GEAR: RADICAL AND TOLERANT!

In freestyle you need a board that is radical enough to attempt all the tricks but tolerant enough to hope to nail them 😉 That was the leitmotif of our shaper during the development of the Kube! Increase the rotation capacity with an ultra compact shape and optimize the conversion rate of your tricks with super soft and load bearing rails, tail and nose.

To increase the rotation capacity tenfold, the shape of the Kube has been developed around a length limited to 4’2 for the “largest” model, and only 3’7 for the model intended for small riders. The maneuverability obtained is remarkable and is felt from the first meters of flight. The Kube offers a direct response to each initiation of a maneuver. It’s absolutely crazy. Yet the Kube remains accessible, in particular thanks to a shape and volume that offer a lot of lift.

This is its second strong point: the lift offered by a shape that optimizes water flow for instant take-offs. In freestyle we spend our time sending tricks and relaunching. L’Ours has designed a double hull for this: if you take a good look at the Kube, you will see a narrow and very fast Lethal hull, topped by a wider platform for landings and launching. The combo is ultimate. In addition, its thick tail allows you to project yourself from the get go and take off immediately.

   

In order to optimize the success rate in tricks, a lot of work has been done on the hull and on the facets:

  • The hull shape with a double concave nose dampens the touchdowns by dissipating energy and guiding the board in the axis.
  • The facets on the rails help prevent braking at the slightest touchdown, whether in flight or in a maneuver with a lot of angle.
  A good freestyle board is also a board whose construction ensures dynamism and flawless resistance to the constraints of the most radical tricks. The Kube is equipped with an innovative technology called FSP Pro. This full carbon PVC sandwich offers the best dynamism while preserving strength, at an incredible weight. The 3K carbon fiber that fully covers the board boosts its performance. It is clearly much more lively without being fragile.
