Ultra FreeWave SLS
THE LEGEND THAT INVENTED AN ENTIRE BOARD CATEGORY!
C54:purple
With the brand-new ULTRA FreeWave our major aim was to get away from the typical does it all compromise board. That's why we didn't go the usual route of creating an "easy going" freemove board and then trying to implement as much classic wave and freestyle skills into the shape. Instead, we went the other way around.

FULL CUSTOM SLS TECHNOLOGY
The FULL CUSTOM SLS TECHNOLOGY is a full custom technology which is one hundred percent identical to high-end custom made boards.
Instead of using a mould to bring the EPS foam core into its final shape each EPS block gets CNC milled. This ensures maximum precision and saves weight.
Same as with high-end custom board makers the major advantage lays in the processing. We call this SINGLE PROCESS TECHNOLOGY and it is the key to our industry-leading weight-strength ratio. Instead of combining working steps to save time and money every single step follows its individual process. So for example instead of joining the PVC sandwich with the EPS core in a single shot we vacuum-bag the top and bottom PVC shields with the EPS core separately.
For all SLS boards we use our most sophisticated layup which consists of more than 50 individual parts and components.
The major difference compared to the FULL CUSTOM D/LAB TECHNOLOGY is the S-glass on the PVC sandwich for the SLS boards (like most wave boards on the market), while the D/LAB boards are equipped with a carbon-Innegra layer on the outside. Innegra is the best composite fibre to prevent dents. Dents caused by the mast touching the board (during catapults or when getting washed) are mainly an aesthetic issue. But if you want a board that stays dent-free, you should opt for the D/LAB version.
Last but not least even every single board size has an individual layup. That’s the final stage of individualization in construction.
Yet all of this is achieved without any sacrifice in durability since we always follow our core motto LIGHT DONE RIGHT.
Mini Side Slot Boxes
The mini side slot boxes no longer offer any adjustment to prevent misplacing your fins. Now all adjustability for different riding styles and sail sizes is done through the center fin(s) only - Plug & Play and lighter weight!
Mini Mast-Track
The mini mast-track reduces the weight in the critical nose area. It also reduces the risk to misplace your mast base while still providing just the right amount of length adjustment for all riding styles and sail sizes.
Duotone Pro Pads
8-10mm thick duo density EVA (depending on the board type) provides best dampening comfort and control. The heat pressed diamond grooving pattern protects the EVA against abrasion and provides an extraordinary grip level. We only select EVA colours which don't look dirty after use and will also resist fading after hours in the sun.
Fin Configuration
- All FreeWave sizes come with a Powerbox single fin - reduced weight and maximum Plug & Play.
- FreeWave SLS 75 to 105 come with a thruster setup offering even more grip during manoeuvres and turns (get delivered with 1 Powerbox center fin plus 2 Slotbox side fins).
- FreeWave SLS 115 and 125 come with a Powerbox single fin. The 2 additional side Slotboxes offer the option to switch to a thruster setup.
FULL CUSTOM WOOD TECHNOLOGY
The FULL CUSTOM WOOD TECHNOLOGY is our most price attractive full custom construction.
Instead of using a mould to bring the EPS foam core into its final shape each EPS block gets CNC milled. This ensures maximum precision and saves weight.
Same as with high-end custom board makers the major advantage lays in the processing. We call this SINGLE PROCESS TECHNOLOGY and it is the key to our industry-leading weight-strength ratio. Wood reinforcements effectively dampen peak loads.
Last but not least even every single board size has an individual layup. That’s the final stage of individualization in construction. Compared to usual semi custom technology these boards are approx. 200g lighter and yet even stronger, according to our core motto LIGHT DONE RIGHT.
Deck Shape
Reduced dome deck shape results in a more stable/balanced stance, especially in drift & ride conditions.
Outline
Parallel outline design provides low drag and boosts control. The wide tail ensures incredible early planing and upwind performance and improves the take off for jumping.
Rail Shape
Medium rail diameter in the nose and center offer an ideal blend of performance and manoeuvrability. Thinned out rails towards the tail for maximum grip and control.
Duotone Premium Strap 2.0
High quality closed cell neoprene for maximum longevity. Only black Lycra coating guarantees maximum comfort as well as maximum durability. The strap features measurement markings to allow you to quickly set up and replicate your individual size. Board specific attachments:
> All World Cup boards come equipped with double-screw plugs to prevent any twist and ensuring the most direct connection to the board
> All other boards come equipped with single-screw plugs to allow a faster repositioning of the straps plus a more comfortable ride due to a certain "give"
NEW - Completely revised and unique design:
+ 20% less weight
+ Significantly reduced elongation for direct connection and to avoid slipping in too far with risk of injury
+ Improved preforming for quick and easy assembly
Bottom Shape
Very smooth and comfortable ride especially in chop thanks to constant V bottom shape with slight double concaves.
Rocker Line
Faster rocker line boosts planing power especially on the larger sizes.

»COMPARED TO PURE WAVE AND FREESTYLE BOARDS, THE SO-CALLED MANEUVER CONVERTIBLES FELT A BIT BORING UNTIL NOW. OUR AIM WAS TO CHANGE THAT. SO INSTEAD OF TAKING ELEMENTS FROM THE GRIP 3 AND THE SKATE AND TONING THEM DOWN, WE TRIED TO MELT THESE BOARDS INTO ONE. THE OUTCOME IS A HIGH PERFORMANCE FREESTYLE><WAVE BOARD THAT IS ALSO SUPER EXCITING TO RIDE IN FLATWATER BUMP AND JUMP CONDITIONS. FREEWAVE >> ULTRA FREEWAVE - THE KING IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE KING!«
