From Core
SMALL WAVE FUN MEETS SERIOUS FREESTYLE
The compact Badger bridges the gap between the 720 and the Ripper. With a lot of volume in the nose and a fish tail, the Badger was specially developed for surfing in small (wind) swell and also has an extremely high freestyle suitability.
The brand new construction of an XPS core and Glass-Soric sandwich is impregnated by infusion - this is unique and guarantees excellent strength of the board. We are looking forward to the feedback from the scene.
Shape
Fish-outline
In general, a fishtail takes up some space from the tail and lengthens the rail. The result is that a fish can be "forced" extremely well into small, snappy turns, but also the long rail with the small radius ensures that wide radius can be surfed with a lot of grip and high speed.
Hybrid Hull
The spine in the nose provides extreme smoothness, soft landings and minimizes the risk of diving in the chop. The transition into a double concave ensures that the rocker in the middle section is kept low, while the rails have a higher rocker. This allows for tighter turns than classic fish shapes. The Vee in the tail gives the Badger a lot of control and a smooth transition from rail to rail.
Flat Rocker
The Badger has a flat entry, middle and exit rocker for particularly early planing. In addition, it gives the board a very controllable edging in the bottom turn as well as before the jump.
Grab-rails
Slightly indicated grab rails underline the Badger’s freestyle suitability.
Construction
Ultra-rigid Construction
In terms of construction, the Badger differs from the other surfboards. The waterproof XPS core has an enormously high compressive strength. It is encased in fiberglass and in the deck additionally reinforced with a Soric layer, which gives the core much better durability and makes it almost impossible to leave dents.
Unique Production Process
As with the Imperator, the laminate is impregnated by infusion - this is unique and guarantees excellent strength of the board. It also allows to build the board even thinner, as the stiffness is slightly higher than with classic surfboard constructions.
