Australia’s finest Hayley Smith worked with wakeboard coach Mike Ferraro, who arguably knows more about fluid dynamics than anybody out on the dock. They worked on a new shape for varying abilities, and styles to determine the universal characteristics a rider needs and blended them into one shape. The result was this new Smooth Flex constructed shape, which is being referred to as the best board he has created to date. This board has a 3-stage lift in the center, with a continuous outer rail. A rider can still get that explosive more vertical lift, but the faster outer rails push the board into the rider. You feel the speed of continuous and the float of 3-stage. If a rider comes in with a lot of angle, the board is reacting more to the outer continuous profile - feeling the added speed, coming in and flatting the board out as they hit the wake - the 3-stage kicks in. This is a series you don’t have to really stand on to create a progressive cut from the sharp/hard edge on the tip/tail of the board, outside of the stance. The rounder radius bevel in the center of the board, inside of the stance, creates forgiveness. A legendary new all purpose shape from smooth/low maintenance carves, to wide open high speed cuts behind the boat, versatility on the cable for air tricks and our super wide stance option for extra board control at the cable.
