A custom made, which will be a series board soon.
Torsten Wickboldt from Hamburg, Germany developes these boards. You getz on it and everything is perfect: early gliding, round turns.
Only for the grip not all had the same opinion. The board can be trimmed with different fins, so you either can have a loose feeling (1.25) or a maximum grip (2.0).
Cool board, let’s see, how it will look like as series.
Editorial remark:
At the last day before editorial deadline Torsten came with the first production board to us: top quality, custom look, weight as required, even better pads, soft wide foot straps, optional Da Kine foot straps. Unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to test it again.
+ very light, very good riding characteristics
