The Flow FW boards are designed for riders seeking a sporty, performance‑driven Freewave board with a very direct connection to the foil. The shape combines precise control with high versatility while remaining predictable even in challenging conditions.
The Flow FW 85 Carbon is clearly focused on performance and aimed at riders who prefer a compact board for wave and freestyle sessions. It delivers a very direct ride feel while maintaining controlled and confidence‑inspiring handling.
The Flow FW 85 Carbon measures 5’2 in length, has a volume of 85 litres, a width of 24 1/2′, a thickness of 4 11/16′, and a weight of 6.3 kg. The recommended rider weight range is 70–100 kg.
The drop‑deck geometry with a higher front‑foot position creates a very direct lever onto the foil. Combined with the pronounced front‑deck concave, this results in a secure stance that offers excellent control during aggressive turns, pumping movements, and landings.
The Tear‑Drop Outline maintains stability under the front foot, while the narrow tail section ensures clean release and quick direction changes. Straight rails with a rounder nose reduce wind resistance and keep handling calm and controlled in gusty conditions.
The balanced volume distribution with added volume in the tail allows riders to load the back foot without over‑submerging the board. This makes the Flow FW 85 surprisingly controlled during jumps and freestyle manoeuvres.
The flat, clean hull with a slightly squared pintail supports fast planing and a direct pop‑up. A subtle rocker helps with touchdowns and keeps the board manageable even when conditions become technical.
