The Simmer Freemove, simmer has taken some extreme concepts and combined them to create an extremely all-round and versatile board. The rocker is a super fast freeride version of the low drag curves that we developed for their Fly Quad and Freewave boards. Combining the thin deck shape with the boxy rails, the board delivers excellent acceleration and high top-end speed, while still maintaining control and balance. The performance-oriented rocker and rails are combined with a versatile, wide and curvy outline. Together with the carefully constructed v flow a good degree of lift is provided allowing for larger sails and heavier riders. Other features are easy jibing all though the speed range.
Live scoring has brought a new dimension to many extreme sports fans, including skateboarding, surfing and now windsurfing! This year the PWA stepped up there game and began using the iScore.
