Tabou Rocket 2012 board - Freeride

The same sophisticated shapes like the Rocket LTD  packed in an extremely durable and tough outer skin of fiberglass and PVC sandwich. This gives us the best ratio of weight to durability. This is our most popular design. Forget about stones on the beach, get ready to have some fun with this time tested classic with the perfect blend of performance and strength.

FABIEN ABOUT R&D

To develop Freeride shapes is a lot of fun. To shape a new and even better all-round board needs a lot of experience. Ultimately the goal is to develop a shape that is as fast as a Manta, can jibe as a 3S and is just as alive and free as a Pocket Wave. Some new ideas only work in certain sizes, some with fine tuning can be transferred to others. So it's no coincidence that all three newly developed boards have a bit of the 125 which we presented last year. The most striking feature of the shapes is the new tail design which the 125 has already proven in many tests.

The main target on the winger development was the free character of the board and great top speed. So we came up with the winger in the tail to reduce the tail area, but keep the same "non active" planning ability at the same time. After first test the team loved this feature right away, so we got more into details.

“Not everyone keeps his material like a professional World Cuper. The Rockets are easy they don’t worry about little punches here and there."
