ULTRAKODE ULTRACORE
Introducing the all-new UltraKode in the lightest waveboard technology. The two smallest sizes (72, 76) are shapes by Mark and Jaeger Stone. The four largest sizes (86, 93, 99, 105) are designed by Dany Bruch and PWA Champion Philip Koster. The UltraKode 80 is a merger of the two groups.
DESCRIPTION:
Thruster, quad or twin, it’s the dream wave board by the Dream Wave Team, that weighs 400 to 500 grams lighter than a classic thruster.Comes with 4 x Starbox and one US box, as well as plugs to suit your fin set up.The new Starbox allows you to fit Slot Box fins in five seconds each, and remembers your last setting to get you on the water faster. It is also compatible with US box fins.The UltraKodes 80, 86, 93, 99 and 105 are supplied with a set of MFC TF thruster fins.The bigger models have a mono-concave with double concave in front of the fins and a flat Vee on the tail.The two smallest models (72 and 76) have a double concave running into a round Vee in the tail.Compared to the 2016 Kode Wave and the 2016 Quad, the all-new UltraKode has less tail kick and less nose scoop for higher top-speeds, quick planing and more control. When comparing the UltraKode’s outline to the 2016 Kode Wave, it is shorter with slightly more volume in the squash-tail.When comparing the UltraKode’s outline to the 2016 Quad, it is again much shorter, with a wider nose and shoulders.
TECHNOLOGY:
What is UltraCore? UltraCore is Starboard’s proprietary sandwich core material that’s 30% stronger, 40% stiffer and 10% lighter than conventional PVC sandwich cores. UltraCore allows Starboard to build boards up to 1.2 kg lighter than our 2016 models.The UltraKodes are available in our new incredibly light UltraCore Carbon construction which makes them as light or lighter than anything else out there. They’re built in our exclusive UltraCore sandwich and reinforced with Omega stringers and what we call Smart Carbon: putting the carbon smartly in the right places for an optimized combination of stiffness, flex and feel. The UltraKodes feature 10mm thick footpads with a new square grooving pattern that provides more grip and comfort over extended sessions.They also come with the new iteration of the Drake Deluxe straps, strong and comfortable with strap-size indicators for easy adjustments.
