Children grow and improve so quickly. That’s why we developed
the Ripper to be the board that will grow with them. From first
steps to planing gybes, the Ripper will be their perfect partner
for years to come.
We wanted to start with a great foundation; a shape that would
provide safety and stability in the early stages, yet limitless
performance as our young rippers progress. That’s why we
chose to base the Ripper on our super successful Gecko 112.
The Gecko is renowned for its stability and easy planing, so with
some important child specific adjustments, the Ripper was born!
A softdeck protects fragile skin from knocks and scrapes, whilst
child specific footstrap options make getting into the straps
a much easier affair. Of course, there are also some more
dedicated options to grow into, or in case mum or dad take the
Ripper for a test ride or two!
Supplying the board with two fins (a 30cm and 39cm) for the
rear and centre box, gives plenty of options to help with stability
and non-planing performance. Once ready to plane, simply
remove the middle fin and replace it with the provided box cover.
Whether standing on a board for the first time or carving gybes
better than their parents, the Ripper is the gift that will keep
giving, year after year!
