G6 Flywave

// GROUND SWELL DESIGN

2,590 USD2,640 USD

When it’s on, you need a board that you can trust. The Flywave is designed for uncompromised wave riding performance with rails that will hold your turn, no matter how hard you drive the board, a tight radius turning, and smooth rail-to-rail transitions. These are the main reasons why Flywave has quickly become our all-time best seller.

The Flywave has a solid, well-proven big wave heritage with a rocker adapted from Kai Katchadourian’s Peahi board. Taking this super fast and stable rocker into a curvier and shorter outline, then adding a winger swallow tail that ends close to your back foot, we then tuned the performance of the board to also fit the modern and slashy style for Alessio Stillrich. The result is a board that provides excellent agility and lets the rider adapt the turning radius to any type of wave. The control and speed down the line is retained even in the biggest and fastest of waves.

An extremely efficient rocker with low-drag entry gets the Flywave up and moving quickly, increasing both its ability for jumping as well the ability to catch more waves in lighter winds. Combining this rocker with a double concave V bottom creates a fast and smooth rail-to-rail performance in the critical section of the wave with quick aerial rotations, as well as performs in longer drawn-out turns in much bigger surf where you need to trust the rails with your life.

Tech

The Electric Flex Technology
Our layup, construction, and reinforcement are all placed in where user needs and they all work in together to create the optimal stiffness to weight ration. The construction moves with you, rather and against you, which makes the board feel more lively in every movement. We call this technology Electric Flex. For our wave boards we use 45 degree carbon layup for maximum the strength and flex and for our flatwater boards we use 30 degree carbon layup for more vertical strength. Basically, flex and stiffness where its needed. The main features of the construction is the PVC Sandwich stringer. This is the spine of the board which absorbs and distributes the force from impacts throughout the boards entire construction. This eliminates unnecessary breakage as stress is shared between the entire hull, creating a much more durable construction. The stringer also helps to maintain the rocker curve during manoeuvres.

Hot-Coat Finish
All G6 boards feature a hot-coat paint finish. This process combines the colour pigment with the outer layer of a hard epoxy gel coat, this improves the board colour longevity, making it almost impossible to stratch off, it produces an extremely UV-resistant coating that ensures the boards colour resists fading in strong sunlight, all of this whilst saving weight by replacing the base coat paint, and two layers of top coat paint

Winged swallow tail

Reduces the area behind the back foot strap to create a precise release in the critical section of a wave.

Contours

An efficient rocker with a progressive Vee with a low-drag midsection for vee that will easily generate speed down the line top-speed. The curved sections of the rocker allow riders from the intermediate to experts to drive through their turns with confidence.

Double Screw Inserts

Double footstrap inserts for maximum load and adjustable stance settings for tighter or personal preferences to either 14.5 cm or 15.5 cm for the front straps or 14 cm or 15 cm width for the back foot strap.

 

Dual-Density EVA Foot Pads

Dual-density EVA foot pads; 8 mm + 2 mm thickness. Textured with a diamond grip for superhero traction.

SELF REGULATING GORETEX © AIRVENT

The Flywave comes standard with a self-regulating Goretex © Air vent which allows air to pass back and forth between the foam core and the exterior of the board, whilst being completely waterproof. The double-layer membrane of Goretex on either side of a rubber O-ring prevents pressure build-up inside the board, minimizing the risk of delamination caused by overpressure inside the board even during a flight. You’ll never need to unscrew an air vent screw again.

STANDARD FIN SETUP // QUAD

Equipped with a quad fin setup, the Flywave G6 rides with more grip and control at higher wave riding speeds. The power of the fin cluster acts further forward, which drives the front rail into the water and gives the board added control in drawn out turns. At the same time, the shorter depth of the two rear fins makes it easier to set the rail at high speeds which means that the board feels more responsive in fast side shore or cross offshore conditions and in any situations where containment of speed trumps production of drive.

ALTERNATIV FIN SETUP // TRI

On the wave, the Tri Fin setup will give you the best possible projection and drive in turns, assisting the sailor in drawing aggressive turns in fast clean waves as well as in keeping speed through the bottom turn in less powerful waves. The Tri Fin setup will provide early planing, great upwind tracking, and ease of sailing while still providing a insanely tight turning radius. Versatile and snappy with a dependable reliability are the main characteristics of this setup.

 

Carbon slotbox fins
The manufacturing process with molded pre-preg carbon combined with an Airex core makes the fin one of the lightest slotbox fins on the market. More than half the weight compared to traditional G10 fins.

Rider Comments

Ben Proffitt

The Flywave is the best production waveboard I have ever been on. The shape just works. It's perfect for my style of sailing, and it works in all wave conditions. I use the 78 and 85 a lot, but even the 99 has a hell of a turn, and I'm 80 kg's. I don't know anyone who has tried it, who doesn't love it. It's a gem!

Kai Katchadourian

Worldwide go-to wave board capable of performing in anything from epic to less than ideal conditions. Low entry rocker / spiral vee combination provides early planing, and precise, decisive turns. The Flywave perform so well it’s hard to believe it’s a production board.
