BEAUX KNOWS HIGH-ENERGY SKIMMERS AND CONSTRUCTIONS
He wanted a more reactive and lightweight laminate than a traditional woven carbon fiber so we worked with local aerospace suppliers on developing the perfect spread tow fabric. This material is thinner, lighter and has a much higher tensile strength. The result is a stiffer layup with energy unlike any surfer we have ever made. After we decided on our High Voltage Core, we then reinvented the skimmer rockerline. This brainchild has a smooth, stable rockerline running through the middle of the board for both riding switch and regular, but also has the ability to jump on the gas unlike any other board due to its faster rail rockerline. Feeling locked in with good tempo? Then, stay over the board. Needing a little extra push? Rely more on the outside rail. Predictability was also emphasized in the shape. A wider diamond tail allows for a more parallel outline, meaning shuvs and airs land with more speed and stability. A single concave bottom contour also helps maintain down-the-line momentum.

SKIMMER
A fast, responsive style of board where the rider’s position is centered with a more balanced body. These sharp rail, thin profiled boards react quicker for people that don’t have a lot of time to waste. Preferred by surfers that like to have more feel with their board itself – and not just on fins. They can break free easier for 360’s on the water or shuvits off it. A more forgiving style of board when riding behind a steep wake because you typically ride this style of board at a shorter length (making it less likely to dunk the nose). Because of how speedy these models are – you can get away with a shorter, lightweight length.
HYBRID
For riders that like a little bit of everything. They want to generate power through their bottom turns, but still be able to leave the waterline quickly and easily. A growing style of wakesurfing designed for bigger airs leaving the wake but can still lock in for a proper cutback.
SURF
Toss some buckets with some smooth, linked turns inspired by your favorite saltwater surfer. Traditional surf shapes have a thicker profile and a mellower rail/bevel allowing a rider to pivot a turn more from their back foot and are best ridden with either a deeper fin, or multiple fins. Riders usually apply more pressure on the back half of the board and generate more force through a turn. Still very capable of doing tricks on and off the water – just with a fluid like feel.
