Wildcat

FREEWAVE, FREESTYLE, FOILSTYLE

xs82, 92, 98 & 108

The Wildcat 4.0 has been developed to meet pro-riders wildest expectations both in freestyle and in freestyle foil. 

The beauty of it, is that you can ride the Wildcat to explore your own limits the same way it allowed Balz to push further the limits of our sport.

Combining this shape with a thruster configuration converts the board into an accessible wave board.

Characteristics

  •

    Freestyle and freewave board recognised by the PWA.

    Exclusive construction and reinforcements to excel in freestyle foil.

    Central Deeptuttle box with a US-box adaptor.
    Slot box for a thruster set up to play in the waves.

  • Rails

    Thick and straight on the back for more slide and clean pops,
    thinner under the front foot for maximum grip in turns.

  • Volume

    Even distribution up to the rear foot to quickly get planing and
    to give more pop power.

  • Bottom shape

    Slight double concave at the front into a V at the back to facilitate sliding moves and to offer maximum manoeuvrability.

  • Tail outline

    Reduced width under the rear foot offering greater responsiveness and
    a better top speed.

  • Rocker

    Pretty straight at the back for optimised speed,
    raised at the front for versatility and comfort.

  • Compact shape

    Great reactivity of the board for power freestyle moves,
    incredible control in strong winds.
    Agile maneuvering on the foil. 

  • Footpad

    Very good grip, comfortable and excellent shocks absorption.

Equipment

  •  
     
     
  • Footstraps

    Deeptuttle (Dtt) at the centre and Slot box on the sides.

    Dtt for the foil (US-box fin adaptor included).
