Wayne Rich - Wildcard 3 - NFT - Single Fin

Turn a losing hand into a winning hand with the Wildcard. The Special Projects Division Wildcard 3 is an updated version of Waynes Rich’s classic shape. Still a great noserider and proficient turner, the board maintains many of the attributes that helped Wayne win three Malibu Club contests, including a full template with a wide nose and wide crescent tail.

The crescent tail, initially requested by Joel Tudor, allows water to flow over and out the center of the board’s tail, pushing the tail down and creating lift in the board’s nose. Slight updates to the board's nose concave also assist in noseriding. A rolled bottom in the back third of the board increases control and turn initiation.

If you are looking for a longboard to make you surf, more, and better the Wildcard 3 is for you. Like a Wildcard it can turn a losing hand, or small piddly, waves into something special, but don't take our word for it, try a Wildcard 3 for yourself and see the instant effects it has on your surfing enjoyment.

Construction - Natural Fiber Technology (NFT)

Natural Fiber Technology is not only made with natural composite reinforcements but it has an amazing natural feel. Half of the reinforcement by volume on these boards is made from naturally derived fiber such as flax and hemp. The other half is composed of E glass and the whole lot is layered up and vacuum bagged under pressure to maximize the bond and minimize any excess resin, allowing for an incredible strength-to-weight ratio. The natural fiber not only replaces a good chunk of what would otherwise be fiberglass but also improves dampening for a predictable, natural response. There is an elegance to the simple aesthetic of the layup that is matched only by its ride.

• FUSED CELL EPS CORE (DUAL-CORE W/PU RAILS) // Closed cell EPS core provides more response + Flotation
• CLEAR HD-EPOXY RESIN // Epoxy resin with high thermo-mechanical performances
• HIGH QUALITY E-GLASS FIBERGLASS // E-glass is the industry standard reinforcement as it has the most reliable strength and performance of all surf glass variations.
• NATURAL FIBER REINFORCMENT // Renewable, reliable, resilient, and real smooth.

Fins included: None.
