Why You’ll Love It
Flyweight Speed
The lightweight carbon construction accelerates quickly and remains lively underfoot, making edges and transitions feel responsive without creating unnecessary fatigue.
Crisp, Powerful Pop
Textreme Carbon delivers a stiff and dependable release when the edge is loaded, producing clean pop for jumps, rotations and technical tricks.
Smooth Through Chop
The full-length double-concave hull creates a composed ride through rough water so the board can maintain its line and speed more comfortably.
Efficient Upwind Tracking
The bottom shape and dependable edge hold help the Formula V4 point upwind with less effort, giving you more time and space for boosting.
Ride and Performance
Full-Length Double Concave
The sculpted bottom creates a streamlined channel for grip, speed and upwind efficiency while smoothing the board’s contact with choppy water.
Soft, Composed Landings
On touchdown, the center spine of the double concave contacts the water first, helping break surface tension and produce a smoother landing.
Responsive Aerial Handling
Reduced tip weight gives the board a lighter rotational feel for easier repositioning, board control and corrections in the air.
Performance Without the Harshness
The Formula V4 balances a direct carbon response with controlled flex and chop absorption, supporting longer high-performance sessions.
Construction and Technology
Textreme Carbon Construction
High-modulus carbon fibers are arranged in a performance-focused layup to balance stiffness, flex, strength and low weight.
Featherlight Tips
The carbon structure allows the tips to be made thinner, minimizing swing weight and creating a controlled, tapered flex characteristic.
Atomic Wood Core
Vertically laminated Paulownia wood provides a lively response, consistent flex and dependable durability from tip to tip.
Singleshot Fusion Sidewalls
Integrated urethane sidewalls provide rail durability and additional dampening to help the board remain comfortable through choppy conditions.
Carbon Bedrock Inserts
Lightweight reinforced inserts create a secure binding connection while allowing the board to maintain a consistent flex pattern underfoot.
Dura Light Base
A thin 0.2 mm base material delivers a strong strength-to-weight ratio for durable performance without excessive added weight.
