Made for the Real World - not just Hookipa.

With the Real World Wave boards, wave riding got a new push. Riding small to medium sized waves became a new experience and a lot more fun. Riders reached new levels and performed moves they only dreamed of before. Getting through the break and catching waves became natural and effortless.

Many magazine tests confirmed that those boards work for front and back foot sailing style. For 2007 the development focused on a more responsive, loose and smaller feel with maximum grip.

Development Focus:

• More responsive, with a smaller board feel and maximum grip
• Huge wind and sail range
• Early planing and maximum speed
• Works for small or medium size waves
• Front or back foot riding style

2007 Shape News:

• Slightly narrower, the Real Word Wave boards now respond quicker and feel very loose and smaller than last years boards.
• The redefined rocker line shortens the water and rail line, allowing the rider to adjust the radius of his bottom turn at any time, prepare for the perfect section, and finish it off with an explosive aerial. It also helps holding speed, no matter how tight or drawn-out you choose to bottom turn.
• A narrower tail and an additional curve in the outline between the straps, combined with a constant thin rail fading to a super thin tail, gives the boards an unbelievable amount of grip and control even in high-speed bottom turns. The pivotal maneuverability has been improved greatly and they are great for a slashy riding style.
• A slightly less-domed deck at the back foot makes the Real World Waves respond instantly to foot pressure, allowing the rider to shred every wave to the max.
• These adjustments makes the board ride very smooth and comfortably. You hardly feel the chop as the board simply seems to swallow it.
