// fast and comfortableSporty freeride boards which combine the performance of slalom boards with the comfort of the X-Cite Rides. It actually is surprising that it is possible to go so fast over water with such exhilaration and comfort
If you enjoy going really fast but still want a certain amount of comfort the Super Sports are perfect for you. They also offer great carving jibe abilities, an aggressive, electric feeling and lots of top end control.
The previous models dominated pretty much all international magazine tests especially in the performance area. So Pryde did not change the basic dimensions a great deal but concentrated on fine tuning the fastest free ride boards on the market to make them not just faster but also giving them the edge in easy sailing and jibing.
What Pryde learned from the Slalom board development helped us achieve those objectives. The key to high speed runs is a relaxed stance on the board. The pressure on both feet has to be even. This guarantees that the board stays locked down and you can concentrate on keeping your rig in position.
The slightly wider tail results in a straighter outline curve which places the body into a more parallel position to the sail and center line of the board, guaranteeing even pressure on both feet and staying locked in both straps.
Pryde race team had input to the development of the deck on the Super Sport range: The Race Deck has a raised area under your front foot that helps you stay connected. Even if you use the further inboard strap option, the Race Deck will assist you in achieving a comfortable sailing position and stay connected to the board at all times whilst sailing.
The bottom shape has seen a complete revamp. We're using a double concave Vee flowing into a flat Vee towards the tail. The concave contributes to the smooth ride, gliding over the chop as the board swallows it up. The result is a smooth ride at unbelievably high speed.
At the tail pryde continue with the hull Cut-Outs, designed to control the lift wider tails generate. The cut-out size differs depending on the board size, on the bigger boards they look for bigger Cut-Outs to loosen the boards up and allow them to go faster. On the smaller sizes the cut-outs are proportionately smaller to secure a longer rail line to guarantee max control for high speed runs.
