Wayne Rich - Wildcard 3 - NFT - Single Fin - Longboard

Turn a losing hand into a winning hand with the Wildcard. The Special Projects Division Wildcard 3 is an updated version of Wayne Rich's classic shape. Still an excellent noserider and a skilled turner, with many of the features that helped Wayne win three Malibu Club contests, including a full template with a wide nose and a wide crescent tail.

The crescent tail, once requested by Joel Tudor, allows water to flow over and out of the center of the tail, pushing the tail down and creating lift in the board's nose. The slight adjustments to the nose concave also aid in noseriding. A rolled bottom in the back third of the board increases control and makes initiating turns easier.

If you're looking for a longboard that will help you surf more and better, the Wildcard 3 is for you. Like a wildcard, it turns a losing hand – or small, miserable waves – into something special. Try a Wildcard 3 yourself and notice the immediate effect on your surfing enjoyment.

Construction - Natural Fiber Technology (NFT)

Natural Fiber Technology is not only made with natural composite reinforcements, it also feels incredibly natural. Half of the reinforcement by volume in these boards consists of natural fibers such as flax and hemp. The other half consists of E-glass, and the entire assembly is layered and vacuum bagged under pressure to maximize adhesion and minimize excess resin. This results in an impressive strength-to-weight ratio. The natural fiber not only replaces a significant portion of what would otherwise be fiberglass but also dampens better, ensuring a predictable, natural response. The simple appearance of the lay-up is as elegant as the way the board surfs.

• FUSED CELL EPS CORE (DUAL-CORE WITH PU RAILS) // Closed cell EPS core provides more response and buoyancy
• CLEAR HD-EPOXY RESIN // Epoxy resin with high thermo-mechanical performance
• HIGH QUALITY E-GLASS FIBERGLASS // E-glass is the industry standard for reinforcement, offering the most reliable strength and performance of all surf glass variants.
• NATURAL FIBER REINFORCEMENT // Renewable, reliable, resilient, and wonderfully smooth.

Fin(s) included: None.
