The Gambler PROGRESSIVE WIDE SURF SHAPE IN A FULL KITESURFING SETUP
Gambler Kite Surfboard Includes: Surfboard, 5 fins (4 or 3 fin setup), traction pads, footstraps, hardware, surf bag
Gambler is a totally new and very modern, progressive shape, referring
to our last year Wide model, however it is light years ahead of it. This
shape was designed for everyday fun in all conditions ridden 4-5 inches
shorter than your average classic board. With less length and more
width this board is made for progressive and more floaty radical surfing
even when the waves are not that great. Because of the 3D bottom shape,
special channels in it and good amount of the rocker. This board is
still very fast which means it is stable in higher speeds despite being
apparently wider which is its advantage for the bottom end conditions
both in the wave and wind aspect. This extra width gives this board
quicker surf planing and catches more of the wave to surf it. The
Gambler provides the fun factor in smaller onshore waves, however in
nice side-shore bigger waves, it rocks as well because of its smart
rocker. This board is like 2 in one: it can make a session in a smaller
shorter onshore wave a blast and it also can serve you well in a very
big side shore waves with strong wind and high speeds because of the
generous amount of rocker.
The bottom shape goes from double under your front foot to single off
the tail. And that makes turns really nice despite the wider width.
Despite its name Gambler, it is a very safe shape as it provides lots of
fun in both: crappier conditions when its special dimensions help to
squeeze out surf time and in the epic days when the great hydrodynamics
and proportions dont make you suffer that you ride a little fat boy.
However as you can rip in those versatile conditions, you will go for it
more often and the chances that you will be wet are getting higher!
For sure a fun all-round board with lots of potential for flat waters as well.
Sizes: 5' 7 real beauty all-round weapon; 5'10 light wind or big guy board.
Construction of this board is a medium weight, durable full custom epoxy construction with hi density Styrofoam core and PVC foam double sandwich shell. Only finest fiberglass is used for this lamination and all the weight in the board is its strength, without any putties or fillers. Boards are very strong but still light enough to have lots of fun strapless and quick to plane.
Board comes with the full setup of accessories and new this season is the 5 fins/fin boxes that comes included, so you can ride it with 2 settings: Thruster or Quad - Thruster will make the radius of the turns a bit longer and will hold in the turn better while Quad will let you turn quicker, edge better, but on the huge waves might not hold to tight in long turns.
Totally new in the industry is the straps inserts that have a nice offset pre-positioned inserts so every rider can offset their stance according to his natural preference. Or keep it perfectly in line, which is a rare possibility on the market as well!
