RRD Maquina LTD V3 2018 surfboard

PRO THRUSTER

The Maquina is a classic thruster, the one you want to be riding when you want to have a totally reliable shape that will never let you down. This board becomes an extension of your mind and allows your eyes to draw lines on the waves. The new Maquina V3 is a pure surfboard, with the right feel and flex, being the thinnest board in our range which is getting you where you want to be at any time. The super thin profile throughout paired with the thin rails, nose to tail, allow this stick to be ridden powered and have maximum control at high speeds. Although this board has all the drive you need for speed, the flat rounded squash tail releases instantly aided by a progressive rocker. This gives you precise control over the direction of the board in any situation. Blink if you dare, you might miss an unforgettable moment of joy.

Technology

The LTD construction was introduced two years ago on our surf and SUP board range. Built with a lightweight technology that allows flex, control, and scoop-rocker line accuracy. The board is built with a CNC EPS core of 20 kgs/m3 density, then laminated with 200 grms biaxial glass fibers and finished with a 55 grams carbon net over a bamboo stepping deck vacuum glued onto the board at 90 compared to the stringer length so as to avoid excessive stiffness onto the board flex.

So this construction is slightly lighter than the Classic PU, for about 300-400 grams, but the difference is not as much the weight, but it is stronger and has the EPS foam core. The EPS core makes the board more buoyant because the foam retains more air. The boards in the LTD construction feel alive! Not only because of their light weight, but mainly due to the added floatation. These boards were created specifically to ride strapless and are ideal for strapless freestyle. They are meant for riders that want a lightweight board that can also be controlled at high speeds.
