DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Comfort and Chop Absorption
The new double concave bottom provides significant cushioning in choppy conditions. You'll feel less impact, which reduces fatigue and lets you stay on the water longer. For freeride sessions where comfort is a priority, the Soleil SLS turns a choppy day into a smoother ride.
Early Planing and Ease of Use
Thanks to its lightweight Textreme Innegra construction and refined flex, the board gets on a plane early. This makes things easier when the wind drops, which is ideal for progressing without fighting your board. It's a real advantage for riders looking for more comfort during transitions.
Responsive Carving and Control
Space Flex technology combined with Biax Carbon delivers precise carving and dynamic power delivery out of turns. You'll feel a lively response every time you load the rail, while the softer flex keeps things forgiving. It's perfect for linking smooth turns and landing your tricks with confidence.
Upwind Performance and Grip
The angled rails and tip channels enhance grip through turns and make heading upwind easy. You get more security as you power up and more control when you load the board to drive upwind, building confidence for more technical riding.
Lightweight Design for Female Riders
The combination of Textreme Innegra and Biax Carbon construction offers a great balance between reduced weight and responsiveness. The Soleil SLS maintains a clean look while offering features adapted to female riders who want both performance and ease of handling.
Practical and Versatile
Approachable enough for progressing riders yet delivering the feedback and performance that advanced kiters appreciate, this board is suited to varied freeride use and smooth tricks. Its forgiving nature makes learning easier, but it's ready to perform the moment you decide to push your level.
