Duotone Grip (Tri) SLS (SB, incl. fin)hnlich wie bei unserem SUPER_HERO D LAB Segel war es unser Ziel, mit der neuen Waveboard Range echte Game Changer zu erschaffen. Was wir bei der Entwicklung des SUPER_HERO D LAB gelernt haben, ist, dass man an allen Aspekten arbeiten muss, um wirklich sprbare Verbesserungen zu erreichen. Die Umstellung unserer Boardtechnologie von der branchenblichen Semi Custom Technologie auf unsere exklusive FULL CUSTOM PRODUCTION legte den Grundstein fr alles

Ähnlich wie bei unserem SUPER_HERO D/LAB Segel war es unser Ziel, mit der neuen Waveboard-Range echte Game Changer zu erschaffen.

Was wir bei der Entwicklung des SUPER_HERO D/LAB gelernt haben, ist, dass man an allen Aspekten arbeiten muss, um wirklich spürbare Verbesserungen zu erreichen.

Die Umstellung unserer Boardtechnologie von der branchenüblichen Semi-Custom-Technologie auf unsere exklusive FULL CUSTOM PRODUCTION legte den Grundstein für alles Weitere (Details siehe unten bei TECH AND SHAPE DETAILS). Denn diese Technologie hob das Gewicht-Halbarkeits Verhältnis auf ein völlig neues Niveau. Und sie ermöglichte es uns endlich, jeden einzelnen Prototyp in der Fabrik zu fertigen, wie wir es seit über 30 Jahren mit unseren Segeln tun. Denn der beste Prototyp ist nichts wert, wenn er nicht reproduziert werden kann oder sich aufgrund von unterschiedlichen Materialien, Prozessen oder Gewicht anders anfühlt.

Um einen ähnlichen Schritt nach vorne in der 3D-Konstruktion zu machen, haben wir uns entschlossen, ein eigenes CAD-Programm schreiben zu lassen. Verglichen mit der Industriestandard-Software Shape3D ist unser DT_BOARD_3D-Programm viel genauer und ermöglicht es uns, selbst super komplexe 3D-Formgebungen wie das brandneue SYNCED CURVES CONCEPT zu realisieren.

DESIGNZIELE >> SHAPE-DETAILS 

Unser Hauptziel war es, Designs zu entwickeln, die einen maximalen Einsatzbereich haben und einfacher (weniger anstrengend) sowie radikaler auf der Welle sind.

Grundsätzlich wollten wir eine stabilere Plattform schaffen, was speziell beim Angleiten und gegen das Weisswasser Vorteile bringt. Gleichzeitig sollen die Boards auf der Well aber auch noch radikaler werden, was sich normalerweise nicht kombinieren lässt.

Hier sind die 3 wichtigsten Shape-Details, die unser Team in den letzten 2,5 Jahren entwickelt hat (für alle anderen Details siehe unten bei TECH AND SHAPE DETAILS):

STABLE YET RADICAL CONCEPT

Unsere Waveboards sind 1-2cm breiter als die meisten anderen Boards. 

  • Die größere Breite führt zu einer stabileren Plattform. Das macht unsere Waveboards beim Driften/Floaten und im Weisswasser so stabil wie ein 5 Liter größeres Board. 
  • Vor allem aber führt die zusätzliche Breite zu mehr Outline-Kurve. Dies verbessert die Manövrierfähigkeit, wodurch das Board so radikal dreht wie ein 5 Liter kleineres Board. 

Das Ergebnis ist ein unschlagbar breiter Einsatzbereich.

3-STAGE ROCKER

Im Gegensatz zur üblichen durchgehenden Rockerkurve basiert unser gesamtes Shapekonzept auf einer segmentierten Rockerlinie. Dies trägt der Tatsache Rechnung, dass Top- und Bottom-Turn zwei völlig unterschiedliche Manöver sind. Während man den Bottom-Turn mehr über den vorderen Fuß einleitet (je nach Höhe der Welle), wird der Top-Turn nur über den hinteren Fuß gesurft. Dieser Haltungswechsel ist die größte Herausforderung, vor allem beim Erlernen des Wellenreitens - was mit unserem 3-STAGE ROCKER viel einfacher wird.

  1. Die gerade Rocker-Sektion zwischen den vorderen und hinteren Schlaufen schafft eine superstabile Haltung/Plattform, so dass du beim Wechsel zwischen Bottom- und Top-Turn perfekt mit deinem Board auf der Welle oder beim Rausfahren synchron bist.
  2. Der Bug-Rocker beginnt direkt vor den vorderen Schlaufen, was dazu beiträgt, den vorderen Teil der Kanten einzusetzen, sobald man sich im Bottom Turn nach vorne lehnt.
  3. KICKSTARTER-HECK: Der Heck-Rocker nach der hinteren Schlaufe bleibt sehr moderat bis zu den letzten 4-5cm vor dem Heck, wo er in einen progressiven Tail-Kick übergeht. Dieser Tail-Kick sorgt für eine perfekte Wasserabfluss und in Kombination mit der flachen Rocker-Linie für eine Kickstarter-ähnliche Beschleunigung, sobald man über den hinteren Fuß etwas Druck gibt. Außerdem ermöglicht der Tail-Kick natürlich super enge Top-Turns, wenn man das Board mit dem hinteren Fuss zurückschnappt.

SYNCED CURVES CONCEPT (Rocker><Outline><Kante)

Outline, Rocker und Kanten Shape sind die 3 Schlüsselelemente, die bestimmen, wie sich ein Board anfühlt und wie es sich performt. In jeder Rocker- und Outline gibt es Stellen mit mehr oder weniger Krümmung. Das Gleiche gilt für den Kantenradius, der stark variiert. Um zu verhindern, dass die 3 Kurven „gegeneinander“ arbeiten, ist die oberste Priorität, diese Kurven zu synchronisieren. Das bedeutet, dass in Bereichen mit erhöhter Rocker-Kurve auch die Outline-Kurve erhöht wird und die Kanten eine erhöhte Krümmung aufweisen und umgekehrt.

