Test 2019: Freeraceboards - features & details
If the acceleration puts a grin on your face with every gust, you know you're riding the right board. We'll tell you how to find it in the test.

From the outside, the differences between the concepts are often barely recognisable to the layman. A few centimetres shorter at the front, a few millimetres less V in the underwater hull and the loop plugs on deck moved a little towards the edge can turn a good-natured family coach into a real racing car - with all the advantages and disadvantages.

We compared 13 models during the test in South Africa and tell you what the shape details of the boards can tell you about the riding characteristics, which grades are decisive for your type of rider and how you can navigate your way to your personal test winner based on your personal requirements profile.

You can find the shape and equipment details in the picture gallery below. Click through!
