Freewave 2012

 

Shaper Sebastian Wenzel’s perfected a range of smooth-sailing compact styles. The optimum blend of speed and carving, slashing and sliding make these our most versatile shapes. Tucked rails, rounded noses, and an ingenious CAD-created rocker line unlock the secrets of early-planing, control and top end. Starting in 75 litre (US box) and also available in 85, 95, 105 and 115 sizes, with Powerbox as standard, the smaller models excel in waves and high winds, while the larger styles focus more on low-end, freestyle and blasting performance, but are certainly no strangers to the surf.

For 2012 we’re offering three top-notch constructions. Select either the featherweight Team Edition (TE) with Carbon/Kevlar deck and Carbon bottom versions, with specialist metallic airbrush finish over Carbon graphics, the Light Finish Custom Wood Sandwich, or the market-leading Oxeon models in 85, 95 or 105 editions. Oxeon’s TeXtreme© Carbon Weave fabric provides the lightest and densest construction available for striking results in finish, weight, durability and stiffness.

Key Features:
- Modern short round-nosed shapes for balance, acceleration and easy riding
- Wide point forward of center to 70° pintail
- High entry rocker, short flat section and optimum tail kick for control and speed

Fanatic’s CAD Master Shaper Sebastian Wenzel:
“These are amazingly fast and loose shapes. We’ve won countless tests with my CAD-engineered scoop rocker line and full V combination. The versatility is won with nose kick for riding and carving, through a flat spot between the straps and into an optimised tail curve for the best mix of control in almost any use. With smooth noses, smart volume placement and high-apex tucked rails up front, they cut through the water like knives.”
