PATRIK Foil Ride Boards

PD F-Ride


Please choose an option:




 

This shape is not followed by the trend and it is developed with true dedicated Freeriders. Wide body shapes are more stable for uphauling the sail but we agreed that this is needed more for entry level beginner boards and the Freerider is the more advanced rider with different needs.

Our shape has a straighter outline and is a bit longer and the advantages are simply a more comfortable and balanced sailing position with planning and upwind performance

 

 

THE ONLY NARROW BODY SHAPE ON THE MARKET?

 

SHAPE DETAILS

Optical aspect & Footpad:

With the new graphic aspect influenced by Italian designer Fabio Canella we are taking a new direction and be more coloured while still keep it simple.

The 6mm thick over-dotted diamond groove grip pad has an extra 6mm soft sponge under-layer which makes it total 12mm and very nice and comfortable.

Shape Info “short”:

The extra length on the flat area under the straps is more stable across the axle and forgives wrong foot pressure so that the board keeps on riding like in cruise control modus. Besides that, passive planning (no pumping) is significantly better. The narrower width makes it easier to step into the straps and have both legs balanced in a comfortable position which makes any sailing direction especially going upwind much easier.

Shape Info “Detailed”:

Scoop-Rocker:

Extra longer flat between the straps for better passive planning and more longitudinal stability when sailing along.

Volume distribution:

An almost even foot position height under the straps makes the ride and the upwind sailing almost feel effortless and the flat deck provides the save standing platform.

Outline:

The narrower width and the more parallel lines are closer to the center line and makes it much easier to find the straps and step into the sailing position and keep on driving the board to the speed you feel comfortable with. As well the jibing is easier and the narrow width tilt effortless to the leeward side into the curve and the wider tail keeps the board length in the water and drive through the jibes much easier.

Bottom Shape:

Double concaved V with stabilizing side flats from nose to the front strap to absorb the chop and give it a comfortable ride and then blend into a flat panel V all the way to the tail for all-round cruising stability and easy rail to rail transitions in manoeuvres.

Rails / Tuck:

The boxy rails make the maximum width float stable in non-planning conditions. As well trough the jibe the rail floats nicely and just keeps on going through the whole turn. The sharp tail edges show a clean water release for best planning and acceleration performance.

Deck Shape:

Both strap positions are designed to have enough dome and curve to have a comfortable stance when using any of the inside or outside positions.

Fin boxes:

Deep Tuttle Foilbox

Inserts:

Inside and outside strap position on both straps with an extra center possibility in the tail area. Each insert has 4-positions for individual settings.

 

CONSTRUCTION

For this board, the blind testing with plain white boards proved that our Biax glass fibre is the choice over the Carbon construction. The reason is simple, the Carbon is hard and physical and distributes the vibration much more and the Biax glass fibre has the extra flex and absorbs the vibration for a more comfortable and controlled ride whereas most riders proved to be faster on head to head speed tests.

PD FREERIDE - PATRIK Freeride Boards

Our Freeride designs are built for the long term. They're tested over a two year development cycle with direct input from a select group of Freeriders in combination with Patrik's wealth of experience.

 

The shapes are specifically designed to be more comfortable and user friendly in all aspects of freeriding, including early planing, controlled blasting and easy gybing.

The lightweight construction adds to the early planing and easy gybing characteristics, whilst also improving acceleration and top speed - something you probably won't feel whilst out on the water alone due to the easy going shape, but line up next to your friends and you'll soon notice the difference!

 

Offering only one construction may astonish many people, but we only want the best for our customers without compromise.

 

The full carbon/kevlar deck and bottom is not only light, but it's incredibly tough and long lasting at the same time.

CONSTRUCTION

With our additional GET line we respond to the constant request for a softer construction and offer a more comfortable ride next to our sporty line. Our GBM line is the stiffer and lighter construction using materials with a higher Carbon percentage while our GET line offers more flex and comfort with the softer fiberglass material.

GBM: The full deck and bottom Carbon/Kevlar construction has the best impact strength to weight ratio and are lighter, plane earlier and ride more direct.

GET: The full biax fiberglass construction on deck and bottom makes the board feel very smooth, more comfortable and more controllable.

Shape Details

Scoop Rocker Line - A well balanced curve which has proven to be extremely comfortable in its application. Due to the lightweight construction, the flat section in the tail has been drawn out, which makes the board more stable and controllable whilst also offering earlier planing and increased drive through the gybe.   

Outline - Slightly longer in length for earlier planing and a narrower width for increased control and more responsive rail-to-rail maneuverability in the gybe. The narrower width also makes the board feel more comfortable with increased control resulting from a more board centered body position.   
Bottom Shape - V with double con-caves and side flats in both the nose and directly beneath the mastrack to provide a softer and more controllable ride. Flat V in the tail area for easy rail-to-rail maneuverability and smooth water release for early planing, acceleration and a good top speed. 
Deck Shape - Moderately domed deck throughout for superior comfort underfoot in every situation. 

Rail Shape - Thin up front to reduce weight. Boxy rails in the mid section for balance, stability and additional float during the gybes. Slightly boxy in the tail for increased support and a more comfortable foot position in the straps.
