Board Hatropina Custom Board "U-TOPIA WAVE 91" Quad/Twin

U-TOPIA: SHORT BEAST MODE!

CONCEPT OF U-TOPIA: Third generation of "new school-wave compact" boards derived from the Massive Wave V2. U-Topia is the solution for all types of waves and "Real World" European conditions. Board "stubby & loose" for a wave oriented towards jumps, tricks, sliding moves, and snappy cut-backs. Very fun in European conditions with soft and slow waves. Planing, fast, it allows quick turns on the waves. Particularly suitable for On-Shore conditions, it offers great control in chop. It absolutely does not disdain Cross-Off-Shore conditions. Extremely compact design, "super short" tail for quick reactivity and tight turns. The Board has a "carver-skate feeling", very free underfoot allowing effortless changes of direction and curves.  New Shape optimized to work in a wide range, it is a short all-round Board that works well in all conditions, and set-up (Quad-Twinzer)

SHAPE:

New Shape completely redesigned in 3D and executed with millimetric precision thanks to the use of the latest generation CNC-Machine. We worked a lot on this model, obtaining an absolutely harmonious, balanced, and super compact Board. We managed to taper the nose to have a non-bulky bow, which is not easy for ultra-compact boards.

Outline compact, parallel, and relatively narrow offers great maneuverability. The parallel edges offer less drag and provide ample lift for early planing, pop, aerials, and jumps.  Poppa Short Diamond Tail shortens the rear edge and angle on the deep V, quickly freeing the Board for tight and ultra-rapid rail-to-rail turns. Rocker fast, and V for early planing, Due to the compactness, the center of gravity is shifted towards Tail, this allows for more grip in long waves and extra pull in tight turns. leaving the front very free for high jumps even on small waves. Volume central and the flat stance area, inspired by wave surfing, give a lot of stability and ease of use despite the reduced size, this helps to overcome the foam during the non-planing phase and float-and-ride. Rails sharpened in the Tail area provide traction and speed creating lift-and-release, while the bow edges are soft and full facilitating comfort and optimizing progressive maneuvers.

Thanks to these new modifications, U-Topia is even more maneuverable, quickly and vertically climbing the wave easily adapting to different turn angles. The feeling is of having a Board of lower volume and size both underfoot and in the air. 

Configuration QUAD // //

Quad-mode: offers more drive, grip, and control in the waves. The four fins work on the shape keeping the nose low and the Board attached to the water. At the same time, the shallower depth of the two rear fins makes it easier to set the bottom at high speeds, which means you can push a lot during carving in fast side-shore or cross offshore conditions. 

 TWIN Configuration //

Twinzer-mode: the Board is looser, the lower drag and the power of the fins act further back. This lifts the nose, the Board reaches higher speed compared to the quad setup and has more looseness and quicker reactions in turns. The twin combination and the fast V tail offer great ability to set top turns both slashy and power-hook.
