DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Two Concepts, One Surfboard
The Ripper 6 marks a clear evolution in the CORE surfboard range. Developed as a hybrid between the Ripper and the Green Room, it bridges the gap between versatility and performance, redefining what a modern surfboard can offer. The all-around ability of the Ripper meets the big-wave command of the Green Room, delivering dependable performance in challenging conditions and for advanced maneuvers.
A Board That Rewards Skill
This board needs to be earned: active footwork and precise weight distribution are rewarded with exceptional control, responsiveness, and drive, especially when loaded up and at high speed. The Ripper 6 demands to be ridden hard and reveals its full potential in the hands of committed riders.
A performance-oriented shape
The narrower outline and squash tail deliver precise, sharp turns, while the advanced bottom shape allows for quick changes of direction. The direct, lively feedback encourages a dynamic riding style. The lengths are similar to the previous model, but the mid-size board has a narrower outline, so we recommend riding the Ripper 6 one size larger than its predecessor.
XPS and Ecoboard Construction
The Ripper 6 features a solid XPS construction that is durable, waterproof, and has a controlled flex. Built more sustainably, it is Ecoboard Level One certified. It comes with a rear traction pad, a leash plug, and FCS II fin boxes.
