RRD Wave Cult V5, wider is better!

Program: Wave OnShore

The new shapes of the wave cults V5 incorporate the latest development of our hi performance sailboards line: wider body boards that are easier to use, more stable, planing earlier. This main feature (wide body) might seem in contrast with maneuverability, but when you actually work with a thinner rail profile, increased rocker and tail “V” then the whole right equation for performance level is achieved again with the good additions that the extra width will bring. A magic new formula that will improve the amount of sailing days in waves and will help improving your level.

Features: The all new outline with a pronounced “Kink” at about 90 cms from the tail, helps keeping the whole maximum width with more parallel lines on the forward section, maximizing the amount of board volume in the area you need to get going. Right behind the “kink” the board becomes suddenly narrower, enhancing maneuverability potential and tighter turns for radical maneuvers. Simply a blast

Technology: EPS / Full PVC 100 kgs/m3 density- 3 mm top and 5/3 mm bottom/ Innegra /Carbon 175 grms layup deck with PVC double sandwich stringers on bottom / full polished faded paint rails and bottom/Custom technology.

    Hi,
    Is there any difference between wave cult contest and wave cult v5? E.g. the 100l boards have the same length and diameter.

    Thanks, Christian

      Ciao Christian,
      yes you’re right, the new Wave Cult LTD V5 collection features 3 completely new shapes (75, 83, 92) while the shape of the 100 is the same of the V4 line, but now benefits of the new lighter and stronger LTD V5 construction…

    Hi,

    I am an owner of a wave cult 75lt quad 2012 model. I love it, but I would prefer if it was a bit lighter. I am looking forward to buy a 2012 contest edition, which is 6,4kg(rrd site) or the new 2013 v5 (new design). The question is what is the official weight of the new v5 wave cult 75 lt board?

    Thank you
    George

      Hi George,
      the weight of the boards have a +/- 6% discard. So on every board could have a pretty different weight.

      All that said, the V4 CONTEST edition is lighter than the V4 LTD edition,
      and for sure the V5 LTD editions will be as light as the v4 CONTEST edition or even lighter because benefits of a even better and lighter construction technology.

      Regards
