DETAILED DESCRIPTION
New outline: early planing and low-end
At the heart of the 2027 design, the revised outline is wider to improve early planing and performance in light winds. The larger planing surface allows for earlier take-offs. It offers softer landings and better stability in variable conditions.
Comfort and stability in chop
The Double Concave Bottom absorbs shocks and smooths out chop. This provides a stable and controlled ride. Combined with the Soft Flex and Absorption Flex Tips, these features significantly reduce impacts and rider fatigue. This makes for longer, more enjoyable sessions.
Premium SLS construction
The premium SLS construction features Textreme Innegra and Biax Carbon. This keeps the board light while delivering a lively yet forgiving response. This refined flex offers smooth feedback and control, without sacrificing the reactive feel expected from a high-end Performance Freeride board.
Fluid carving and upwind performance
Space Flex Technology allows the board to flex dynamically in turns, for fluid carving and a playful feel. The Angled Rails enhance grip and tracking efficiency, improving upwind performance and making it easier to maintain speed and control in all conditions.
What's New for 2027, and Who It's For
For 2027, the new outline brings earlier planing and better low-end thanks to the added width, softer landings via a larger planing surface, and a slight gain in upwind performance (the Angled Rails maintain strong grip despite the width). The result: more ease for intermediate riders and heavier body sizes, without sacrificing the Freeride character. The Select SLS 2027 is for riders who want control, playful carving, and maximum fun.
