DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Planing and upwind performance
The Slice Bamboo has a high-lift bottom shape and a relatively parallel outline, making it easy to get planing and drive upwind. You'll feel its quick acceleration on the water, perfect for linking transitions and gliding through weaker sections of the wave.
Pop and aerial control
The board delivers a natural, powerful pop that helps you launch into strapless jumps and tricks. Combined with excellent control in the air, you can throw your moves with confidence and stomp your landings.
Handling and surf feel
Its thin rails and pronounced rocker make the Slice incredibly responsive in turns and stable through chop. The compact shape and rounded nose encourage creativity in small waves and make it easy to initiate turns.
Full Bamboo Construction
The Full Bamboo construction uses one layer on the bottom and two on the deck to combine strength, light weight, and durability. The material provides a lively ride feel while ensuring excellent reliability over time.
Bottom Shape and Landing Comfort
The distinct channel and double concave on the bottom improve handling and cushion your landings. You get more comfort when you touch down and find it easier to link strapless tricks.
Versatility and accessibility
Accessible and playful, the Slice Bamboo is perfect for new strapless riders who want to progress, as well as intermediate riders looking for a do-it-all board for small to medium waves and occasional freestyle sessions.
