Why You’ll Love It
True All-Round Performance
The Fusion 7 combines comfortable freeride handling with the speed, grip and pop needed for hooked-in freestyle and big-air progression.
Explosive Carbon Response
Cartan Triax carbon converts edge pressure into immediate action, creating crisp release, powerful rebound and explosive lift.
Fast with Less Drag
The center bulge and curved tip channels improve water flow, reduce drag and help the board accelerate with a lively, agile feel.
Smooth, Controlled Landings
Vee Rocker, optimized bottom contours and the wide center keel soften surface contact for confidence-inspiring landings in varied conditions.
New Fusion 7 Performance Design
3D-Modeled Wood Core
The Paulownia core is fully 3D-pressed with integrated channels, concaves and tip shaping for seamless transitions between rocker, outline and bottom contours.
Redesigned Multi-Channel Bottom
The new channel arrangement increases grip, improves water flow and reduces drag during upwind riding and takeoff preparation.
Center Bulge
Inspired by modern ship design, the broad center keel reduces surface tension, smooths chop landings and directs water efficiently toward the tips.
Curved Tip Channels
Curved channels create a venturi effect that reduces drag while improving acceleration, grip and directional control.
Unibody Edge Light
Wrapping the wood core in carbon before attaching the ABS rails creates a torsion-box structure for stronger rebound, stability and edge control.
Vee Rocker
The refined center rocker supports early planing, reduces spray and provides controlled, comfortable landings across changing water conditions.
Construction and Technology
Cartan Triax Carbon
CORE’s high-performance carbon laminate combines triaxial fibers with unidirectional reinforcement for massive rebound and fast, direct feedback.
Paulownia Light Wood Core
Hand-selected low-density Paulownia strips create a lightweight, stiff and dynamic core without sacrificing strength or durability.
Tucked-Under Rails
Refined rail geometry flows from the center toward the tips for smooth edging, efficient upwind ability and dependable grip.
Beveled Deck
Deck-edge bevels reduce reverse flex and drag, improving early planing and supporting aggressive freestyle loading.
GreenPoxy 33 Resin
The Fusion 7 uses GreenPoxy resin with 35% bio-based content while maintaining the strength, clarity and durability required for performance riding.
ABS Rail Construction
Durable ABS rails complete the carbon-wrapped torsion box and provide a precise, dependable connection to the water.
