The foil-forward trim is designed to enable efficient pumping behaviour, while the narrower outline gives the board a playful turning ability. "The take-off"the manufacturer promises, The "take-off" is early and controlled - supported by the slightly rounded, concave nose and tail area. Landings are also correspondingly soft. The board is therefore aimed at advanced users who value a versatile setup and comfortable riding behaviour."

This combination of materials should ensure a balanced ratio of weight, rigidity and durability - at an attractive price of 1349 euros. The Norden Futurama Fusion Board is currently available in one size - 6'0'' x 22'' with a volume of 95 litres. However, further sizes are being planned.
