Design Vision
The ultra-versatile Escape is our high-performance directional made for strapless freestyle riders that like to spice things up with some wave action. Built with extremely durable quality, the noseless design has short rails which results in high agility and dynamic riding characteristics, perfect for rotations and tight cutbacks.
The Escape is light with great flex but fantastic durability to preserve its key performance features. The innovative full layer of 3mm high density PVC sandwich along with a carbon stringer on the bottom give an incredible surf feel without compromising on durability. This robust construction is very light, yet insanely sturdy, even when ridden extensively.
The short rails minimise drag while optimising the swing weight making rotations much easier for the rider. Once popped out of the water, small impulses are enough to initiate manoeuvres. Progressing strapless freestyle riders will improve rapidly and you’ll have plenty of grip, even in sketchy landings. Thruster fins come included allowing the Escape to perform well in small to mid-sized waves.
Unleash the Escape and with its snappy direct feel and become a ruler of the sea.
