THE DAYS OF HAVING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN A SURFBOARD AND A TWINTIP ARE OVER. Until now, most of us have only tapped into half of what the ocean has to offer. You either surf the incoming waves or jump over kickers on the outgoing waves, but rarely both in a single session. That’s now a thing of the past.
SNACKPACK is a volume board that blurs the lines between traditional directionals and twintips. It provides drive during your bottom turns and lets you hit the lip; on the way back, you can maintain power, lean hard, and jump off a kicker just like with a regular twintip. Feel like pulling a kiteloop? The stability on high-speed landings will surprise you! Oh, and it flies over chop like no other twin-tip.
So what’s the downside, you ask? Prepare to be exhausted after your first session, because you’ll ride twice as much in half the time! WAVE RIDING The shape of the SNACKPACK is inspired by joining two rear halves of a SUPERWAVE. The surf rails, volume, outline, and rocker give it riding characteristics similar to a regular surfboard. You ride slightly more on the center of the board with a nose that isn’t quite as loose, but once you get the feel and balance down, there’s no turning back.
Riding with bindings also means you can surf closer to shore, take bigger waves, and switch much more easily! BIG AIR Yes, you can flip the SNACKPACK just like a twintip. We saw Marius jumping in Balneario (Tarifa), exactly as he normally does. You’ll feel right at home as you hold your power and make small or big jumps. As for landings, the SNACKPACK won’t break as easily as your regular surfboard, though we can’t promise it’s as durable as a twintip; after all, it’s a volume board. H
HAVE YOU EVER KITESURFED?
The SNACKPACK will make you see the ocean in a whole new light. Every wave becomes a kicker, and every kicker becomes a wave. Link moves and create combos as if you were in a skatepark; the possibilities are now literally endless. You’ll ask yourself: was I even kitesurfing before? No, you weren’t, and this is what we like to call “Snackpacking.”
