The performance level amongst freestyle sailors is rising quickly. They are a new breed of more demanding pilots, looking for the board that can take them to the next level.
New Caledonian Colin Sifferlen, the current PWA King of the Lake, is known
as the most dedicated technical freestyler. Colin had free reign in
developing his own new collection of boards which Starboard makes available
for core freestylers. The boards he used to win with were shaped by Jean
Lois Colmas from New Caledonia, and for 2004 they have both gone all the way
by creating a new concept to change the world of Freestyle. An especially
thin board gives more control as the feet remain closer to the board's
centre of gravity during tricks and landings, whilst the thin shape also
provides the best pop. The extreme width brings a whole new dimension to
Freestyle, providing earlier planing and more stability when landing or
completing tricks. The Freesex rails feature bevels right back to the rear
foot strap making them even more forgiving, whilst a flatter rocker ensures
the highest acceleration. The Freesex boards are now the clear reference for
aspiring and advanced freestylers.
Warning:
The measured volume can be deceiving for this new radical freestyle design:
Freesex 84 planes up super early with its 61 cm width, yet performs as the
most radical freestyle tool we ever made.
