CONTOURED DECK SHAPE
The Rio’s contoured deck shape makes it the easiest windsurf board in the world to get into the footstraps. As riders progress and shift back on the board, gaining more speed and power in the sail, their feet naturally align with the inboard footstrap positions.
UNIQUE LONG TAIL DESIGN
With additional area behind the fin box, the Rio boards not only plane earlier but also maintain stability during the transition onto the plane. There’s no need to struggle with the tricky technique of overcoming the initial hump. This unique feature allows riders to effortlessly and magically achieve planing without a steep learning curve. The board accelerates and propels forward, naturally placing the rider in the perfect planing position.
BAT WINGS
The wider section of the tail, known as Bat Wings, provides improved glide, directional traction, and parallel lines. This feature, first introduced in the Phantoms, also enhances planing power.
FULL EVA DECK
The Rio boasts a large, soft EVA grip on the deck, ensuring comfort and safety. Enjoy a secure grip without worrying about cuts or rashes. The nose area, where the boom tends to drag, is free of EVA. The Rio boards feature multiple footstrap insert positions to cater to all levels of sailing, from beginners to intermediates and advanced riders. They’re also equipped with the latest generation of matching Drake footstraps, featuring size indicator tabs for easy adjustments.
SHALLOW 41
The Rios have a Drake Shallow fin, delivering optimal power and directional traction in a compact design. This fin is perfect for learning and progression.
