Why You’ll Love It
Down-the-Line Drive
The Impact XR V2 carries speed through long sections and stays predictable under load, letting you focus on your line instead of managing the board.
Locked-In Rail Hold
The tuned rail shape engages smoothly and holds securely through steep faces, committed bottom turns and powered carving.
Control When It Gets Heavy
The board remains composed through stronger wind, gusts and choppy approaches, providing the confidence to push harder in demanding surf.
Strapless or Strapped
Multiple footstrap-insert options let riders choose a natural strapless feel or add compatible straps for powered control and harder landings.
Wave Performance
Performance Outline
The narrow, pulled-in shape supports high-speed rail control and clean direction changes on powerful wave faces.
Power-Surf Rocker
The refined rocker profile balances speed and control, helping the nose fit into steeper sections while maintaining drive along the face.
Modern Squash Tail
The squash tail combines a stable platform with clean water release for powerful bottom turns, responsive pivots and controlled top turns.
Thruster Fin Configuration
The three-fin setup provides the stability, maneuverability and dependable hold required for steep sections and powered surfing.
