ECS Drifter V Flex Fun Board

The ECS Drifter V Flex Fun Board gives you a board with the latest eco tech and fun performance. It features a wooden deck layer of sustainable eco Paulwonia wood. This is a fast growing plantation timber that is buoyant and ideal for surfboard construction. The deck uses a thin wood layer over a high density EPS foam core. This balance of foam and wood overcomes the problems normally encountered by epoxy boards. It greatly reduces the chatter and vibration and gives the board the board a solid good feel while still maintaining the EPS pop and performance. High tech doesn’t stop there. To give strength carbon is used on the rails creating a parabolic stringer effect. This means that the board flexes into the curve of the wave more effectively so you get high performance power.

Performance Design

The board shape is a mix of mini-mal reduced in length with a tucked in tail. Perfect for your Fun board. The EPS core and Paulwonia is super buoyant so the Drifter goes great in small to tiny waves. You get a great mix of float along with mini-mal glide maximising the small wave power. To this the tucked in pin tail gives you bite. So when you get a wave with power you can lean back and the tail will hold allowing you to carve. The bottom shape of the single to double concave channels the wave power to the tail where the double concave acts like a vee. So you can get the board up on rail rather than surfing flat. This turns your surfing from flat without turns to high performance rail to rail surfing.

This bottom shape also works great for bigger waves and you’ll find the Drifter performs great in up to head high waves. All these features give you versatility to surf the board across the entire range of waves you normally find so you only need one board. If you need a Step Up for bigger waves the Drifter also comes in Step Up sizes. Alternatively if you’re a Beginner surfer who’s wanting to progress your surfing the smaller Drifter models are great. They give you the good paddling you’re used to in your mini-mal, with the high performance and maneuverability of a shortboard.
