Description

Earlier Planing, Easier Speed

A lower rocker in the front is tuned for quick release and earlier planing, so you build speed fast when the wind isnt fully on.

More Maneuverable Tail Feel

A more pronounced kick tail improves turning response and helps the board stay lively in transitions and tighter sections.

Smoother in Chop

The refined bottom shape blends a deep V nose into a double concave tail for a smoother ride over chop and better control at speed.

Speed + Surf Control

A narrower tail outline boosts top speed, sharpens surf performance, and increases confidence when you push harder through aggressive maneuvers.

Note: A 76L size appears in the official tech specs with several values listed as TBA (see table below).

3S+ Technical Features

New Lower Rocker & Kick Tail

Lower nose rocker for earlier planing and effortless speed, paired with a more pronounced tail kick for improved turning and maneuverability.

Refined Bottom Shape

Deep V in the nose flowing into a double concave tail for smoother chop handling, strong grip in curves, and precise all-conditions control.

Narrower Tail Outline

Reduced tail width for better surf feel, higher top speed, and improved control when driving hard through turns or committing to maneuvers.

Optimized Volume Distribution

More volume in the tail improves low-end stability and planing support, adding balance and versatility across changing wind and water states.

Enhanced Rail Design

Sharpened rails increase grip in turns and help you maintain drive and control when carving with speed.

Premium Fin Setup

The versatile 3S+ shape paired with an MFC TF thruster setup helps unlock the boards full freewave performance potential.
