RRD Ace Black Ribbon y25 2020 surfboard

Light Air / Freeride / Surf

Getting the most out of marginal conditions. That’s the purpose of our Ace 5’2”, a freeride, flatwater board, that is fast and planes early, designed to have a blast on small, mushy surf. Need a board for light wind and mostly flat water? This is it! The radical, retro style shape with wide outline and moderate volume allow this board to float you through the lulls or pump through a section to squeeze out an extra turn on that knee high monster!!

Features:

• Curvy outline for better maneuvers and wave riding potential
• Mono-concave hull with slight tail kick to improve control over choppy water and maximise pop
• Straight rocker and nose lift improving planing potential and top speed
• Moderate thickness and rails for increased maneuverability

Black ribbon technology

Taking lightweight kitesurfboards towards a ridiculously light and strong level! The Black Ribbon technology is the first line of kitesurfboards in the world made with Aerospace technology!

The internal EPS core with only 15 Kg/m3 density is extra compact by the use of a special mold. This unique mold creates a perfectly sealed surface where the epoxy resin penetrates the layup at just the right amount, creating the perfect bond between each layer, but not too excessively that would simply add weight and no specific structural strength.

For added reinforcements without significantly increasing weight, a 3 mm PVC foam layer is added on the deck to maximize impact resistance in addition to keeping the structure as light as possible while a full bamboo bottom sandwich layer creates the perfect blend between ding and dent strength on the bottom of the board. The entire structure is then fully covered with a complete layer of 160 grams Biaxial fibers combining a 45° mix between Carbon and Innegra fibers.

The new Black Ribbon construction provides a lightweight and strong kiteboard while maintaining a significant amount of flex compared to a full carbon layer.
