The Flywave S is an all new addition for the 2010 FLYBOARDS range. Designed in association with Dutch wave-guru Ruud Overwater, who has put over 6 years of wave riding experience into this board. The FlyWave S is a mutant style board for the rider who wants to ride the waves powered with a board that has a surfy feeling, but still wants to keep the advantages of a twintip (it is very easy to ride). The FlyWave S works really well in choppy and short waves (big or small), when traditional surfboards are very uncomfortable. Flip nose and -tail are integrated in the FlyWave S, creating a board that is very resistant to spray and is not prone to dive into a wave. The Flywave has a 6cm tri-fin setup on the tail and two smaller fins at the nose, this way the board can still be ridden in both directions. The full wood core gives the FlyWave S extreme durability, kiteloops can now be performed without worries!

Flex/Scoop-Rocker:
We have developed and use a board flex measurement machine. This machine is used to measure the 3D-Shape in every important riding situation. One of the key points was to increase the flex outside of the feet and to add comfort and control in choppy and gusty conditions without losing the underpowered performance. The Scoop-Rocker line of the FlyWave is self adjusting from under- to overpowered conditions in a split second.

Mutant Shape:
With a pronounced riding feeling towards one side, due to the outline combined with the tri-fin setup the Flywave S gives superb grip in the waves. But still can be ridden in each direction, no jibing necessary! The flat bottom creates a board that is fast and easy to ride, while the Flip nose and tail give the Flywave S comfort and control in waves and choppy conditions.

The Construction:
The core of the Flywave S is made out of light, but super durable Paulownia wood. Since we integrated this core material in the FLYBOARDS, broken boards have been a thing of the past. The inserts are double reinforced. Thin ABS rails and tips made out of polyethylene are used to protect the sidewalls and to increase the flex in the tips. We use a 3 Dimensional construction, to be able to add the flex to the sides of the tips instead of only the whole tip. The weight of the FlyWave S will surprise you, it weighs almost the same as a FlyRadical M, giving you an even more enjoyable session on and off the water!

• With 18 inserts your optimum stance can always be created, whether it will be goofy, regular, straight or wide stance.
• Top sheets with silkscreen printing inside prevent the graphics from being scratched off by sand, shells and rocks.
• We use 3D computer analyses for the flex pattern of the board. Together with a ‘flex under load’ machine we are able to create an optimum flex pattern.
• The FlyWave S has a full wood core for a stronger construction. Vibrations are better absorbed and due to our new construction, the weight has been reduced.
