HIGHEST PERFORMANCE WITH HIGHEST CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS!

The success of a boards performance goes far beyond that of just having a highly qualified shaper.

To create a real performance machine, the shaper must not only accept input from their team riders, but he himself must also be at the top of his game on the World Tour.

Above pictures show 3 different constructions available from left to right GBM, GET, and new 2020 combined constructions (GBM 115L and above & GET 100L and below)

This winning combination is exactly what has allowed us to personally test, develop and finely tune each size in our range to ensure that it can withstand the multitude of conditions that prevail in these locations. The construction and the shape of the board is as important as the testing environments. Through the world wide PATRIK R&D process each size is carefully crafted to perform at the highest level in any possible slalom conditions.

Alongside great products, PATRIK also support their team riders with cutting edge equipment tuning secrets, riding styles, tactics and more - an invaluable combination you will never find anywhere else!

Construction

A slalom board needs to be lightweight for early planing, acceleration, top speed and reactiveness, but it also needs to be controllable at top speed in choppy waters and flex for smooth gybes. On the deck for all boards we use a full layer of Biax-Carbon, which reduces the twist but still maintains the flex required. A full Carbon board is very stiff and often in rough conditions the bottom of the board will impact hard on the water, which results in the user experiencing a very nervous-like feeling. Concaves on the bottom can make the board feel softer, but this alone is not enough in overpowered conditions. Concaves in combination with a softer bottom construction help to absorb upcoming chop and provide more control. Wood contains the right characteristics, but would be too heavy and lacks durability. To guarantee a long lasting product, and still have the soft bottom, we decided to use PVC in combination with Glass 90°-90° for 100 litre boards and below. To maintain our uniform graphic identity, the glass on the bottom is laminated with black resin. The finishing is white coated and sanded back by around 75%. For 115 litres and above they have full UD Carbon bottom for lightest and stiffest board for maximum early planning, acceleration and riding agility.

Technology - Composite Semi Custom Sandwich

Core Material - EPS (Styrofoam)

Sandwish Material - PVC Sheet

Final Lamination - Deck: Full Carbon Biax 45°-45° (Black Resin) / Bottom: 100 litres and below Full Glass 90°-90° (Black Resin) 115 litres and above UD carbon
