Transcend Platinum

Why drastically change a shape that is loved by most everyone? We didn’t, we just made it better. Last year’s Transcend brought a new fin technology that changed the way the board bites the water on edge. This engineering breakthrough enables you to make the molded fins longer by bolting on extensions which changes the way the board releases from the wake. For the new 2009 Transcend, we have perfected this design. The molded fins have been sharpened to reduce drag and hold a stronger edge. We also widened the board by a quarter inch adding surface area for more speed and increased pop off the wake. We took our center spine technology and ran with it. This board has the deepest center spine that runs the complete length of the board. The spine not only breaks the water to stomp landings, but creates an edge-to-edge response that is lightning fast. The result is a surfy smooth feel that is very poppy off the wake and is the softest landing Transcend ever. During the testing process, Andrew was so excited about the new design, he tried to steal the prototype several times. When you love a shape as much as Andrew, and the rest of the team, they get creative on making it disappear. Ride it and see for yourself.

-All new molds for 09, 2-time World Champion Andrew Adkison wanted to 3 things; softer landings, more pop and a little more speed.
-The Transcend now has the deepest center spine which runs full length of the board.
-Center spine not only breaks the water to stomp landings, but creates and edge to edge response that is lightening fast.
-Additional channels on either side of the spine maintain a stable and predictable ride.
-¼” wider than last year adding surface area for increased pop.
-Constructed with a subtle 3 stage rocker and a small flat spot for huge wake-to-wake pop.
-CWB innovative fin extensions allow you to increase the length of the fin by bolting on extensions.
-Fin extensions also allow rider to set the board up for toe or heel side performance.
-Molded fins are sharper to reduce drag and hold a stronger edge.
-Platinum version comes with two sets of fin extensions, 1.5” & 2.5”, foam version comes with the 2.5” extensions.
