WHAT RIDERS SAY

"The Cross is like an old friend." - Jesse Richman

Leave all your identities behind

A smooth carving, super comfortable all-round freerider that blends the line effortlessly between surf and strapless freestyle. The 2021 Cross has been redesigned to feel more lively and responsive, with effortless acceleration, more drive off the rail and a faster, more reactive bottom shape. Created to play the waves in an ever-changing surf playground, ride real-world onshore conditions, flat water and chop. The Cross delivers instant speed, drive when needed and a comfortable stance. It provides generous volume and width for a fun, forgiving ride with great upwind speed and powerful pop for freestyle tricks. Featuring grabbable rails on the top deck for easy air-handling and cushy contoured deck pads for enhanced control. It carves, it jumps, it pops. The Cross is your everyday go-to - the ultimate all-rounder, instantly familiar, intuitive and easy to ride.

NEW quad concave bottom shape

Absorbs chop for a smoother ride.

NEW compact surf outline

With trimmed nose shape to reduce length and weight for easy travel. NEW reduced nose and tail width adds control at the top end and creates a better wave-fit for easier, sharper turns

NEW Increased tail curve and smooth progressive rocker

Technology

NEW VECTORNET IMPACT-RESISTANT GRABBABLE RAILS

New VectorNET carbon fibre diamond weave adds rail impact resistance while maintaining flex. Grabbable rail profiles on the top deck enable easy handling in the air and on the beach.

NEW COMPACT SURF OUTLINE

With trimmed nose shape to reduce length and weight for easy travel. NEW reduced nose and tail width adds control at the top end and creates a better wave-fit for easier, sharper turns

NEW INCREASED TAIL CURVE AND SMOOTH PROGRESSIVE ROCKER

Gives instant speed and drive off the back foot for optimal upwind performance.

FUTURELITE TECHNOLOGY

Carbon and Innegra Futurelite wireframe forms a structural skeleton to support the laminates, maximising strength without losing flex, and allowing the board to load and release power on demand for more drive and responsiveness.

FCSII PREMIUM FIN BOX

New lighter weight premium fin box allows for 9-degree rake. Compatible with both FCSI and click-in keyless FCSII fins for more speed & drive, quicker acceleration, and more response from your board. High-density foam reinforcements surrounding the FCSII fin box are shaped to match the curved template of the finbox for a clean bond and smoother load transfer into the board. Fin boxes, leash plug and foot strap inserts are structurally integrated, locking into the laminate with the Futurelite carbon innegra system to give extra reinforcement and flex-tuning.

DUALSHOCK EVA INSERTS

With a NEW stronger fibreglass layup under the main impact areas adds more durability and helps reduce denting around your heel. Our solution to reduce over-engineering, keeping the boards lightweight while retaining required flex.

WOVEN CARBON TAIL REINFORCEMENT

Spreads the load under the kickpad and gives impact resistance and torsional stiffness under the rear foot.

NO-SLIP DECK GRIP WITH TOE BUMP AND REAR WEDGE KICKER

Micro-corduroy textured EVA deckpad with intuitive front toe bump and rear wedge kick for maximum traction and control.

BEVELLED RELEASE RAILS

Allow the board to load and release from the water on demand. The bevelled rail profile reduces the suction effect of a round rail so water can shed off the rail and not wrap onto the deck. This allows the board to release off the water faster when loading and popping.

NEW QUAD CONCAVE BOTTOM SHAPE

Absorbs chop for a smoother ride.

NEW VECTORNET IMPACT-RESISTANT GRABBABLE RAILS

New VectorNET carbon fibre diamond weave adds rail impact resistance while maintaining flex. Grabbable rail profiles on the top deck enable easy handling in the air and on the beach.

A great everyday board
Super floaty, yet playful, this board gets a great session out of even the smallest and weakest of waves. I've yet to try it in anything over head high and no doubt on bigger days the steepest and fastest of waves would suit a traditonal performance shortboard shape better - but let's be honest, the vast majority of days in the UK are nothing like that.

Goes upwind very well, super stable for gybes and tacks and has foot strap inserts too - I think this would make a great beginner surfboard.
