The Real Deal!

DA CURVE TE: The Perfect Combo

A completely new range of boards has been gener-ated for the Da Curve’s. New outlines, new rocker lines and rail shapes are just the beginning of this down the line destroyer. We have learned that a single or twin fin setup work on the same shape, so we will have both options available- single or twin! Our team has been instrumental in getting these boards to where they are now. Top of the line performance, top of the podium results- watch out.

FACTSTeam Edition Twin Fin design- 2 years of •development

New Rocker line Single to Double Concave •with Vee out the back

New Outline promotes early planing •Wider Nose and more compact package •Quicker turning- more grip, more drive and •control on the wave

Heel cushions in pads for more comfort •Wider stance options •Team Edition: More flex, which is better for •waveriding

Fabien Vollenweider (Tabou Shaper) comments:“We went all out and started over completely for the Da Curves. Wave riding is one of my favorite things to do and we had a lot of fun developing these boards over the last 2 years. We wanted to make sure we had it perfect!”

POCKET : Rock Solid

With the success of last years Pocket Wave, we have chosen to keep this board the same. We put in so much time and energy to achieve perfection that it only makes sense to stand behind our efforts. This years Pocket Wave is a result of 4 years of development- it is a solid performer.New in 2010 is the T-Lab X-Wave Fin line. We shortened for better manoeuvrability, but we kept the same planning and accerleration ability from last year fins!

Fabien Vollenweider (Tabou Shaper) comments:“When you work so hard to make a design, you learn a lot. Last year, the Pocket wave was exactly what we wanted out of this range and it remains the same today- a perfect mix for whatever the conditions give you.”

The board many of you have been waiting for has arrived. We have taken the blazing fast Manta shapes and the superb Rocket LTD lay up and combined them into one board. The Manta FR.

If you are looking for ultimate speed and ease of use, you just found it. The Manta FR has the same rocker line as the race proven Manta. This guarantees the speed while the footstrap positions give you options to go fur-ther in to the center of the board for easier control and turning. You can set the board up however you like - go blazing fast in the flat water with your straps outboard or put them in for more radical conditions. A board with this many features allows you to dial in the perfect setting for what you need.

The outline remains the same as the Manta, construction is the same as the Rocket LTD and the graphics take on a stealth silver look. A G-10 fin is included from the T-Lab Factory- tested and ready to break all limits. Get your hands on the Manta FR today!

Thomas and Antony have been using very small singe fins and had a hard time getting planning and staying up wind- we put two fins in there and suddenly we got some power to plane.
