RADICAL5’s have a hybrid core, achieving perfect harmony of board weight, performance and durability. A foam core is used on the toe-side in the longitudinal direction, providing a significant reduction in board weight. In the heel-side that is under more force and load, a robust wood core is used. Guaranteeing dynamic recovery force of the board, while retaining huge amounts of strength.

The innovative assembly of a unidirectional woven layer lengthwise and an additional diagonal layer (torsion layer) at a 45-degree-angle achieves considerably more recovery force, which is reflected in the increased jump performance. Still, the flex of the board is tuned so harmoniously that comfort and smooth ride are not negatively influenced.

The „Tucked-Under“ Edge has been cut off at a 45-degree-angle, as surfboards have been traditionally manufactured. This makes the board well-controllable, even in choppy conditions.

The additional Grabrails are absolutely soft, but still offer the best control for board-offs or one-footers. Thus, holding the board has become much easier. The Grabrails can easily be glued to the deck.

The asymmetrical rounder and shorter toeside outline increases control when riding toeside and provides increased comfort.

Wider Insert Positions make it easier to land. There are three different stance options possible – Small (50.4 cm), Normal (56.2 cm) and Wide (61.2 cm).
