Nico Hibdidge: “We wanted something better than our customs—powerful and compact for ultimate control in the air and on landings, balancing speed, comfort in chop, and explosive pop when needed. Inspired by the rails and volume flow of our Custom Quads and latest Nitro 2, the Air 7 fits into the smallest ramps, allowing more vertical takeoffs in less space. The strap spread is slightly narrower, and the back is for better connection and pop. The mast track is moved back to balance the new, more compact shapes. Larger sizes are tuned for lighter winds and calmer waters, with more planing and acceleration. Smaller sizes focus on control in choppy conditions with smaller sails. Development took three years, from harbor to open ocean, with countless trials. The final range feels right across all conditions and will appeal to more than just freestyle riders.”
Antoine Albert: “The new deck is more comfortable, letting me ride longer and land with more confidence. The faster I go, the easier the moves feel. My Air 86 is the best freestyle board I’ve ever had—playful, wave-board-comfy in chop, super-fast on flat water, with insane pop for doubles and precise fin placement for max grip.”
Nico Akgazciyan: “The new boards are very easy to handle, with noticeably better comfort underfoot. Overall, the sensations are very good and very positive. Adaptation is instant, precisely what I’m looking for in a Freestyle board.”
Carbon Monocoque & full S-Glass hull construction.
Fused Cell Core. Goya boards come with a Fused Cell Core made from EPS. Fused Cell Expanded Polystyrene is a high quality, low weight, rigid, closed cell foam used in advanced modern production boardmaking.
Hyper Skin HD. The entire board is covered in Hyper Skin HD. Hyper Skin is Goya’s proprietary High Density Foam Sandwich, delivering an immensely rigid structure at an extremely light weight. Covering deck, rails and bottom in it, gives Goya Pro boards their incomparable flex and longevity. A third stronger, stiffer and lighter than conventional boards.
Biaxial Carbon & Unidirectional Carbon. Extensive patches of biaxial carbon connect the peak loads of your feet to the rest of the deck, distributing the forces resulting from jumping and waveriding evenly. Additionally, a long and wide deck carbon patch acts as a superior backbone, making you board stiffer and eliminating distortions.
Full S-Glass Hull. S-Glass covers the board 360°. S-Glass provides higher strength and elasticity compared to standard glass, while maintaining more flex than Carbon. Flex is a super important secret to an outstanding Wave board. A full Carbon Wave board would be too stiff to deliver the agility required by radical modern wavesailing. We use a highest quality full S-Glass hull in combination with a highest quality Carbon stance monocoque and core axis reinforcement to meticulously control the flex in our boards. Controlling this flex is a key to what makes Goya Pro Wave boards special and inimitable.
Dual Density Pads, redesigned from the ground up, provide better grip and comfort. A new layout and optimized dual-density blend means you have the right support and cushioning where you need it whilst saving weight and minimizing drag. The new patterns are angled in the right direction to give you maximum grip and connection to the board.
