DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Overall feel
You'll feel the difference right from your first waterstart. The Cartan 2 construction cuts weight without creating a hollow, chattery feel, giving you precise feedback under your feet. The Paulownia core balances the liveliness of the carbon for a stable, controlled ride. For landings and transitions, the energy return is direct and powerful, helping you load up for a clean pop and quick power delivery out of turns.
Sizes and how to choose
The range runs from 130x39 to 152x48, so you can pick the perfect size for your weight and riding style. The smaller sizes are geared for pop and manoeuvrability, while the larger sizes offer more float and comfort at low speeds. If you're between sizes, consider your main discipline (freestyle versus big-air) to decide.
Construction and What Makes the Difference
This 7th generation board still features the proven Cartan 2 composite, with its precisely aligned carbon fibres for controlled flex, and a vacuum infusion process that eliminates excess resin. The unibody carbon construction around the wood core ensures direct power transfer from your feet to the board, while the hand-shaped rails improve water flow and mechanical durability.
On-water behaviour
The deep V-hull and double concave help you lock in your edge for powerful carving and make for a more progressive and predictable stall. When you load up the rail, the board stays stable yet provides precise feedback, so you know exactly when to push harder. The sharp rails reduce drag as you exit turns, helping you carry more speed into your next trick.
Who it's for / level
We recommend this board for intermediate to advanced riders who want a responsive, high-performance twin-tip for freestyle and big-air.
Buying advice
Choose your size based on your weight and primary discipline: go smaller for freestyle, or size up for big-air and better light-wind performance. If you need pads and straps, be sure to select the Boardset Pads & Straps Ultra 2 option. When your board arrives, give the rails and inserts a quick check to ensure it's ready for many sessions to come.
