Description
In other words, the basis of the development was a potent new school freestyle board, which automatically led to maximum acceleration and pop.
This shape was then tuned so that it also functions as a capable wave board in logo-high side-on waves. For the ULTRA FreeWave to work in side-on wave conditions, it had to become crisp and direct plus truly work with a tri-fin setup.
Now let’s see what are the key ingredients of a great Bump&Jump Freemove board? For us it’s all about great acceleration, control and manoeuvrability.
But what’s really new and unique for such a board is the crisp feeling. Instead of feeling dull and boring to ride the ULTRA FreeWave offers an exciting ride sensation without sacrificing control or wind range. This is the reason why the FreeWave has been given the ULTRA suffix. The ULTRA FreeWave not only offers excitement when performing or learning new manoeuvres, but is also super exciting in a straight line and therefore puts a smile on your face throughout the entire session.
Our second priority was to create the first manoeuvre convertible that works equally great in single- and tri-fin setup and dramatically changes its character:
>> With the tri-fin setup it offers 70% of the GRIP 3 wave potential (top/bottom turns)
>> With a single fin setup it now feels a lot more exciting than its predecessor
>> Combined with a capable freestyle fin, the ULTRA FreeWave offers 70% of the hardcore freestyle potential of the SKATE
But we haven't stopped there yet. Instead of the industry-standard semi-custom technology the ULTRA FreeWave is now build in a FULL CUSTOM Technology which is the same way high-end custom boards are made. As a result, both versions are approx. 200g lighter than the previous models, but yet even stronger.
So you see, the legendary FreeWave has been improved in all respects deservedly becoming the ULTRA FreeWave.
The ULTRA FreeWave comes in 6 sizes of 74, 84, 94, 104, 112 and 119 litres for heavier riders and lighter winds.
Available in 2 FULL CUSTOM constructions:
+ FULL CUSTOM WOOD Technology: no one offers a better price - weight - durability ratio.
+ FULL CUSTOM SLS Technology: STRONG-LIGHT-SUPERIOR

Key Features
The first true Convertible: The first manoeuvre convertible which works equally good in single- and triple-fin setup and dramatically changes its character
MINI-SPOCK SQUARE TAIL: The square outline combined with the thin yet boxy rail profile generates additional volume to push against. This generates extra pop for higher jumps
Multi footstrap inserts and fin options: The multi footstrap inserts and fin options allow you to adjust the FreeWave according to your needs
2 Technologies: Available in FULL CUSTOM SLS or FULL CUSTOM WOOD TECHNOLOGY
Tech Features
Bottom Shape: Very smooth and comfortable ride especially in chop thanks to constant V bottom shape with slight double concaves.
Deck Shape: Reduced dome deck shape results in a more stable/balanced stance, especially in drift & ride conditions.
Outline: Parallel outline design provides low drag and boosts control. The wide tail ensures incredible early planing and upwind performance and improves the take off for jumping.
Rail Shape: Medium rail diameter in the nose and center offer an ideal blend of performance and manoeuvrability. Thinned out rails towards the tail for maximum grip and control.
Rocker Line: Faster rocker line boosts planing power especially on the larger sizes.
Mini Side Slot Boxes: The mini side slot boxes no longer offer any adjustment to prevent misplacing your fins. Now all adjustability for different riding styles and sail sizes is done through the center fin(s) only - Plug & Play and lighter weight!
Mini Mast-Track: The mini mast-track reduces the weight in the critical nose area. It also reduces the risk to misplace your mast base while still providing just the right amount of length adjustment for all riding styles and sail sizes.
Duotone Premium Strap: High quality closed cell neoprene for maximum longevity. Only black Lycra coating guarantees maximum comfort as well as maximum durability. The strap features measurement markings to allow you to quickly set up and replicate your individual size. Board specific attachments: All World Cup boards come equipped with double-screw plugs to prevent any twist and ensuring the most direct connection to the boardAll other boards come equipped with single-screw plugs to allow a faster repositioning of the straps plus a more comfortable ride due to a certain "give"
Duotone Pro Pads: 8-10mm thick duo density EVA (depending on the board type) provides best dampening comfort and control. The heat pressed diamond grooving pattern protects the EVA against abrasion and provides an extraordinary grip level. We only select EVA colours which don't look dirty after use and will also resist fading after hours in the sun.
