Ronix Carbon Air Core 3 – Type 8:12 Skimmer Wakesurf Board

Description

A new responsive, thin profiled, skim outline masterpiece. A full-carbon construction with more drive and added snap while riding switch.

A NEW RESPONSIVE, THIN PROFILED, SKIM OUTLINE MASTERPIECE.

The skimmer of choice for the widest range of riders in the Ronix lineup. The Type 8:12 is quickly becoming a factory and team favorite. For the surfer looking to advance their riding and learn the fundamental tricks of skim style wake surfing. Shuv-its, three shuvs, or body varials are easy to learn on the Type 8:12 because of the parallel board outline. By increasing the width in the nose and tail, the shape of the board carries more top water speed and lands with a forgiving feel. Additionally, the overall rocker profile is low allowing for increased pocket speed meaning more saves of the wave and attempts at tricks. The Type 8:12 shape started in our 2023 Flyweight Pro construction. New for 2024, it gets the added benefits of our best-selling Carbon Air Core 3 layup. This includes increased rigidity for speed and stored energy for more pop. Kick your wake-surfing addiction up a notch.The best all-round, traditional-feeling skim in the line. A new take on a familiar skim feel that makes for a smooth transition into learning new tricks.

SKIMMER

A fast, responsive style of board where the riders position is centered with a more balanced body. These sharp rail, thin profiled boards react quicker for people that dont have a lot of time to waste. Preferred by surfers that like to have more feel with their board itself and not just on fins. They can break free easier for 360s on the water or shuvits off it. A more forgiving style of board when riding behind a steep wake because you typically ride this style of board at a shorter length (making it less likely to dunk the nose). Because of how speedy these models are you can get away with a shorter, lightweight length.

HYBRID

For riders that like a little bit of everything. They want to generate power through their bottom turns, but still be able to leave the waterline quickly and easily. A growing style of wakesurfing designed for bigger airs leaving the wake but can still lock in for a proper cutback.

SURF

Toss some buckets with some smooth, linked turns inspired by your favorite saltwater surfer. Traditional surf shapes have a thicker profile and a mellower rail/bevel allowing a rider to pivot a turn more from their back foot and are best ridden with either a deeper fin, or multiple fins. Riders usually apply more pressure on the back half of the board and generate more force through a turn. Still very capable of doing tricks on and off the water just with a fluid like feel.
