DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Improved Speed and Planing
The SHADOW 2024 gains speed from a slightly deeper concave between your feet, which boosts its planing potential. On the water, this translates to faster power delivery out of turns and better upwind performance, so you can catch more waves.
Control and Handling
The round pintail, combined with thinner rails towards the tail, delivers exceptional handling and precise turns. You'll feel a smooth rail-to-rail transition and instant response during powerful carves or tight, snappy turns.
Comfort and Natural Ride Feel
The HD Foam Flex Composite construction provides optimized flex, making the board lighter while maintaining an authentic surf feel. Shock absorbers under the pad reduce impacts, adding comfort on choppy sections.
Stability and Extended Low-End Range
The transition to a slightly wider tail straightens the outline at your feet, increasing stability and improving performance in light wind. The result is a more forgiving board that still performs when the wind drops.
Deck Ergonomics and Ride Feel
The camel deck and moderate volume offer excellent control and natural confidence during maneuvers. The board's instant feedback makes it easier to commit to powerful bottom turns and link sections with fluidity.
Included Gear
All sizes come with a full deck pad and strap inserts. F-ONE Flow Carbon fin sets are included according to size (XS for 5'4, M for 5'6 and 5'8) to ensure a quick setup.
