Join usTo sustain the racer's concentration on upholding speed throughout the course, subtle adjustments have been made to all outlines to enhance control even in rough conditions. Notably, the widest point of the board has been shifted closer to the nose while maintaining the same tail width. This refinement flattens the outline curve, significantly improving control on straight lines and allowing to approach gybes with greater speed.
The bottom shape features a mono concave beneath the nose that transitions into a consistent V shape from underneath the mast track to the back foot. This configuration aids in sustaining speed and direction even when facing challenging choppy conditions.
In the footstraps area, deck thickness has been reduced to re-balance front and back foot positions. With a new setup, the front foot will feel less "loose" in rough conditions. Alongside this, the slight increase in rail thickness in the nose area boosts the early planing capability of the RS design and improves control during gybes.
While these boards offer outstanding slalom performance, we have also incorporated Exocet's DNA by integrating DDSA (double-density shock absorbers), which provide much-needed comfort and control, vital elements for both PWA races and long-distance sailing.
Notably, the RS 58 boasts a distinct shape within the RS range, drawing inspiration from the renowned Exocet Turboboost 58. The hull plan has been thoughtfully reimagined and updated, involving adjustments to the outline and volume distribution. Tail cutouts have been omitted, prioritizing control over release during turbulent small sail heats. Overall, this board is an ideal choice for high-wind conditions, whether it's on flat water or in challenging environments, providing unparalleled comfort and confidence.
Product highlights
Carbon construction
The lightest designs possible. Carbon also enhances stiffness and responsiveness in the board, making it an ideal choice to seamlessly blend top-notch performance with minimal weight
PWA slalom design
The design has undergone rigorous testing and fine-tuning to ensure it meets the demanding conditions faced by riders during PWA events
Top speed and control
The RS V5 Slalom boards are specifically engineered for advanced to expert riders and deliver exceptional speed, control, and responsiveness, allowing riders to push their limits
Wide wind range
With their expertly crafted designs, RS Slalom boards are finely tuned to deliver optimal performance and control within their designated wind ranges
Features
Carbon Integra Construction
Carbon Integra is crafted by blending two distinct fabrics. The inherent robustness and rigidity of carbon fibers permit a reduction in fiber quantity, resulting in weight savings. Integra, hailing from the same category as Kevlar, proves especially effective against pin-point damage
Outline
Board rails, outline, and scoop have been meticulously tweaked to push the speed further but without sacrificing comfort and control
Volume distribution
Volume is distributed to see the board maintaining its balance through lulls and gybes
Pinched Tail
The pinched tail ensures control at maximum speed and smooth-flowing gybes
Tail cut-outs
To reduce drag and improve planing and acceleration, RS designs feature tail cutaways
Double Density Shock Absorbers (DDSA)
Positioned beneath the rider's feet when secured in the footstraps, the shock absorbers offer heightened comfort during challenging conditions and landings from jumps. The combination of triple layer footpad and DDSA minimizes strain on the rider's body, particularly during some heavier landings, and enhances overall comfort
