With refined curves, a modern spiral vee bottom, and hidden foam strategically placed for paddle power, the Freewing is built to keep surfers sharp and energized without demanding perfection from every move. Whether carving on rail or transitioning through flat spots, this board provides a lively, forgiving ride while retaining the edge needed to perform in critical sections.
Pro
Forgiving Performance: Hidden foam and a fuller deck offer extra paddle power and stability without compromising responsiveness.
Lively, Modern Bottom: Spiral vee and concave configuration enhance speed, drive, and fluid rail-to-rail transitions.
Versatile Rocker: Relaxed entry improves paddle-in and down-the-line speed, while the extra exit rocker helps it fit in steeper sections for more vertical surfing.
Tour-Proven Influence: Designed for Jack Freestone—high-level performance with real-world usability.
Con
Not for Pure Power Surfers: Those looking for ultra-drivey, chiseled lines might find the softer front-end and forgiving rail slightly too mellow.
Works Best With Good Technique: The board does a lot, but to really maximize its performance, surfers need to stay engaged and deliberate in transitions.
Final Verdict
The Freewing is a refined high-performance shortboard that adds a layer of ease to progressive surfing. Designed to reinvigorate familiar surfing lines while helping carry momentum and maximize wave count, it’s a board that works with you—not against you. Perfect for advanced surfers looking for something fresh, or intermediates wanting to push their performance without feeling punished for small mistakes. Balanced, reliable, and full of life.
