Simmer Style G7 3XS

The Simmer Style G7 3XS is a slalom board developed to offer the perfect balance between control, explosive acceleration, and top speed. It is designed for riders seeking race-level performance, early planing, and maximum efficiency throughout the edge, even when conditions become more physical and demanding.

Product Overview

The G7 3XS is built to dominate the slalom course thanks to an optimized outline that ensures control across a wide range of conditions. Each size has been developed with specific rocker lines and volume distribution, with the goal of achieving clean release, maximum speed, and a balanced feel underfoot.

The step-tail configuration and dual step cut-away reduce the wetted surface area without compromising lift and stability, improving acceleration out of turns, fin traction, and control even when fully loaded. The more parallel central section also helps maintain a wider bow, promoting early planing and a stable stance in faster sections.

Key Features

Slalom Speed and Absolute Control

The 3XS has been developed to achieve very high speeds while maintaining control and composure even at the limit. The shape works to offer immediate acceleration, excellent balance, and precise handling throughout all phases of sailing.

Dual Step Cut-out

The dual step cut-out in the tail reduces the surface area in contact with the water to increase speed, control, and fin traction. This allows the board to generate less drag, increase effective lift, and better convert rider power into actual acceleration.

Smooth Gybes and Quick Exit

The step-tail configuration is designed to make gybes smoother, more fluid, and more efficient. Out of turns, the board accelerates quickly, maintaining stability and continuous trim.

Early Planing

The more parallel central section maintains a wider bow, a fundamental element for promoting early planing. This helps the board lift off the water early and build speed from the first gusts.

Optimized Rocker and Volume for Each Size

Each volume has been developed individually to offer the best compromise between speed, control, and release. Testing has resulted in a consistent range, but with a specific feel for each size, based on its intended use range.

Technical Details

Recessed Deck

The mast track area features a recessed deck that lowers the rig connection point and increases overall control. This solution improves sensitivity, stability, and power management at high speeds.

Contours 80 / 96 - High Wind

Sizes 80 and 96 feature a hull with a vee from tail to nose and a subtle double concave. In the 96, the combination of rocker line and concave deck creates a longer rail line in the water, directly benefiting speed and control.

Contours 106 / 116 - Medium Wind

Sizes 106 and 116 utilize a progressive vee-hull with the maximum vee point in the central area. Compared to the 96, they have a less flat section in the rocker, so the rails and tail start to work earlier; dual-level cut-outs complete the package to reduce the wetted surface while maintaining a wider outline and early planing.

Contours 126 / 136 - Light Wind

The larger sizes are shorter and wider than the smaller versions, with a flat scoop line from the tail to the front foot and a progressive curve towards the bow. The vee starts from the cut-outs and grows towards the center with a deep vee, while a small winger in front of the back foot helps exit gybes at full speed; the deep dual cut-out improves water release.

New Foot Pads

The 4mm + 4mm EVA foot pads increase comfort and control, with a diamond grip texture for very effective traction. The reduced weight contributes to a more direct board response.

High-Spec Construction

The high-spec Biax Carbon construction is designed to offer an excellent weight-to-stiffness-to-durability ratio. The bottom uses 30-degree bias carbon and PVC sandwich to increase stiffness, while the deck utilizes 45-degree bias carbon with a double PVC sandwich to improve strength and load distribution; the board also integrates a central PVC stringer, carbon reinforcements on the rails, a lightweight finish, and a self-regulating Gore-Tex valve.

Technical Specifications

Who it's for

The Simmer Style G7 3XS is designed for slalom and speed-oriented riders seeking a fast, efficient, and stable board across the entire edge. It is ideal for those who want to plane early, maintain constant acceleration, and push hard even in medium to strong wind conditions.
