// freestyle Jumping, sliding, rotating and carving are the requirements for modern freestyle boards. Early planing and high speed to attack the maneuvers are expected in this package without question.
The World Cup Freestyle discipline has developed into a spectacular format, with only the big moves counting, the days of filling heats with small tricks are history.
Just like in Slalom all riders now have to use production boards in the PWA World Cups. This was no change for Pryde riders as they already used production boards in competition.
To execute power freestyle moves the boards need immediate acceleration to max speed, exceptional instant pop delivers the potential of big air. Pryde have improved the instant pop-abilty and made the slide more forgiving.
Competition freestyle boards which are made for big spectacular moves. Unbelievable acceleration, great speed, very good maneuverability and instant pop are what it takes to go big. These boards got it all and they are still fun and comfortable to sail for everybody.
For cleaner and more explosive release Pryde narrowed the outline around the front foot strap. This allows the rider to change the carving rail quicker. You can launch moves faster, with greater rotation generated at take off and carry that into the air, achieving new heights and unlocking more potential to perform the impossible.
Upon landing the boards are stable platforms which slide easily, without the fear of tripping a rail.
The new boards have a constant flat Vee. From the mid section to the nose Pryde use extra bevels in combination with a very soft tuck line on the rails. These attributes guarantee a slide that just keeps planing and nothing will slow you down.
They introduced the new deck shape already last year. Now it has been refined. Your heel is still positioned lower than your forefoot. This offers a very comfortable stance where you always remain perfectly connected to the board in the tricks, with foot steering becoming even more efficient. The rider can instantly transfer his whole body weight from one rail to the other. This also results into extra pop and carving abilities.
