RRD Hardcore Wave & Wavecult 2007

TWO new types of wave board are now released by RRD to complete the wave package after the 2007 Freestyle/Wave was launched earlier in July.

HARDCORE WAVE

For the wave purists, the Hardcore Wave is the most radical. The three boards in the range are a little shorter, with just a bit more width at the wide point. The thinnest tail of any production waveboard remains, but there is now a fraction more volume.

Combined with a deeper double concave applied to a slightly flatter rocker, the 2007 Hardcores plane earlier, but actually have better grip at high speed and in critical manoeuvres.

WAVE CULT

The 2007 Wavecult is also a little shorter than last year. The new boards plane earlier thanks to more double concave and a flatter rocker line, whilst a slight increase in nose kick makes for a smoother ride over chop. Three sizes cover everyone's needs.

	Length	Width	Volume	Weight	Fin*	Sail Range
Wave Cult 77 (orange)	230cm	56.5cm	77ltr	5.8kg	Maui Fin 22cm	3.6-5.0
Wave Cult 84 (yellow)	233cm	58cm	84ltr	6.1kg	Maui Fin 23cm	4.0-5.4
Wave Cult 93 (blue)	236cm	62cm	93ltr	6.4kg	Maui Fin 24cm	4.6-5.9
