THE SEAL CONCEPT 2007
August 14th
Issu d˙?un développement rigoureux poussé dans ses limites, ce flotteur unique de vague est indispensable pour tout waverider à la recherche de performance et d˙?efficacité.
Resulting from a thorough development, this unique wave board is essential for all wave riders looking for performance and efficiency.

Maniabilité extrême inégalable, vitesse incroyable dans les courbes, stabilité parfaite à faible vitesse ou à l˙?arrêt, planning immédiat, le shape du Seal Concept est dédié à l˙?action. Il s˙?exprime dans le mouvement.
Véritable arme dans les conditions très moyennes, vent light ou on shore, vagues molles, elle est très réactive et reste très légère sous les appuis, offrant une réponse instantanée.
La sensation de survoler le plan d˙?eau ! Les surfs s˙?enchaînent, avec un double potentiel de bottom turns et de rollers. Le replacement au peak est optimisé en tri fin par un appui pied avant en légère contre gîte : le cap à faible vitesse est super efficace, réel soutien pour le passage des barres. Le shape court passe les vagues avec aisance, son planning rapide autorise tous les jumps d˙?une vague à l˙?autre.
Dans les conditions parfaites, dès 8 n˙?uds de vent, le style « surf » s˙?impose ! Les courbes parfaites accélèrent sans cesse au surf. La sensation unique de rider plus˙?La vague se travaille avec pureté. L˙?osmose est totale avec l˙?élément.
Son shape atypique, très court, demeure parfaitement équilibré. Le pied de mat a été reculé à 108cm du tail et l˙?écartement des straps est plus important pour une position surf.
Si une petite « prise en main» est nécessaire, elle est optimisée par une option single fin pour une adaptation progressive du tri fin, exigeant une position plus droite et des appuis plus verticaux sur le flotteur. L˙?utilisation en single élargit la plage d˙?utilisation, les 213cm se contrôlant à merveille même avec 35 noeuds de vent !

Le kit Seal d˙?ailerons, composé de tri fins 11/15/11 et d˙?un single 21,5cm avec les obturateurs de boîtiers, complète le flotteur.
Equipée de nos pads triple densité, La Seal est la nouvelle board de vagues de référence !

Survolez votre spot!
Fly over your spot!

We have invested ourselves in this direction, researching concentrating on all of the different parameters. The development of an optimal scoop, straight flat on the back, a very compact outline (213cm x 60cm) shaped flat with a double concave under the foot zone, a perfectly balanced volume (88L) and a true research on the rail front section of the deck, enables one to decrease its power in curves and allows one to increase a precise and incisive manoeuvrability, making it a real ˙?sail surf˙?.
Offering an extreme and incomparable manoeuvrability, amazing speed in curves, perfect stability in low speed and while standing, immediate planning, the Seal shape is dedicated to offering action and best ˙?expresses˙? itself through movement.
True weapon in very average conditions, light or on shore wind, soft waves, it is very reactive and remains very light under the feet, offering immediate response.
The feeling of fly over the spot! Surfs connect with a double potential of bottom turns and rollers. Replacement to the peak is optimized on tri fin by pushing on front foot against lodging: up wind with low speed is super efficient offering real support to go up to the peak. The short length enables one to ride easily over the waves and the quick planning allows all jumps wave to wave.
In perfect conditions, as of 8 knots, the ˙?surf˙? style rules! The perfect curves accelerate with no limits in surf. The unique feeling of riding more˙? the work on the wave is pure. Osmosis is total with the element.
Its atypical shape, very short, is perfectly balanced. The mast box has been placed at 108cm from tail, and the wider distance between the foot straps allows a ˙?surf˙? position.
A little time is necessary to perfectly appreciate the potential of the board; however it is optimized by the single fin option to progressively accept the tri fin, which demands a straighter position on the board.
The single fin enables one to use a wider range of the board˙?s characteristics as the 213cm length is so easy to control even with 35 knots!

The Seal fins kit is completed by: tri fins 11/15/11 and single fin 21,5cm with twin box plugs.
Equipped with our triple density pads, the SEAL is the new wave board reference!
