Description
With impressive average weights ranging from just 3.4 kg (60 L) to 4.1 kg (100 L), the Skybrid D/LAB offers reduced swing weight and a highly responsive feel close to a prone board - while maintaining the volume and buoyancy needed for versatile performance. — The new shape, featuring a reduced bottom surface and finely tuned rail profile, retains the ease, stability, and control the Skybrid is known for, while improving take-off efficiency and making it easier to pump the board onto the foil—even in marginal conditions. Touch-downs feel incredibly smooth and will not interrupt your line or slow you down. — The standing area extends all the way to the rails, with increased width to support an offset stance, allowing for progressive and controlled turns when riding strapless. In strapped mode, the board delivers precise control and direct feedback for riders looking to push higher speeds and elevate their freeride performance. — Long Carbon tracks and a grippy 3 mm deck pad underline the direct riding sensation of this high-performance foiling machine. — Push the boundaries in lightwind freeride, dynamic freefly, smaller wave riding, or ripping bumps downwind with a Parawing. — Experience the pinnacle of foiling innovation — the Skybrid D/LAB truly feels Beyond Imagination. — — Note - this board is built in a high-end technology, which isn’t intended to be used for jumping.
