Pride Tristan Roberts Realest SDC Radial Flex Bat Tail PP Bodyboard

$599.95 AUD

The Realest is Tristan Roberts' (2019 & 2022 back-to-back World Champion) Pro-Model. Tristan Roberts has been riding for Pride Bodyboards since 2012 and has achieved remarkable success while riding the Realest.

The Realest is a pure-bred, fairly straight, prone template, featuring an additional thickness for increased volume and a wider outline compared to most pro-models in our range. This board is ideal if you're seeking a rocket-like speed that still provides buoyancy in small to medium conditions.

    Understanding this bodyboard's technology

    Kinetic Bodyboard information at Inverted Bodyboarding
    1.9lb Kinetic PP (Indonesia)
    Lightweight fusion foam compressed at 1.9lb offering instant recoil, enhanced stiffness and compression strength. This foam is 100% waterproof and ideal in mild to warm temperatures.
    Radial Flex

    Radial Flex
    Pride have developed the Dynamic Arc® technology. Constructed from a single beam of lightweight, high-tensile Divinycell structural foam, the Dynamic Arc® has been configured to disperse the structural load along its vertical surface, as well as enabling instant transfer from compression load to projection.
    Varial Mesh

    Varial Mesh
    Varial Mesh technology consists in a double layer of mesh, right where you need it most, further enhancing projection thanks to the tension it creates and reducing elbow creases. A first layer is laminated outside the Radial Flex Dynamic Arc®, between the deck & the core of your bodyboard. A second layer is laminated between the core and the slick, on the whole surface of the slick.
    CFT Stringer INformation at INverted Bodyboarding Carbon Fibre/ CFT Stringer
    Lightweight filament wound carbon composite rod offering rigidity and durability.
    55 45 Rail information at Inverted Bodyboarding
    55/45 Rails
    This rail setup leaves less of your rail in the water and offers the rider less contact with the water and therefore better drive and speed throughout all conditions.
    single to double concave bodyboards
    Single to Double Concave

    Some very basic fluid mechanics principles have been adapted to our case by our Pride Lab engineers. “When the water flow goes from a bigger section to a smaller section, the flow speed decreases and the pressure increases. “Using this principle as an analogy to what happens below our boards (if water is coming from both side of the board), if the perimeter of the concave narrows, water will encounter resistance at the end of the concave creating a pressure which push up the board creating more lift. As a result, having a concave will add a greater sense of lift. Which also means more speed in smaller conditions." The Double Concave is coupled with the classic deep Hull channels.
    Surlyn plastic bodyboarding information at INverted
    DuPont Surlyn Slick
    Surlyn plastic is thin and durable making it the most popular top end slick. Surlyn plastic will bend and stretch before it creases or snaps. This is a must have for intermediate through to advanced riders.
    Wave core PE deck skin on a bodyboard
    Wavecushion 8lb NXLPE (Indo) Decking
    Wavecushion decking is a 8lb decking foam. Much like the PE core, the PE decking is soft and flexible. Unlike the PE core, PE decking is used on all top end boards as for the flex and softness which allows riders to create a foam memory. Despite being soft and flexible PE is still extraordinarily durable.
    Bat Tail Bodyboard information at Inverted Bodyboarding

    Bat Tail
    Bat tail bodyboards are less curved in their profile, have a much wider finish and employ a ‘W’ looking tail. The overall idea of this concept is to provide more surface area to land on, more release through the tail shape and more speed through the emphasised hull. These tails can be a lot harder to control however, as for the limited hull area.

    Contour Information at Inverted Bodyboarding
    Contours
    The contours are the slight indents in the deck of a bodyboard. Their job is to help you lock in to the board as best as possible.
    Mesh information at Inverted Bodyboarding
    Mesh
    Mesh is a diamond shaped wire like plastic that runs under the slick of a bodyboard. Mesh creates a durable reinforcement between the bodyboards slick and the core making it stiffer, stronger and less likely to crease.
    Nose bulb information at Inverted bodyboarding
    Nose Bulbs
    Nose bulbs are a slightly raised area of foam on the nose of the board which create a comfortable spot to grip the nose.
    CNC Shaping information at Inverted Bodyboarding
    CNC Shaping
    Short for “computer numerical control”, CNC machines allow shapers to cut boards perfectly to the mm. CNC machines offer the sharpest possible finish to bodyboard manufacturing.
    Indonesia bodyboard manufacturing information at Inverted Bodyboarding
    Manufacturing Country: Indonesia/ Broady
    The Broady bodyboard factory started in New Zealand in the 80’s but relocated to Indonesia in the early 2000’s. With two of the industries leading shapers at the helm, the Broady Factory uses CNC shaping, buzztech heat lamination and purpose built Aku Shaping in order to produce high performance bodyboards for most of the world’s leading brands.
