Racing / slalom / long distance / freerace: this is THE board.
Developed for the GONG Team, made up of multiple World and European champions, the Racer excels in slalom, racing, and long-distance.
It’s the perfect board to meet all their racing needs, whether on flat water, choppy waters, or in light to strong wind conditions.
To reach very high speeds in competition, you need a small, thin, and fast foil that works especially well at high speeds. However, you also need the ability to take off early, particularly after a fall or in light wind conditions. The narrow shape of the Racer offers a lot of glide for the best performance over a huge range of conditions.
The very streamlined nose with its bulb, rounded rails, and narrowness allows you to ride at full speed and attack maneuvers with no hesitation. Reduced wind resistance, smooth touchdowns—this board pushes performance to the max, stress-free.
If you want to compete with friends, participate in regional, national, or global competitions, the Racer is the ideal board.
The very narrow outline of the Racer is specially designed to allow maximum glide and early take-off even in the lightest winds.
Its rocket-like profile also offers minimal wind resistance to achieve maximum speeds effortlessly.
Its narrow width also allows you to take very sharp angles without contacting the water. This is a significant comfort gain to maintain high speeds even in choppy waters.
The overall tight rocker maximizes glide for an early planing start similar to windsurfing.
The positive rake at the tail provides more front foot support and foil control at high speeds by allowing constant pressure on the front foot. It also ensures more comfort in choppy waters by lifting the nose at all speeds. And in case of a touchdown, it avoids sticking to the water.
The flat hull is 100% planing. Water flow is optimal, allowing maximum glide for easy and quick take-offs even with a small foil. You can reduce your front wing by 200cm2 for the same take-off.
The softened rails at the front third offer comfort and smoothness during water contacts even at high speeds or in choppy waters.
Straight and sharp rails at the tail provide the Racer with more glide, similar to a windsurfing board. The sharp sides enhance glide and release, making the take-off phase easier.
In the center, the rails are less vertical. At the nose, they are significantly softened in the front third for added comfort and better pre-flight glide.
You can ride on the water, in contact, without any abrupt braking: great for when you make a mistake during a full-speed maneuver in a race.
A flat and very narrow tail for even more glide and minimum bulk.
The tight tail rocker allows optimal glide on the water before flying. Touchdowns at full speed are no longer a problem.
The bulb on this thin nose balances the board's volume and increases stability when at a standstill.
The nose rails are very round so that no edge catches the water. The glide is perfect.
The bulb, the narrow outline, and the round rails make touches completely painless. Instead of slowing down, the Racer bounces off the water and flies back up immediately.
With confidence, you can push your limits and reach your highest top speed.
Technical sheet
Buying guide
You need to have a good level because the Racer is a board with a very reduced width to maximize speed and take-off performance in light wind.
In larger volumes, it is more manageable, but if you take a volume adapted to your weight, kneeling in choppy waters will be challenging. So, you also need to be in good physical condition and agile.
Clearly, this is the board for someone who wants to maximize their potential in speed and racing.
The Racer is a slalom/race/speed board designed for slalom, racing, long distance, and speed record competitions.
Ideal in light or strong winds, it offers the necessary performance at the highest level.
Equipments
*2 extra holes on each insert block are hidden by the pad, but already drilled to allow for more extreme stances. In other words, inserts have in reality 5 holes by default, of which only the three central holes are visible. Exception for the Stunt, where the three most setback holes are visible.
