Born from wakeskates, made to press.
The Tao charges hard just like Daniel! Built to go big while still being able to flex out any nose press thanks to the Hotbox technology. We CNC the top of the core to make the raised wakeskate centre of the board, this gives stiffness underfoot so you can go big while allowing the tips to flex where you need it. Daniel wanted to keep it simple on the base with minimal channeling to keep things hang up free on features, while still being fast on the water.
Benefits
LOOSE & LOCKED IN
Simple and smooth single concave running through the center of the board to concave with edge channels at the tips.
HOTBOX TECHNOLOGY
The lowered center “wakeskate” allows you to sink into the board for a more direct feel while the thickened rail keeps everything strong. Where your bindings mount, there is a mellow cant to the board that sits 2-3mm lower than the top sheet, creating an unreal planted feeling.
WOOD CORE
Using profiled paulownia wood from tip to tail for trusted stability and strength. All LF profiled cores are designed to give a solid feel between the feet and flexing on the tip and tail. As the core profiles towards the tip and tail the profile thins out to create more flex.
4-UP FLEXBAR INSERTS
Optimized for Liquid Force 6X/6R Bindings. While remaining compatible with all bindings featuring a 6" mounting spread.
