The freeride boards in the upcoming surf issue 5-2025 present probably the widest range of options, from glide climbers to extremely ambitious hobby riders. Some boards are equipped with a variety of footstrap options to suit every area of use. Others, however, such as the Naish, have dispensed with the "race" position, while the Severne Fox lacks the internal position for planing riders. We have paid particular attention to these and many other details that you should be aware of before making a purchase.
