The RRD Trigger on land:
At 219 centimetres long and 63 cm wide, the board is not extremely short, but slightly narrower than other freestyle shapes. A flat rocker should ensure high top speed, the tail is narrow, which should support carving for Shaka & Co. The rear strap is double-bolted and the pads are larger and thicker than average.
On the water:
The fact that you can pull the freestyle trigger with the RRD Trigger is also due to the flat rocker and the 22 mm standard fin - these ensure pleasantly little resistance when planing and powerful acceleration. The RRD frees up quickly and allows power moves even at the lower wind limit.
"The Trigger has a large target group: it doesn't restrict experts, but it's not too extreme for freestyle beginners either."
In chop, there are boards that are a little softer, but overall the control is impeccable, especially considering the good speed potential. The combination of speed and free riding feel makes for a very good pop. The board also sets no limits for sliding manoeuvres, but a little more pressure is required to push the fin into the next rotation. Trick riders under 80 kilos are better off with a slightly smaller fin - or choose a smaller trigger.
Surf summary of the RRD Trigger:
The RRD Trigger convinces as a fast, planing board with plenty of pop for all power moves, but is also not too extreme for freestyle newcomers to learn classics like Spock and Flaka.
