Magic Ride
Improved Magic
Since its dawn this line featured a magic combination of ease, stability and good performance. The second generation featured more life and agility. Now, the all-new 3rd generation is here! The shape adjustments make it significantly easier to control at speed and through the chop.
Consequently, these boards ride smoother and gybe more easily and willingly into and through turns. On the water the boards surprise you with a sporty and energetic character which is incredibly easy to handle. The improved magic of these boards pushes the performance and fun factor to the next level.
What our riders say
Greta Marchegger: “Everybody loves the Magic Ride including me! There is no better option for cruising around and having fun. The new PRO Edition boards are also working great to start foiling with the new foil powerbox.”
Robby Swift: “I have taught many people how to water start and jibe on the Magic Ride – including my wife, and soon to be my kids! It is the best board for sailors looking to improve on those skills. In my experience, I put someone who is struggling with their first carve gybes on this board and within the first session, they have the confidence to be pulling off their first gybes. It’s definitely a breakthrough board for a difficult milestone of windsurfing progression.”
Jules Denel: “The Magic Ride is so easy to sail and gybe, it’s the perfect cruising board!”
Shape Details
You will be stunned by the light and easy handling when blasting along.
- Still based on a thin and wide platform with adjusted proportions.
- Slightly narrower at the centre and longer -> the stretched-out waterline makes early planing easier and lifts the board effortlessly onto the plane. It provides the rider more directional stability at speed and more upwind power
- Even volume distribution keeps the centre of gravity close to the mast base
- Wider nose makes it a more stable platform when non-planing.
- New and wider tail outline -> offers great release, reduces drag and improves high wind control.
- Smooth deck shape guarantees a comfortable stance in every foot strap option and makes it easier getting in and out of the straps
- Increased V-flow underneath for a more comfortable ride, improved gybing and an exciting lively feel
- Easy entering into the straps
- Good leverage to load up the fin
The true freerider: What is astonishing about the new board line is its ease and smoothness. You’ll step on it and everything will happen naturally and predictably. The feel is “familiar” – like putting on an old pair of shoes: It just fits! Relaxed and confident you’ll achieve more speed now than on ordinary freeride boards before. Despite these easy-riding characteristics, performance and agility are not compromised. The hull feels quick, lively and responsive. Planing readily, it provides traction which inspires you to push your fun and adrenaline and lets the board fly on its fin – in control!
Master of the turn: It feels effortless and refined even in challenging sea states. Still featuring the respected “autopilot qualities”, the MR requires little input from the rider and its forgiveness will pamper the intermediate rider and up his success rate of gybes.
At the same time its rail bite will encourage the more advanced rider to push harder and corner with full dedication: Tighter and tighter turns, classic freestyle like duck gybes and carving 360s will be the name of the game. It’s never been easier to enter the turn at speed, plane through or to learn and to master any kind of gybe.
Magic Ride 159: Longer than the other sizes, it is stable and accessible and thus the perfect board for anyone stepping down from a beginner board with daggerboard. It is specially tuned for easy, early planing! Experiencing the planing sensation and getting hooked on the feeling happens naturally
A new epitome of freeriding: A state of the art synergy between easy handling and performance. This manoeuvre-oriented freeride board upped its overall ease and performance in all conditions. The ease, smoothness, forgiveness and control enable new performance levels and improve everyone’s riding fun.
If it’s about freeriding, then here is the MAGIC!
