Patrik 2025 F Ride Board

Description

This board is the cure-all for windsurfers frustrated with wide boards that just don't suit them.
The F-Ride may be the longest freeride board on the market. Wide boards certainly have their advantages, but from what we know, intermediate freeriders don't get much use out of the extra width, so why should we? Here's our F-Ride. The extra length on the flat surface under the straps makes the board more stable and holds the water better. It also significantly improves planing (without pumping). The narrower width makes it easier to get into the straps and balance both feet in a comfortable position while riding.


Don't confuse extra length with slowness or lameness. The F-Ride actually planes quickly, accelerates well
and has huge speed potential while being super forgiving. The great success of this board proved us right.
Loved by hundreds of windsurfers around the world, this board will take your freeride to the next level!

SHAPE:

Design and pads:
Colorful yet clean. Italian design by Fabio Canelli makes this board a timeless classic.
The 6mm diamond grip has an additional 6mm layer of soft sponge. which gives a total of 12 mm, and most importantly it is very, very comfortable.


Scoop-Rocker:
Additional longer flat between the straps provides better passive entry into planing (without pumping), greater stability, easier tacking and jibing and very pleasant and forgiving fun.


Buoyancy distribution:
Almost even height of the foot position under both straps makes sailing and sailing upwind easy, balanced
and almost effortless.


Outline:
More elongated profile with more parallel sides allows for easy start, early entry into planing, greater speed during jibing, easier tacking and surprising top speed.


Bottom shape:
/>Double concave V with stabilizing side flat edges from the bow to the front strap that absorbs shock and provides a comfortable ride, then merge into a flat V panel all the way to the stern for all-round stability while riding and easy maneuvers.


Rails / Tuck:
Boxy rails create the widest, most stable board that floats in unplanned conditions. Also during jibs this edge will lift nicely and the board will maintain its dynamics. Sharp edges at the stern provide the cleanest water release for the best performance while planing and accelerating.


Deck Shape:
Both strap positions have been designed to have the right thickness and shape to provide a comfortable position while using
any inside or outside position. Enjoy a comfortable and controlled ride.


Finbox:
Deep Tuttle Foilbox. Inner and outer strap positions with an additional middle strap option in the tail area for beginners.
Each insert has 4 positions for individual adjustments.

Construction:

For this board, blind testing with standard epoxy boards proved that our Biax fiberglass is a better choice than carbon construction. The explanation is quite simple. Carbon fiber is hard, stiff and transfers vibrations and chop impacts much more to the rider's body, while biax fiberglass provides extra flexibility and absorbs most vibrations, providing a more comfortable and controlled ride. This extra control results in better top speeds. Most riders have proven to be faster on this build in head-to-head speed tests.
