PRODUCT FOCUS
Core
V-Shaped Keel
Inspired by the legendary handling of deep Vee powerboats in
rough waters, we extended the prior model’s V-shaped keel to
a full-length, deep Vee hull. The new design eats chop and even
smoothes out hard landings. Test the new Choice 3 in the roughest
water you can find. And feel the deep Vee difference.
Choice 3 - Vario Rails
Variable rail thickness. For better control and more pop. The Choice
3 features 9.5mm thick rails near the center of the board that reduces
to 3mm at the tips.
Diamond 3D-Shape
Diamond shaped perfection. Look closely at the Choice 3’s surface
contours. On the tips, you’ll notice diamond-shaped recesses. The
refined contours reduce weight and direct torsional forces to the
fins and edges where you want them for a perfect balance between
flex and rigidity.
Pro Rocker
The Choice 3 features a progressive freestyle rocker that is most
pronounced under the handle. Board curvature is then reduced
towards the tips. Individual flex patterns are built into each board
size to lock in the best performance possible. Without giving
away our secrets, good flex and bad (aka negative rocker) flex is
managed by varying the lamination thicknesses during production.
A super hard landing, for example, can create a negative rocker
between your feet. We worked very hard to eliminate bad flex, so
those rock-hard landings are easier to stick. Not to worry, the Choice
3 is still deliciously fun when you are not “in training” mode. Go
hard. Or easy. Either way, you’ll love it.
Boot Tough Inserts
Bombproof hold for fixed boot bindings or straps. The stainless
steel V4A thread inserts are laminated in a massively reinforced
base plate deep within the board. The inserts feature three different
stance options.