WOOD SANDWICH TECHNOLOGY: The WOOD SANDWICH TECHNOLOGY consists of 40 individual parts and components and offers the best weight/durability vs. price ratio. This is achieved through combining the usual high density PVC sandwich foam with large wood reinforcement patches. This reduces the complexity of the layup which helps us to keep the price under control. Yet it leads to a very strong and just slightly heavier board compared to our Premium Sandwich Technology. We think there is no better performance for value construction out there.
Fin Configuration: All FreeWave sizes come with a Powerbox single fin - reduced weight and maximum Plug & Play.FreeWave SLS 75 to 105 come with a thruster setup offering even more grip during manoeuvres and turns (get delivered with 1 Powerbox center fin plus 2 Slotbox side fins).FreeWave SLS 115 and 125 come with a Powerbox single fin. The 2 additional side Slotboxes offer the option to switch to a thruster setup.
PREMIUM SANDWICH TECHNOLOGY: The PREMIUM SANDWICH TECHNOLOGY consists of 50 individual parts and components and is our lightest semi custom technology. Achieved through lighter raw materials and a higher carbon content and a sophisticated layup with a much higher amount of load spot specific patches, stringers and reinforcements. Important these weight savings do not go to cost of durability. This is why as the first production brand we offer a 1 YEAR UNLIMITED WARRANTY on these boards when registered online (dents excluded).
FULL CUSTOM SLS TECHNOLOGY: The FULL CUSTOM SLS TECHNOLOGY is a full custom technology which is one hundred percent identical to high-end custom made boards.Instead of using a mould to bring the EPS foam core into its final shape each EPS block gets CNC milled. This ensures maximum precision and saves weight. Same as with high-end custom board makers the major advantage lays in the processing. We call this SINGLE PROCESS TECHNOLOGY and it is the key to our industry-leading weight-strength ratio. Instead of combining working steps to save time and money every single step follows its individual process. So for example instead of joining the PVC sandwich with the EPS core in a single shot we vacuum-bag the top and bottom PVC shields with the EPS core separately. For all SLS boards we use our most sophisticated layup which consists of more than 50 individual parts and components.The major difference compared to the FULL CUSTOM D/LAB TECHNOLOGY is the S-glass on the PVC sandwich for the SLS boards (like most wave boards on the market), while the D/LAB boards are equipped with a carbon-Innegra layer on the outside. Innegra is the best composite fibre to prevent dents. Dents caused by the mast touching the board (during catapults or when getting washed) are mainly an aesthetic issue. But if you want a board that stays dent-free, you should opt for the D/LAB version.Last but not least even every single board size has an individual layup. That’s the final stage of individualization in construction.Yet all of this is achieved without any sacrifice in durability since we always follow our core motto LIGHT DONE RIGHT.
FULL CUSTOM WOOD TECHNOLOGY: The FULL CUSTOM WOOD TECHNOLOGY is our most price attractive full custom construction.Instead of using a mould to bring the EPS foam core into its final shape each EPS block gets CNC milled. This ensures maximum precision and saves weight. Same as with high-end custom board makers the major advantage lays in the processing. We call this SINGLE PROCESS TECHNOLOGY and it is the key to our industry-leading weight-strength ratio. Wood reinforcements effectively dampen peak loads. Last but not least even every single board size has an individual layup. That’s the final stage of individualization in construction. Compared to usual semi custom technology these boards are approx. 200g lighter and yet even stronger, according to our core motto LIGHT DONE RIGHT.
Deck Shape: Reduced dome deck shape results in a more stable/balanced stance, especially in drift & ride conditions.
Outline: Parallel outline design provides low drag and boosts control. The wide tail ensures incredible early planing and upwind performance and improves the take off for jumping.
Rail Shape: Medium rail diameter in the nose and center offer an ideal blend of performance and manoeuvrability. Thinned out rails towards the tail for maximum grip and control.
Duotone Premium Strap 2.0: High quality closed cell neoprene for maximum longevity. Only black Lycra coating guarantees maximum comfort as well as maximum durability. The strap features measurement markings to allow you to quickly set up and replicate your individual size. Board specific attachments: > All World Cup boards come equipped with double-screw plugs to prevent any twist and ensuring the most direct connection to the board> All other boards come equipped with single-screw plugs to allow a faster repositioning of the straps plus a more comfortable ride due to a certain "give"NEW - Completely revised and unique design: + 20% less weight+ Significantly reduced elongation for direct connection and to avoid slipping in too far with risk of injury+ Improved preforming for quick and easy assembly
