Description
Wainman Hawaii is proud to present another important series of boards, The Gambler 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.
The Gambler is a totally new and very modern, progressive shape, referring to last year'sr Wide model, however it is light years ahead of it. This shape was designed for everyday fun in all conditions ridden 4-5 inches shorter than your average classic board. With less length and more width this board is made for progressive and more floaty radical surfing even when the waves are not that great
Because of the 3D bottom shape, special channels in it and good amount of the rocker., this board is still very fast which means it is stable in higher speeds despite being apparently wider which is its advantage for the bottom end conditions both in the wave and wind aspect. This extra width gives this board quicker surf planing and catches more of the wave to surf it.
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.
Gambler 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.
Wainman Hawaii Gambler 5'7 x 20.5" Wide Surf Board:
Five-Seven 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.

Construction:
Construction of this board is a medium weight, durable full custom epoxy construction with hi density Styrofoam core and PVC foam double sandwich shell. Only finest fibreglass is used for this lamination and all the weight 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 quick to plane.
Fin Setup:
As the Gambler is intially made for kiting, this board comes with rear and front pads, 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 the Quad setup will let you turn quicker, edge better, but on the huge waves might not hold to tight in long turns.
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.
