Apex V8 Twintip

Performance & Feel

The Apex V8 is built around a double basalt fibre laminate and a Paulownia wood core. The basalt lamination sharpens the boards response through the load and release of a jump, so pop feels crisp and the board reacts quickly when you shift your weight. A Paulownia wood core at the heart of the layup keeps the direct feel underfoot and the plush, comfortable ride the Apex has always been known for. ABS reinforced rails and inserts sit on top of that, so the board takes hard landings and crashes.

The base is where the Apex holds its edge. A double concave shape with a solid centre spine gives clean grip and softens the impact on touchdown. The channelled base locks you in when you're loading the edge for a jump or riding fast upwind. Ride it hooked or unhooked, powered or overpowered; the Apex holds its line and pops when you ask for it.

What makes the Apex a genuine all-rounder is that it takes straps or boots without compromising either. Straps for playful freeride and predictable pop, boots when you want to lock in and start pushing unhooked tricks or big air with more control. The board ships as board, fins and handle, with pads or boots sold separately so you can dial in the setup that suits you.
