ARE YOU READY TO SURF LIKE A PRO, YET HAVE THE EASE AND COMFORT FROM A WIDER BOARD?
SUP BOARDER MAGAZINE SAYS
We were blown away by the performance capabilities of the Wedge. The board feels a lot smaller and compact than the specifications make it out to be and this is because of the pulled in tail, consistent rocker line, bottom contours and the thinner rail pro le. The Wedge could well be a SUP surfing quiver killer for beginner to intermediate SUP surfers.

SUP INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE SAYS
This 9’2” Wedge demonstrates the best hiding of volume we’ve yet experienced, both on sight and on the water. In surf with some energy, the easy take-off gives way to a smooth, rail-engaged bottom turn happily free from the clatter and excess speed that trouble some wider surf shapes. The tail response is light and the Wedge responds like a board 20 litres smaller. This board is a wave-burglar without equal. If high wave count, time on the wave and fool-proof stability in a board that behaves as a surfboard should are what you’re looking for, the Wedge is it.

FEATURES:
NARROW NOSE OUTLINE
The narrow nose outline helps you generate speed, limits the nose from catching through turns and fits in tighter pockets in the wave.

LOW NOSE ROCKER
Helps get into waves easily and early.

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.

MONO CONCAVE
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.

ROUNDED PIN TAIL
The Wedge has a new rounded pin tail to maximize the turning ability in these wider models. The 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.

FIN SET UP
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.

NEW SELF-VENTILATING VALVE
A self-ventilating air valve is available on the board. This valve is self-ventilating so, it should not be touched or removed – otherwise, you are at risk of damaging the valve system.

Short, stable and sensitive. Combining comfort with high
performance surfing.
• Short compact length allows you to perform explosive tight
turns, matched with a wide and stable outline.
• The thin 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 short board for
you to rip yet have enough stability to make sessions longer.
Bottom shape: Mono-concave through to heavy V in front
of fins to tail.

CONTRUCTION:
STARLITE
DURABLE, SCRATCH AND IMPACT RESISTANT WOVEN RAIL PROTECTION
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 sandwiched between 2 glass outer skins, increasing the overall total breakage strength and reducing the weight due to lower resin absorption.
