Flexifoil Hadlow 138




First ride and look at the 2011 Flexifoil Hadlow Pro.
For 2011 we have a new Hadlow board from flexifoil,
With the mix of a 5x times world champions input and Colin McCulloch Shape and Design you can expect a pretty special board.
First thing is the board only comes in 138x40cm same size dimensions Aaron rides. (A 135 and 132cm will be available later).
Looking around the board you will notice a caped bottom, this has allowed them to give the board a shed load of rocker for heavy landings and punching through chop with out killing the planing ability. The cap is flatter then boards rocker and has a large concave giving it lots of get up and go.
Graphics of the board have been kept simple but still have a premium look and finish.

On the Water the Flexifoil Hadlow 138 tracks very well, railing the Hadlow over allows you to track in very straight lines and it cuts up wind way better then any thing shorter. With help from the new fin design, you can break the tip and tail out to the side easier than the boards edging ability would have you think.
With the board being 138cm, it's swinging weight for the lighter rider could become a problem but with the light weight construction and wide stance you really dont notice it is a larger board.

All the benefits of a longer board (early planing, up wind ability, Control through chop and waves, easy landings.) with all the benefits of a smaller board (Over powered control, maneuverability, and Coolness)
