Item details
The new Ho'okipa Quads evolved from our Custom Quad designs with the goal to find the best combination of speed, drive and turning ability. These boards maintain speed from huge down-the-line waves to mushy onshore rollers and everything in between. They are Robby's and Ricardo's go to boards in pure wavesailing condition.
SHAPE DETAILS
The bottom shape features a single concave nose entry area that transforms into a double concave mid section carrying the drive on the tail into a flat release. This creates a straighter scoop rocker line in the midsection while keeping the curve in the rail. The flat center line delivers speed and planing power. The rails start with a soft edge in the nose that carries through the midsection and transfers into a surfboard style sharp release in the tail section. This rail design gives the board secure drive through the bottom turn even in choppy conditions while providing a clean release in the top turn.
Technical Data
“When it comes to the wave boards that I ride in Hookipa and in side to side offshore wave conditions then I am most likely one of the pickiest guys you can ask for. I am trying to push and ride with as much speed possible but also need to be able to redirect my board in an instant. Finding that magic balance between drive and release in the top turn is crucial. The new Hookipa Quads deliver on all those aspects.” - Ricardo Campello
