2019 pd Patrik Boards qt-wave GBM (Quin Fin Wave)

The slalom based rocker-line balances out the performance of early planning, acceleration, top speed, control and maneuverability. The very flat nose curve is specially designed to have a better water flow in this normally very curved area. The smoother water flow increases the backward sliding speed for double sliding rotations and the release for backward sliding pop.

Outline

The reduced nose width improves the rotation speed on the water and in the air. The „kink“ in the tail outline reduces the wetted surface area for increased acceleration, top speed and better pop.

Bottom Shape

The flat panel V still proved to be the best all-in-one bottom shape for early planing performance, great acceleration and top speed and it also ensures the board remains reactive from rail to rail and slides easily for multiple spins.

Deck Shape

The dome deck under the back footstrap gives essential grip under the feet. At the front footstrap and mast-track area we kept a flatter deck to increase the comfort when riding switch or not standing in the straps.

Rail Shape

The rails are designed for the best ratio between volume balance, general performance (planning, acceleration, top speed, control), carving and sliding ability.

Inserts

A variety of inserts in the front allow riders to alter the angle and width of the footstraps to suit their style and foot size.        

With our additional GET line we respond to the constant request for a softer construction and offer a more comfortable ride next to our sporty line. Our GBM line is the stiffer and lighter construction using materials with a higher Carbon percentage while our GET line offers more flex and comfort with the softer fiberglass material.

GBM – The full deck and bottom Carbon/Kevlar construction has the best impact strength to weight ratio and are lighter, plane earlier and ride more direct.

GET – The full deck Carbon/Kevlar with the full biax fiberglass bottom make the boards feel more connected to the wave and the smoother and more controlled turns allow the rider to ride more radical.
