NEW SMIK Wing Slab V3
Share
Two years after the release of the much loved V2, it's now time to introduce the updated ultimate all-round wingboard from down under, the SMIK Wing Slab Mk 3.
Narrower and thicker than its predecessor, the Wing Slab V3 is all about getting you earlier on the foil and giving you the control and confidence to go for big moves and smooth carves.
At first glance, the difference with its predecessor is stark: with a more compact tear-drop outline, the Wing Slab V3 has gotten thicker in the right places, and overall narrower.
This translates into a more agile feel in maneuvers, jumps and surfs, which is enhanced further by the pulled-in tail. As a result, the SMIK wingfoil board provides a more direct feel, with immediate feedback and superior foil control.
The thicker tail packs more volume, which allows you to pop earlier onto the foil, as well as bounce back up after landings. Combined with the longer flat on the bottom, it generates more speed and glide to lift earlier.
Looking forward, the long flat on the bottom merges into a double concave to smooth out chop and soften touchdowns, while the aerodynamic nose pierces the air efficiently, providing extra stability in flight.
Rails remain bevelled for minimal drag and smooth touchdowns.
Over on the deck, the Wing Slab V3 boasts a soft square-grooved EVA pad that's comfortable but durable. Double Y footstrap inserts allow for a wide variety of foot positions to accommodate different foil brands and riding styles.
All these features come together to make this Wing Slab V3 the ultimate all-round wingboard for freestylers, freeriders, surfers and anyone seeking high-performance fun.
As in the past, these will be available in in two constructions: Full Wood Glass technology, shown here, which we will have in stock for immediate shipping in Europe, as well as the Biax Carbon PVC construction, which will be available on pre-order.
