Inspired by the parallel rail concepts of the Stubby and FreeWave STB models, the Blast takes the trend one step further and lands a solid punch on the traditional freeride market. This is a board with serious performance. But the real strength is just how easily that performance can be accessed. The wide tail gets you planing quickly and the upwind ability is class leading. However, it’s the mind-blowing acceleration that will take your breath away. Those straight rails reduce the drag and get the Blast up to speed with incredibly little effort. The compact nose, intricate bottom shape and parallel rails ensure that the characteristically fast ride remains smooth, stable, controlled and comfortable. Even the most dedicated ›blasters‹ need to turn around from time to time and the Blast has something special up its sleeve in this department too. With its thin rails and wide tail the Blast drives a turn and planes out of it with poise and stability not normally associated with boards of this size. It’s pretty simple really … if you want to have a blast, then choose the Blast!
