Wadup everybody!
I'm super excited right now
Cause I just got my hands on
The new 147 Refraction
In this video I'm going to break down the
The new 2020 Refraction
The new size, the new widths, the new rocker line
Lets go
First of all, we have introduced the 147
Thats going to be 43cm wide
Which is a little bit narrower than the 143
Now this extra length means you can shave off a little bit on the edges
Which helps edge, get more speed, and create more pop
I'm really really excited about the 147
I'm just really enjoying bigger boards
A smoother, carvy-er feel
Softer landings
Better light wind performance
Also we flattened out the rocker across all the boards
The 139, the 143, and the 147
Will all be pressed in the same rocker as the Asylum
Which is a faster, more freestyle progressive rocker
Last year we just found the board was a little bit slow
But this year its going to be faster, better light wind performance
I'm really enjoying the bigger boards
and I think kiteboards will get bigger, over the next couple of years
The other key things, I love about the Refraction
Is the inverter Naca-tech channels which
I always bang on about, but these things are great
They provide a lot of pop, and also grip
and never get caught on rails which is really nice
They are subtle but effective
The V spine in the centre of the board
You can see on this board, it's a little bit scratched up
but you can see this subtle V spine creates really soft landings
The main characteristics of this board are soft landings
Huge amount of pop
The indestructible Slingshot ballistic base
Also makes it really fun if you want to slide up the beach
On the sand
Hit sliders
It add's a little bit of weight the board
But it does make it way more durable
It's not even comparable how durable this base is
You can throw anything at it
I use the Refraction in all conditions
I use it for big air, for freestyle
Straps
Boots
Park
You name it
I use this board for everything
I love having one board for everything
Yea really excited about the new
147 Refraction especially
But the whole 2020 Refraction
Also very stoked on the new graphic
Errrrrm
yea
Just my cup of tea
But without further ado, lets get out there and try it out!
Woahhh, woahhh!
