ALLROUND WAVE

The new WAVE CULT V8 is the board that everyone should have, which suits all kinds of conditions and allows you to feel covered in any sessions at both your home spot and on your travels. We focused more and more on this goal to provide a tool that can perform the best in both on-shore and side-shore conditions in every wave size.

The V8 model is available in two different technologies, the LTD and LTE, to cover everyone’s needs. The LTD comes with our latest and most innovative Biaxial Carbon Innegra fibers on the deck and glass bottom, while the LTE is a single shot with wood deck and bottom.

The WAVE CULT V8, like his predecessor, has superb planing capabilities and is easy in all transitions and, at the same time, is very powerful in turns. All the boards are short, with more volume in the central part and are combined with a pronounced kick. The outline comes out with a completely re-designed round pintail with winger and soft diamond nose.

The Wave Cult is the board that does everything and excels whatever the conditons are.

FEATURES: 

• Six shapes that make the Wave Cult V8 line up; the 68, 74, 82, 92, 104 and 114 lts
• Short outline and with more volume concentrated in the central part
• Tail with wingers and soft diamond nose
• Available in both LTD and LTE technology
• LTD with Biaxial Carbon Innegra fibers on the deck and glass bottom
• The LTE is a single shot, Wood deck and bottom
• 5 slotboxes for both thruster and quad set ups, with the exception of the 104 lts and 114 lts which are only for a thruster fin use

FREESTYLE WAVE

We have added 2 new boards to the range, the 78 lts and the 114 lts. Those completely new shapes further expands the all freestylewave line which now fits with every conditions and type of rider. No matter what water surface, waves or just flatwater the new Freestyle Wave V5 does it all.

The Rocker is straight and fast in the mid/rear section. The volume displacement has less volume on the tail and more volume on the nose, to keep the same amazingly well balanced board in both planing and non-planing conditions. The simple slight double concave/ V rail to rail configuration allows a perfect flow and balance over the roughest waters in any conditions.

It is available in 3 different technologies, the LTE, LTD and the new BLKRBN (Black Ribbon). The Black Ribbon is a new technology that allows to have the lightest possible boards under your feet and a superb distinctive finishing level.

The new Freestyle Wave V5 has been completely renovated and is laminated using Biaxial Carbon Innegra fibers on the deck on both LTD and BLKRBN.

All the freestylewave boards are equipped with exclusive K4 for RRD fins in orange colour.

WIDE BODY FREEMOVE

Innovating a benchmark is never an easy task, but we did it! The 3rd version of the most wanted boards in our range are now out and planing.

The Firemove V3 family has gone one step up in every category of use:

• Early planing: the wider nose shape with a “COTAN” design ( cut off tail and nose) has allowed a more concentrated volume distribution on the nose without the need to thicken up or lengthen the board.
• Jiibing: the new outline “kink” in correspondance of the one foot tail area, allows the lines of the board to become more parallel and create better jibing potential, especially at hi speed.
• Top Speed: this tail area reduction created by the new tail outline has also created a better top end speed potential, especially when riding on choppy water.

All in all we have kept the same “easy & accessible “ feel of this magic board program, boosting the performance level on every new shape we have re-designed from scratch. The footstraps inserts have kept the possibility to use a more inboard position for choppy water or more “freeride use”.

These inserts also allow the rider to position themselves in a more outboard position for flat water or “top speed” sailing.

Technology

LTD: semi custom / Innegra carbon deck glass bottom

WOOD: single shot / wood clear deck & matt bottom

E-Tech: HD Glass Epoxy skin on top and bottom with Glass crossed fibers laminated in AST moulding process

FREERIDE / WINDFOIL

We introduce 4 new modern freeride shapes to maximize fun and versatility of use. The FIRERIDE has the most accessible range of use to adapt at its best to everyone. Compared to the Firemove V3, it is compeletely different in dimensions, far longer and narrower. It reminds of a more classical concept of freeride board, but with a modern look. Comfortable, planing and with superb versatility skills to suit all levels and type of uses.

Thanks to its length, it perfectly adapts to foilwindsurfing, especially when learning and even for a more advanced level. The Fireride is a new evolution in terms of versatility in all wind conditions and able to carry big size sails as well as very small sizes also for rental fleets.

Features

• Full V double concave hull with flat tail end so to maximize stability, early planing and easy jibing. Moreover the fuller size rails from nose to tail maximize lateral stability, reduce drag and increase floatation.
• Available in 3 different technologies LTD, WOOD and E-Tech for different needs and cost requirements.
• Adaptable to wind foil thanks to the FOIL BOX which is available only in Wood and LTD version.

