choose Exocet Xwave V4 Carbon
The Xwave V4 Carbon was created to offer modern, practical, and functional wave riding, with a shape optimized for often difficult and variable conditions. Its character combines acceleration, control, and maneuverability, allowing the rider to better manage both the outbound leg and the more critical phases on the lip and during bottom turns.
- Wave shape designed for real European conditions.
- Excellent acceleration when exiting the beach break.
- Good mobility and upwind performance in onshore winds.
- Hull designed to maintain speed in wide, deep turns.
- Narrower tail behind the straps for greater drive on the back foot.
- Versatile single fin or thruster fin configuration.
- Lightweight and reactive Carbon Innegra construction.
- DDSA system for improved impact absorption.
Main features
Shape dedicated to European waves
The Xwave V4 was developed for often irregular conditions, with chop, gusty winds, and waves that require a board that is quick to position and ready to relaunch. Its shape aims to ensure effective riding even when conditions are not perfect.
Fast rocker and quick exit
The rocker line helps the board accelerate with ease and pass through the critical zone near the shore more quickly. This aspect is particularly useful when the wind is pushing onshore and it becomes important to regain water and position between sets.
Speed and continuity in bottom turns
The forward shift of the widest point helps reduce drag in deep and wide turns, promoting better speed retention during the bottom turn. The result is a more fluid board that is more effective at maintaining momentum during maneuvers.
Greater drive on the back foot
The tail narrows behind the rear strap and is combined with a slight tail kick, a combination that makes the board more incisive when increasing pressure on the back foot. This allows for more direct control and more precise response in both bottom and top turns.
Adaptable fin setup
The Xwave V4 Carbon allows you to choose between single fin and thruster configurations. A setup with a more prominent center fin can offer more tracking and drive on stronger, choppier days, while the thruster helps achieve tighter, more pivotal turns when the waves are cleaner.
Carbon Innegra construction
The Carbon Innegra construction is geared towards weight containment and offering a quick response underfoot, while maintaining a good level of control and solidity in wave use.
Double impact absorption system
The presence of DDSA, double density shock absorbers, helps improve absorption in the most stressed areas, providing a more controlled feel when sailing in choppy seas.
