The Wainman Joke is a brand new addition to
the Wainman Hawaii twin tip board line-up for the wakestyle
freerider. Designed to provide the serious rider with a blend
of performance and ease of use no matter if they are hitting
sliders, carving waves or even charging in the flats.
it is also great all-round board for intermediate
riders. The most revolutionary board in Wainman Hawaii range
and probably the most innovative on the market, on the first
look gives you the thought of a wakestyle / newschool board
and though their inspiration in designing this board, was
to make your riding even better, in the end we have also perfect
tool for advanced / intermediate amateurs who want to progress.
The unique 3D bottom shape provides stability
and enables the rider to go big with amazingly comfortable
and forgiving landings. The combination of performance characteristics
which include superb upwind performance, massive pop, insane
turns and stability make the Joke a board a serious contender.
Fast riding, insane pop, finless riding and
the smoothest landing in the industry. These features together
with pretty big rocker gives direct feel and top performance.
The Wainman Joke is supplied with shorter
4cm fins, new thermo foam pads and straps, board bag, and
tool bag.
Wainman Jokes are available in 3 sizes:
Dimensions:
134 x 40,5 cm, 138 x 41,5 cm, 142 x 42,5 cm
Features:
2 sets of inserts for narrow or wider stance
Construction core combination of ultralight
Airex foam, high quality prelaminated wood centre core,
amongst carbon and fiberglass multiple layers
Each board is laminated manually, layer
after layer, in super clean factory conditions
Because of the combination of materials
used, precise lamination process, and precisely designed
number of layers, each Blunt Board has the right balance
between flexibility, stiffness and strength.
The rails of the Joke boards are made with
a special elastic silicone resin that absorbes any impact
of the board in case it touches the rider. It also increases
the endurance of the board by not limiting the engineered
flex of the board, which is the case while using stiffer
material such as ABS.

Core:
Wainman Joke boards are manufactured in Europe, and made in
the old European style of mixing good materials together.
The core of the Blunt is a combination of ultralight Airex
foam, high quality prelaminated wood centre core with carbon
and fibreglass multiple layers.
Parts for each single board are cut and shaped
by the CNC machines. They are laminated together and every
board is fully handcrafted by factory professionals.
Lamination Process:
To provide maximum strength and durability and keep the total
weight very low, the lamination process needs to be very precise.
Each board is laminated manually, layer after layer, in super
clean factory conditions. To achieve the best characteristics
of the laminate, Wainman are using only the most advanced
epoxy resins with slow hardeners which provide the most elastic
durability of the laminated coats. The long drying process
of each board takes place in the special vacuum sealed 3D
mold.
Flex:
Joke Boards have the right balance between flexibility, stiffness
and strength. The interrelation between these factors has
a very big influence on the general feel of the board and
how it forgives when overpowered or how it acts when underpowered.
With it's upwind ability and how it turns, along with its
general durability against impacts and forces, the Blunt board
appears to have all issues figured out.
Strength:
To achieve extra lengthwise strength in our boards, Wainman
have looked towards science and technology. Instead of overbuilding
boards and making them like heavy snowboards, they gave them
a special sidecut profile - the full concave shape all the
way down the boards length. This, by the nature of physics
adds superior strength to the boards without the need to over
laminate them with heavy extra glass layers. That is why Blunt
boards can be light yet strong at the same time.
Rails:
The rails of the Joke boards are made with a special elastic
silicone resin, that absorbs any impact of the board in case
it touches the rider. It also increases the endurance of the
board by not limiting the engineered flex of the board, which
is the case when using stiffer material such as ABS.