Technology

• The LTD model is a semi custom/carbon deck and glass bottom
• The WOOD model has a semi custom/wood deck and bottom
• E-TECH is made with I-shot/E Tech Epoxy technology

FREE RACE / WINDFOIL

Originally designed and trimmed to combine early planning, speed, control and easy jibing, the new Firestorm V4 line has been completely re-considered not only in terms of shape and details, but mainly for its program of use.

During the last 48 months since the first introduction of the Firestorm V1 Line, we have consistently kept on shaping new prototypes trying to improve the magic mix of the existing boards. But we could only improve one or two parameters, better upwind or better jibing while keeping the same top speed, but then either early planing or manouverability was being sacrificed.

48 months of development, over 25 prototype boards and over 300 hours of testing time in the water have not managed to improve the magic mix of the V1 and V2 Firestorm shapes.

Then we have started to re-consider the program of use and we have understood that when you choose a new board around the program of “fast freeriding” the most important parameter is SPEED. So the whole concept of creating a 30% faster board whilst keeping early planing and control have given life to a completely new line of Firestorm boards: the VERSION 4.

Features

• Based on the outline and scooprocker line of the PWA world champion’s X- Fire V7 boards, the FIRESTORM V3 have taken this shape base and been modified as follows by comparing with the X-Fire boards.
• The Outline is slightly narrower in the tail area and has smaller tail cutouts so as to reduce the tail lift when overpowered while keeping the same planing capacity, more suited for freeriding than for pure racing.
• The Toro tail is being reduced in terms of extra width over the hull’s wetted surface and has been moved slightly further back, to allow more pressure with your back foot onto the fin without too much effort. This resuLTS in better upwind performance and better average speed in long runs.
• The Rocker line, hull shape and volume distribution instead have been kept absolutely the same as X-Fire V7 boards. Same soul as the world champions.
• The footstraps inserts have kept the possibility to use a more inboard position for choppy water or more “freeride use” and a more outboard position for flat water or “top speed” setting
• Adaptable to wind foil thanks to the FOIL BOX which is a specially reinforced deep Tuttle box design for use with a HydroFoil or a standard fin.
• The result of all these features has allowed us to create 3 brand new boards that will help improve your speed on the water and give you immense joy to stay ahead of the others.
• Remember, before buying any new boards, go test them in one of our test centers around the world. Speed cannot be cheated, so try and verify what we say with your GPS on your arm or by comparing with a friend on another board.

SLALOM RACE

The royal chain continues!

The X-Fire boards are the most awarded racing machines on the PWA world tour. Under the feet of the 24 times world champion Antoine Albeau and other riders, the X-Fire’s have won countless races, events and world titles. 

The new X-Fire V11 boards are RRD’s latest and greatest creation up to date. 

As usual our relentless R&D team led by Arnon Dagan and Andrea Rosati have put these boards to test in countless different locations and conditions around the world including Hawaii, Italy and Israel. 

The advantage of having an in-house custom factory at our home in Italy has proven yet again to be a key feature in the success of this boards. 

This year 4 all new models came to life: the 129 lts, 122 lts, 118 lts and 114 lts.

FEATURES

• The 129 lts and 122 lts: all new outline, volume distribution and rail shape brought this boards to new levels of speed, power, control and jibing abilities. Best sail sizes 129 lts – 10.0 to 7.8; 122 lts – 9.5 to 7.8
• The 118 lts: we have added this new size which ended up as a successful and highly recommended boards! It is based on the X-Fire V10 114 shape but a bit bigger and wider. It takes a huge range of sail sizes and wind conditions yet remains extremely fast and easy in all of them. Best Sail sizes- 9.5-7.8
• The 114 lts: we wanted to maintain the advantage of using a bigger sail then our competitors in the light winds and, at the same time, improve it in high wind and comfort abilities. The result is a success! The all new refined cut outs anable the board to plane even earlier yet hold on to the board in super high winds and rough water. Best sail size: 8.6-7.0
• Light as possible: with full Carbon on both deck and bottom
• All the boards from the 108 lts up are foil ready thanks to a specific reinforced deep tuttle fin box, while the small sizes have a standard tuttle box
• This year we have improved by 20% the stiffness and durability and slightly lowered the weight of the boards by using a 90 grams  Dynanotex / Spread tow Carbon fabric on the deck of the 129/122/118/114/108 models.
