Because now all our 2025 Wave >< Freestyle boards are made in a FULL CUSTOM TECHNOLOGY. This makes the 2025 SLS boards again approx. 200g lighter yet much stronger than boards made in the usual semi custom construction.
But for us custom made stops at the shape of the board because custom shapes often turn out to be a surprise egg.
Our SKATE SLS boards are constantly evolving designs and constructions to ensure we are continuously at the forefront of development yet with over 40 years of experience.
The SKATE has shaped the past, present and future of modern freestyle competition. With last years 91-litre size we had entered a new dimension. For this year all the other sizes are following the same concept. The 20.25 SKATE SLS are the most compact and radical freestyle boards we’ve ever made. Together with a finely tuned tail shape this results in explosive acceleration and top speed, leading to massive pop for dizzying spins and rotations. The compact shape ensures you accelerate faster, pop higher, spin quicker and land the move in complete control, ready to turn or pop again, ideal for double- or even triple power moves. The flat nose is ideal for sliding tricks, while the full tail ensures you maintain your speed even switch stance or during lulls. Shaped for zero compromise, the brand-new SKATE SLS will take your riding to the next level, no matter what your goals are. Rotate, slide, rinse & repeat – the water is your skatepark.

Rocker Line: The super fast rocker line provides instant top speed to transfer as much speed as possible into maximum jump height.
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).
Multi footstrap inserts and fin options: The multi footstrap inserts and fin options allow you to adjust the FreeWave according to your needs
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.
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"

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.
