NEW SHORTER NOSE OUTLINE
Makes it easier to rotate turns, tighter in the critical section of the wave, and makes it lighter to throw around through high-performance maneuvers.
NEW LOWERED NOSE ROCKER
Helps get into waves easily and early.
NEW THIN RAIL PROFILE
Thinner rails on the 8’7” and 9’2” gives the Wedge its pro level performance with faster surfing speeds, better grip, and turning capabilities. The thinner rails are inspired by the much loved Longboard range for the ultra-responsive and reactive feel.
Produces greater drive.
Generates lift, drive and speed as it channels the water from nose to tail, through to double concave for sensitive rail to rail turning from the midpoint, through to vee tail for reactive pivot turning on the tail.
The Wedge has a new rounded pin tail to maximize the turning ability in these wider models. The new pin tail makes it easier to engage and sink the tail for faster bottom turns and top turns with more drive. Rounded tail also gives the board a better drive out of the turns.
Thruster fin set up provides comfortable straight line tracking on flat and gives drive and control in surf.
8’7″ features both thruster and quad. Quad fin set up uses 4 side fins and gives fast acceleration and instant down the line speed as it does not have a drag from the larger centre fin.
STARLITE CONSTRUCTION
- Ultra-durable, scratch and impact resistant woven 200g twill azure rail protection.
- The combination of twin T-stringers deck and bottom to protect against total breakage. The T-stringers are positioned close to the rail working like an i-beam to endure heavy drops and strong wipeouts.
- Starlite now features a full deck of 0.6mm Australian pine wood which is outside of 2 glass skins, increasing the overall total breakage strength and reducing the weight due to lower resin absorption.
AVAILABLE SIZES
8’7″ x 32″ / 143 L
Length: 8’7” / 262 cm
Width: 32” / 81 cm
Shorter, stable and sensitive. The thinner rails make the board respond and feel like a narrower board, sharing a similar characteristic to the much loved Airborn and Longboard ranges. The 8’7” really is the stable high-performance shortboard for those that want to rip yet have enough to make sessions longer.
9’2″ x 32″ / 160 L
Length: 9’2” / 279 cm
Width: 32” / 81 cm
A favorite in the testing and development, it turned heads with its control and responsiveness. The 9’2” is so much more responsive to turn as the thinner rails require less foot pressure to initiate turns. Ultra reactive and sensitive.
10’2″ x 32″ / 183 L
Length: 10’2” / 310 cm
Width: 32” / 81 cm
Fast, reactive, and controlled; the stable surfing all-rounder. A great option for those wanting the glide for cruising, solid stability from the width, and improved surfing performance with the new shape upgrades.
