PATRIK CHASE DW-X

‌ REDUCED PLANING SURFACE
Reduced hull surface with sharp mini bevels enhance the acceleration. This innovative design offers a great hull stability while balancing plus an effortless planing during take off. Direction changes during take offs on a wave feel intuitive on this shape.

‌ SMART WIDTH
Wide enough to be comfortable in rough seas or if you are a DW beginner. For the more advanced rider, the specific hull design and shape features of this board will still provide ultra low drag to take off on small and fast foils. Being stable on the board allows you to paddle extremely hard and powerful even when small roll mistakes happen accidentially.

‌ CUTOUT KICK TAIL
Kick tail to optimise the tail water release while pumping hard on the take off as a catching tail would slow you down and push the board nose downwards. The 90 degree mini tail cutout makes the water rip off the hull surface and reduces the drag of the board futher.

‌ RAKED DECK RECESS
Deck recess with a unique progressive rake provides an optimised angle for take off which varies once you reposition your feet from take off stance to riding and carving.

‌ DECK FOOT LOCK
Thanks to the deck recess shape your front foot will be locked just behind the front bump making it impossible to slip foward. As a consequence, you can transfer your energy to the board and foil with more efficiency.

‌ VEE-DECK TAIL SHAPE
The board can breach the water surface better when you push the tail into the water during extreme paddling and pumping. As the water flows off easily you don’t lose energy by your tail getting “stuck” in the water.

‌ BOTTOM MINI CHANNELS
One of the issues you face as a beginner is positioning your board in the correct angle while paddling max power during take off. The mini channels improve the board tracking in the early take off phase significantly without locking the board in too much before you start the flight.

‌ FOIL TRACKS RECESS
Significant reduction of drag during take off when your mast is being positioned to the front of the foil tracks as it make the water “jump” and flow over the base plate of your mast. Much softer touch downs with reduced drag. The board will slow down less helping you to keep your balance when your board hits the water surface in sharp turns, on bigger waves or simply when things get a bit hectic at high speeds.

‌ PROGRESSIVE ROCKER LINES
Tense rocker line with the perfect balance of accelleration and carving. More rocker on the small sizes for more advanced riders and extreme conditions. A more relaxed rocker on the big sizes for even earlier flight.
