DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What you'll feel
The board is incredibly responsive. Its noseless shape and short rails deliver explosive pop for airs and allow for super tight rotations. The high-density EVA pads help you stick your landings, absorbing impact and keeping you in full control. In small surf, you'll find it easy to maintain speed, letting you link smooth turns and powerful cutbacks without the board bogging down.
Sizes and how to choose
Three sizes (5'0, 5'2, and 5'4) cover a wide range of rider builds. The 5'0 is for lighter riders who want maximum manoeuvrability, the 5'2 is the all-rounder, and the 5'4 offers extra float and stability. We recommend choosing your size based on your weight and your goals: go smaller for more radical rotations or bigger for more comfort and glide in the surf. Always check the recommended weight range for each size.
Construction
The CVC (Composite Vacuum Construction) keeps the board lightweight yet incredibly durable. This build features a 3mm PVC sandwich layer and a carbon stringer in the base, striking the perfect balance between flex and stiffness needed for high-performance strapless freestyle and wave riding.
Grip and fins
The high-density EVA pads provide a secure, locked-in feel underfoot, preventing any slips when you're landing tricks. The board is set up as a Thruster with Futures fin boxes. The included fins enhance its grip in the surf, allowing you to carve sharp, powerful turns without sliding out.
On-water behaviour
In small to medium waves, the Escape V2 has a lively and playful feel. It accelerates quickly out of turns, offers precise edge control, and provides a great connection through the rail. The short rails reduce drag and lower the swing weight, making it easier to initiate spins and rotations. This is a huge advantage when you're linking freestyle tricks with flowing surf lines.
Who is it for?
This board is aimed at riders who love both strapless freestyle and wave riding. It's a perfect choice for intermediate riders looking to dial in their rotations and pop, as well as for advanced riders wanting a compact, technical board for smaller wave conditions.
Buying advice
Pick your size based on your weight and goals: go for the 5'0 for maximum agility or the 5'4 for more float. The board comes with Futures fins, but don't forget to grab a boardbag for transport. If you're between sizes, we suggest sizing up for a bit more volume and comfort in the waves.
