Description
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:
130 x 39,5 cm, 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.
Construction:
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.
