Retro noseriders: Surf small waves on this flying carpet that’s dedicated to toes on the nose, sweet turns and style.

Introduction

The Incredible is the ultimate noserider in small waves.

With her voluminous, floaty and fluid shape this board is made to collect retro style cutbacks and hang tens.

She takes off with incredible ease even in ripples.The large volume is a real asset in small waves, both to get moving and to maintain speed.

The rocker and the flow of this shape are very particular with a very fast nose and a very responsive tail for a 9’8. The curve of the rocker accelerates as you approach the tail, the outline is pinched in the rear third by the wingers, causing the volume to drop. The board will stall more freely when stepping back on the board, strongly accentuating your intentions in turns. Conversely, the nose concentrates more volume and very taut lines to accelerate when you go up front.

It’s all in her carves and lift that favorizes the noseride, starting with her line drawing square nose. The board is mellow and stable while walking. The more you advance, the faster she planes so as to get through the section without having to recoil.

From there, it’s your imagination, your surf culture, and your surf desires that will reveal your talents.

It’s the noserider “cult”, totally indespensible for lovers of cross stepping.

Ideal Waves

Size: ankle to head high.
Strength: at her best in mushy waves.
Type: handles all sorts of conditions but prefers glassy, as do we all.

Construction

These boards are built with EPS surf technology for the best strength / responsiveness / weight ratio by highlighting all the technical qualities of the shape. It’s the modern technology currently popular with the most technical surfers looking for the best performance.
