BLAST: Maximum performance with minimum effort.

Where you come from: you are comfortable of sailing in the foot straps then the BLAST is your performance machine.

Where it will take you: the BLAST will instantly make you a faster sailor. Since it’s also very easy to jibe it will be your partner from your first power jibes up to pro level laydown race jibes. Partnered with a high performance fin and a freerace sail you might even become the fastest guy at your spot with the BLAST, whilst still maintaining the comfort of a freeride board. 

Key Features 

2 Technologies - Available in Premium sandwich technology (SLS) or Epoxy sandwich technology

Maximum performance with minimum effort - The BLAST will instantly make you a faster sailor

Multi footstrap plugs - Inboard position for improved manoeuvrability. Outboard position for a more performance oriented riding style

What's the Blast?

When designing the BLAST, the key concept was to make a board with maximum performance, yet minimal effort that maintains control over the widest possible wind range.

The BLAST follows the same VOLUME YET CONTROL CONCEPT like the EAGLE. This means you can easily choose a 10 liter bigger board compared to other brands without losing any control in overpowered conditions.

Additionally, due to the thin rails, the BLAST can be gybed aggressively in experienced hands but also feels easy and smooth for intermediate riders due to the wide tail. This allows you a steady progression through all levels of the jibing process, without ever “out-growing” the board.

The racier/boxier rails and a further outboard strap position allow the rider to push harder to let the board fly over the fin for increased top speed. The tail cutouts further reduce the drag when going full speed to give you the edge over your friends.

Board Characteristics

Outline – Parallel rails offer exceptional acceleration and low drag. Outline changes between sizes, small boards higher aspect ratio, two bigger sizes lower aspect ratio.

Rail Shape – Boxy for acceleration and planing power. Thin at the back for jibing.

Rocker – Flatter than the Jag (freerace) for low end power.

Bottom Shape – Various changes in bottom shape to maximise performance, manoeuvrability and control.

Deck Shape – Flatter deck for comfort in stance and control.
