The design focuses on maintaining stability in turbulent water while allowing riders to stay "tight in the pocket" (the most powerful part of a wave). Technical Specifications Specification Surface Area 985 cm² (152.7 in²) Wingspan 896 mm (35.28 in) Aspect Ratio Construction High Modulus carbon for maximum stiffness and response Comparison Within the X Series
It excels in smaller waves , lighter winds, and choppy waters where early lift and efficient cruising are required. The design focuses on maintaining stability in turbulent
While the 985X is the largest for early lift, other models in the series cater to different needs: It features a unique wingtip flare and aggressive
The 985X is engineered to provide a "surf-like flow" across various conditions, particularly for intermediate to advanced riders. particularly for intermediate to advanced riders.
It features a unique wingtip flare and aggressive anhedral (downward curve) for ultra-fast roll transitions and precise, snappy turns.
