Suitability
This shortboard is suitable for surfers with a very good level (advanced/regular). Designed for gliding and manoeuvring in soft waves, from knee to head height. With its particularly voluminous shape, it’s easier to paddle up to the peak and make the most of the waves.

Shape
The WIDE is designed to combine speed, manoeuvrability and ease of rowing, while maintaining good glide in less powerful wave sections. With a wide nose and tail, centred beam and low rocker, it provides comfortable rowing and easy gliding in a variety of conditions. The swallow tail offers both optimum speed and precise grip in turns. Single concave under the front foot, which evolves into a double concave with a slight V at the tail.
What are the advantages of an EPS/EPOXY board?
We chose this type of construction for our surfboards, because it offers numerous advantages.
-The epoxy resin is more resistant to impacts/dents than polyester resin, which makes the board more durable. The board will also be more responsive and capable of generating more speed.
- EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam floats better, so for the same volume you have more buoyancy than a polyester/polyurethane board.
Fin assembly
Only use ailerons with a FUTURES base. Fins not supplied but available (model code 8903808
in size M and 8892578 in size L) on the website or in certain shops.
Packaging and protection
When you buy online, the surfboard is packaged in a Flexi Hex® honeycomb case in a strong cardboard box. There’s no more plastic packaging. Clever! The case can be reused in your surf bag to protect it when you’re on the move.
