This new concept in our range is made for the airtime lovers who don’t want to sacrifice the wave riding. The PATRIK F-Wave is most probably the fastest waveboard ever that still performs well in small to medium waves. With aPowerbox for the center fin of the thruster setup,weleave it entirely up to you which fin to choose to go fast and jump high or ride waves and slice turns.
Following the success of the 75, 85, and 95, Diethelm shaped the 105 and 115, which are new for 2023. These bigger sizes have a new rockerline with increased Vee. They feel small on the wave, but carry all the volume you need to be the first one planing. If you love to play in different conditions, the new F-Wave is here for you!

OPTICAL ASPECT & FOOTPADS
With the new graphics influenced by Italian designerFabio Canella,wehave created a colorful but still clean and classic board design. The 6mm thick diamond groove grip pad has an extra 6mm soft sponge under-layer which makes it 12mm in total. The special layup uses the hard layer to spread the load onto a wider board surface via the soft bottom layer of the pad. This gives us more impact resistance while keeping a direct feeling under your feet.

SHAPE
The very fast rocker line with rather little rocker is planningvery quickly.The"bat-tail" and side cut-outs have a similar effect to a slalom board, releasing the water earlier and driving the board up to top speed in no time, making the board feel loose on the straight. Line and agile in the turns.

SCOOP ROCKER
Very fast rocker line with little rocker fortop planning, acceleration, and top speed.

VOLUME DISTRIBUTION
Same as the QT-wave, it has a balanced thickness under the feet and mast track to be close in contact with the fins for good control, grip, and maneuverability, but it is still thick enough to be able topush for top speed and high jumps.

OUTLINE
Compared to the QT-wave, it is wider at "1 foot" to be able topush even more for planning, acceleration, and top speed.Thecut-out on the tail bottom is a kind of hidden winger that reduces the tail width in the back-strap area and brings similar advantages. The reduced surface allows the water to release earlier and increases acceleration and top speed in particular, but it also helps to tilt the board over into the bottom turn and roll back more easily into the cutback.

BOTTOM SHAPE
The goal was a fast, controlled, smooth ride, and we achieved this with a single concave under the mast track running into a"double concaved V" under the strapsonthe two smaller boards, while the bigger board performed best with the "double concaved V" running all the way through the bottom.

RAILS/TUCK
To improve the turning ability on the wider shape, we reduced the rail thickness in comparison to the QT-wave. For better and faster release, the tuck is a bit sharper as well and improves the early planning acceleration and top speed.

DECK SHAPE
Flat decks are ankle breakers when it comes to pushing for top speed, and the reduced rail thickness in combination with the slightly thicker center of the board makes the deck more domy and much more comfortable when fully planning in the straps. The extra dome under the back foot helps to getmore gripduringrotations.

FINS
The F-wave comes equipped with 3x PATRIK fins as a classic Thruster Setup with a bigger center fin and smaller side fins. This has proven to be the fastest setup for waves and jumping. The Center Powerbox allows the use of bigger center fins without the risk of breaking the board. The slot box sides save weight and leave you with enough trim options.

INSERTS
Each insert has 4 positions. The front strap has a double plug to be able to change the width and strap angle for different foot sizes and riding styles.

CONSTRUCTION
This is a topic where opinions differ radically. But at the end of the day, let the advanced riders prove that our construction is built to last. The full carbon/Kevlar deck is light and stiff with good impact resistance. The biax glass fibers on the bottom give you that controlled extra flex our riders love for big turns and landings. Important fact: The softer biax glass spreads the load much better into the 3D construction than a full carbon bottom would. This results in better flex, better strength, and better overall performance, while saving some money on production costs where it's not needed. Diethelms' knowledge in composite construction is unmatched in the windsurf industry. This is our way of creating sustainable products that will last you many years when used correctly.
