GRIP TRI (3)

77 / 84 / 91 / 98 / 107 / 118

Switching our board technology from the industry-standard semi custom technology to our exclusive FULL CUSTOM PRODUCTION marked the foundation for all the rest to come (see TECH AND SHAPE DETAILS below for details). Because this technology lifted our weight vs. strength ratio to a whole new level. And it finally allowed us to make every single prototype in the factory like we are doing with our sails since over 30 years. Because the best prototype is worth nothing if it can't be reproduced or feels different due to different materials, processes or weight.

To achieve a similar step up in the 3D design we decided to get our own CAD program written. Compared to the industry-standard Shape3D software our DT_BOARD_3D program is much more accurate and lets us perform even super complex shaping tasks like the brand-new SYNCED CURVES CONCEPT.

DESIGN GOALS >> SHAPE DETAILS

Our main goals were to create designs which have a maximum range of use and are easier (less exhausting) plus more radical on the wave.

Basically we wanted to create a more stable platform which is great for getting going and going over the white water. But at the same time the boards should turn even more radical when going down the line, which are opposing features you usually can't combine.

Here are the 3 major shape details our team has developed over the last 2,5 years (see TECH AND SHAPE DETAILS below for all other details):

STABLE YET RADICAL CONCEPT

Our wave boards are 1-2cm wider than most other boards. 

The increased width results in a more stable platform. This makes our wave boards as stable and energy-saving as a 5 liter bigger board while drifting/floating and going over white water. 
Most importantly the additional width leads to an increased outline curve. This improves the maneuverability which makes the board turn as radical as a 5 liter smaller board. 
The result is an unbeatable broad range of use.

Key Features

> FULL CUSTOM PVC-WOOD TECHNOLOGY - Our most price attractive boards made in FULL CUSTOM CONSTRUCTION
> UNRIVALED BROAD RANGE - Revolutionary new shape concept: as stable and energy-saving as a 5 liter bigger board but yet as radical as a 5 liter smaller board on the wave.
> AI_Board_3D - We use our own exclusive 3D CAD software. Apart from being much more accurate and faster, complex 3D design tasks such as our ground-breaking SYNCED CURVES CONCEPT would otherwise have been simply impossible to realize. 
> Exclusive Board Production - All our boards are CNC shaped now in our exclusive factory to guarantee superior weight vs. strength ratio, quality and accuracy.
> Focussed World Cup wave designs - The GRIP is designed to work all around the globe with focus on Euro wave up to logo-high groundswell conditions.
> Exclusive Fin Production - All our fins are produced in our exclusive factory now. Instead of using one technology for all our fins we are using 3 different technologies according to the fin length and range of use.
