Description

Wainman Hawaii is proud to present another important series of boards, The Passport 2012 Wide Surf Boards. With awesome graphics and top-of-the-line construction, some may be tempted to hang them on the wall. But, make no mistake; these boards were made to rip. We think you will find these boards to be the perfect recipe for fun, whether you are kickin it in the flats or taking on serious swells.

 

This board was designed to be a “World Traveller’s” first choice – a great all-round surf / kitesurf board that you can take with you for any trip and paddle surf the waves with it or surf them with the KITE when the wind picks up!

 

The Wainman Passport 2012 had a wide, new school shape and so it is usually ridden 4-5 inches shorter than your normal short board and 3/4 to an inch wider. The lower rocker line also makes the Passport quicker to plane both when it comes to small waves or lighter wind.

This board is ideal in low wind conditions, serving you well when the conditions are perfect and in all those average days while all other dudes are complaining you will be charging and make them jealous!

Turning is pure fun because of the perfect outline, step-shaped tail and 3D bottom. This surfboard is meant for strapless riding. It is very good for strapless jumping and strapless fun and is very light but strong enough to survive the overloads that occur everyday while charging.

 

The lightweight construction of the Wainman Passport also allows for quick planing and superior overall response on the water. You can use this surfboard everywhere you want. You will be super happy on flat water as it will make you ride when everybody is still in the bar, and you will be stoked surfing on waves without the kite if the wind is not there yet. When the wind comes in, you will be the rock star as well and so this is a genesis of the name Passport – take only this one with you on a trip and you will be stoked!

 

Construction:

Construction of this board is a lightweight full custom epoxy construction with hi density Styrofoam core and PVC foam double sandwich shell. Only the finest fibreglass is used for this lamination and all the width in the board is its strength, without any putties or fillers. Boards are very strong but still light enough to have lots of fun strapless and to plane quick and feel the surf riding “noise” well.

 

Fin Setup:

As the Passport is intially made for strapless riding, this board comes only with rear pad, bag and 5 fins, so you can ride it with 2 settings: Thruster or Quad - Thruster will make the radius of the turns a bit longer and will hold in the turn better while Quad will let you turn quicker, edge better, but on the huge waves might not hold to tight in long turns.

 

Although this board doesn’t come with straps, Wainman had left 2 inserts in each position so if the waves are really big riders, can attach them to go through the break. Totally new in the industry is the straps inserts that have a nice offset pre-positioned inserts so every rider can offset their stance according to their natural preference.

 

Waveriding:
When the water starts to roll and become 3D, it is important to have the right tool. Wainman Hawaii Surf Boards are designed in style that will make you stand out on the water and with an attention to detail that will help you take your riding to the next level.

 

Carving:
When the waves are not up, you can stilll use the power of the wind and ulitimate carving shape of this surf board to your advantage. Jibing, speeding, pointing upwind – it is all great fun and freeriding starts to take on a new meaning when one of these Surf Boards is between you and the water.

 

Strapless Fun:
Generally kitesurfers are used to having straps that attach you to the board. Well it is no longer that simple and obvious. Riding strapless is just unbelievable fun. Standing freely on the board that is moving very fast brings much more emotions to the whole aspect of riding. The challenge of just riding and cruising make it so different and challenging that everybody should try it. The carving feeling when everything relies on the riders position and balance is multiplied by 10. Pure fun.

 

Surfing:
When the wind is dead and the waters are moving and rolling, there is nothing better than just paddling those waves to surf them. You can use your Wainman Hawaii Surf board to do so and this will be a great experience.

 

Wainman Surfboard Sizing:

So that rider weight and varied conditions are covered there are different sizes of Surf Boards in the Wainman Hawaii line. You know your conditions best; but, in the spirit of keeping the drama out of choosing the right board, talk to those who are already riding or call us anytime.

 

Passport Wide Surf Series:
This is the series of 2 boards that have wider proportions. These fat-bottomed boards are super stable in turns and will plane quickly as you catch the wave or stay the course within the wind gaps. You will be happiest when using these boards in slower waves or in gusty winds. This series is made of 3 sizes of boards.

Five-Eight is a great allround thruster board intended for medium sized riders. Its shape is very compact and balanced. This is a great board for use with straps whenever there are waves.

Custom Epoxy Construction:
Wainman Hawaii Surf Boards are produced with the most modern and advanced technology in the surfing industry. The super light Styrofoam core is coated with multiple layers of devinicell foam and then laminated using custom, handcrafted technology. Basically, the Wainman Hawaii Surf Boards will give you the attention to detail and high-end touches of a custom board for a production board price. We could have cut corners, but we like the stoke of riding too much to produce a sub-par board.

 

Weight:
Wainman Hawaii Surf Boards are very light, yet strong enough to survive the overloads that occur everyday while surfing waves or riding in the slop. The lightweight construction allows for quick planing and superior overall response on the water.

 

Stiffness:
Because Wainman use epoxy resin, the total stiffness of the board is increased. In Wainman's testing around the world, they found that stiffer boards plane much quicker and need less repairs.

 

Strap Mounting:
Each Wainman Hawaii Surf Board is equipped with multiple position strap inserts that allow you to mix and match strap positions to meet your needs.
