ALL-AROUND PERFORMANCE WAVE

Quickly getting on a plane and reaching top
speed is a crucial performance element of the Global that leads to great
jumping performance. Combined with a turning ability that allows the
rider to drive off his back foot or focus on carving turns off the front
foot, this board line truly has everything needed to perform in the
widest variety of conditions. It's best suited to side-onshore and
onshore conditions while offering enough range to also feel at home in
side-shore conditions.

SHAPE DETAILS

The Global's outline carries a bit more width
through the nose and tail compared to a Ho'okipa Quad, giving it
additional stability and planing ability. The V-bottom shape starts with
a slight V in the entry of the nose area that carries into a V with a
slight double concave in its midsection, transferring into a clean V
release out the tail. The rocker line focuses on early planing and fast
acceleration. Combined with the V-bottom shape, we managed to achieve a
turning ability that is comparable to other side-shore boards. The
Global's rail shape carries a slight edge with a medium tuck through the
nose and midsection that turns sharp just behind the front foot area
for ultimate early planing and good acceleration.
