PERFORMANCE FAST FREERIDE
The Ponale combines freeride and freerace in one!
If you are looking for a board that offers high-end Freerace performance while remaining calm and stable on the water and also performs gybes and maneuvers with ease, then the Ponale is your choice!
No matter whether it's choppy waves or flat water, the Ponale always delivers the best performance.
Ideal for sailing with a freerace/freeride sail NoCam.
The included Tuttlebox fin delivers top performance at all times.
Descriptions:
Bottom shape:
Where the nose starts with no vee to sit the board square in the water maximizing the planing surface at low speeds, which quickly transforms into a significant vee planform with a very deep double concave under the mast track area. This helps hydrodynamic-ally channel the water towards the tail of the board before planing and Aerodynamically channels the air from the board after planing. Towards the tail the strong vee quickly changes into an inverted vee shape between the feet, this keeps the outside rail line in the “water power zone” straighter than a normal vee board, which we found drastically increases the control and side-to-side stability at speed.
“Tuck” rail design concept:
The more tuck we tested, the better the boards performed, in particular with incredibly easy gybing and overall comfort especially in choppy conditions. The Performa range incorporates almost as much bottom rail tuck as the 5-axis machine can comfortably shape. Whilst the top rail shape is a gentle sloping dome that is very comfortable to step anywhere on the upper deck, whether during planing or non-planing conditions.
“Foil Proof” fin box (on all models):
Our exclusive layup foil Tuttle box is as strong as it gets whilst still being lightweight. You can feel confident to mount any wind-foil in any wind conditions.
Construction:
A PVC double sandwich, with double thickness in the most stressed areas combined with Carbon reinforcements giving the board the best result in terms of flex, light weight, strength and durability. Glass bottom with Carbon reinforcements in the importand Areas.