  • Erhöhte Outline-Kurve, Bug-Rocker und Kanten-Krümmung um die Mastspur erleichtert das Einleitung des Bottom-Turns (wird über den vorderen Fuß eingeleitet)
  • Verstärkte Outline-Kurve, Heck-Rocker und Kanten-Krümmung nach der hinteren Schlaufe für radikalere Top-Turns (mit dem hinteren Fuß eingeleitet).

Unseres Wissens nach kann diese komplexe 3D-Aufgabe nur von unserer eigenen AI_BOARD_3D-Software ausgeführt werden.

Wir haben begonnen, dieses Konzept an bestehenden Boards zu testen und die Verbesserungen an jedem Board waren so überwältigend, dass wir dieses Design-Konzept in alle 2026er Boards integriert haben.

Information is great, quality not so much
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Think the information is good and to the point. My book was misprinted and had the top portion of the page cut off so that I can see about only half of the book page number.

History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes
Format: Hardcover
They say that history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. Reading Rachel Maddow's Prequel, that old adage lands with uncomfortable, clarifying force. The America of the 1930s had Senator Huey Long — loud, brash, barnstorming, and brimming with populist promises — and the resonance with our own era of bombastic political theater is impossible to dismiss. Maddow doesn't make that parallel clumsily. She doesn't need to. The evidence, laid out with the precision of a seasoned researcher and historian, speaks for itself. Prequel tells the story of a far-right authoritarian impulse that has run through the veins of American political life for nearly a hundred years. In the 1930s, coinciding with Hitler's rise in Europe, a coordinated movement pushed hard for fascism here at home. Groups stockpiled weapons and explosives in preparation for an insurrection. Government officials worked in coordination with foreign actors. A fascist-sympathetic narrative was amplified through official and unofficial channels alike. This was not fringe paranoia — it was organized, resourced, and frighteningly close to succeeding. What is remarkable — and what gives this book its most urgent energy — is the story of who stopped it. Not always the institutions we might hope to rely on. Where the American legal system faltered, journalists and activists filled the breach. Investigators, reporters, and citizens took up the banner of democracy through dogged, unglamorous work. This is where Maddow's particular genius comes into its own. She is a master of the long connective thread — drawing bright lines between the events of the past and the present without letting the comparison become reductive or cheap. Prequel teaches us what was learned the last time democracy faced this kind of pressure: where the weaknesses are, what held, and — critically — what it will take to hold again. She identifies the strongholds. She maps the vulnerabilities. She makes a history lesson feel like a field guide. The book is also, simply, a pleasure to read. Maddow brings to the page the same qualities that made her a formidable broadcaster: the ability to take deeply complex, document-heavy material and render it not just comprehensible but genuinely gripping. Her research is formidable. Her journalistic integrity is evident on every page. And her storytelling instincts transform what might otherwise be a dry historical account into something that reads with the momentum of a thriller. The result is a text that is at once a celebration — democracy was fought for and, in that moment, successfully defended — and a warning. This book is well researched, well documented, and well written. Maddow is a master storyteller handing us a guide for the fight ahead of us. The impulse toward authoritarianism did not dissolve with the defeat of fascism abroad; it went quiet, regrouped, and waited. Democracy is once again under attack from the inside, and Prequel makes the case — calmly, rigorously, without hysteria — that this is not unprecedented, that it has been faced before, and that it can be faced again. Don't give up the fight. Don't let the bastards grind you down. (Upgraded from 4.5 stars)

American history without the gold-plated bias
Format: Hardcover
Ms. Maddow is an amazing historian and journalist! She describes events in history in a rational, no-nonsense manner, with clarity and insight. We have been taught a white-washed version of history from 1st through 12th grade, and I literally mean white-washed. Humanity has always made mistakes and should be recorded in history. Ms. Maddow does an exceptional job of removing the "sugar-coating" from documented events and revealing the greed, corruption, and manipulation hiding beneath. I dearly hope that she will write a biography on this present president, which I believe would be as close to the truth as humanly possible. I will certainly buy a copy!

A must-read - hair-raising, deeply alarming, and shudder-producing
Format: Kindle
What I liked: - Deeply researched - amazing depth, particularly of a wide range of characters (a few of whom are true heroes) and many more miscreants - Rachel must have had a spectacular research team to work with! She mentions that "there were millions of words written about the rise of (and fight against) fascism as it was happening in pre-World War II America" - but I bet that most Americans haven't been exposed to them. - Starts off mildly with George Sylvester Viereck (a ridiculous author, but just wait!) but then shifts gears progressively as the story builds and adds in a raft of odious characters - Not afraid to name names - some of the politicians ultimately come in for some serious whacking (see Sens. Wheeler and Langer especially). Also surprising were the back stories of names I recognize (architect Philip Johnson, for example) without knowing of their nazi sympathies and antisemitism. - Mr. and Mrs. Lindbergh are waaay more complicated than our stereotypes of the heroic but opaque pilot and his saintly wife (she is one scary piece of work!) - stuff I simply didn't know, and what was presented was alarming to the extent of making skin crawl - I had never heard of the sedition trials of 1943 and 1944 and prosecutor John Rogge at all before - just one example of new (and stunning) information from our history - absolute bedlam! - As the history advances and the book nears its end, there are several BIG events that may push you back in your reading chair several times - again, no spoilers, but hoo-eee! - The epilogue was a treat to read - again, I won't reveal any spoilers A minor criticism - the book is derived (I believe) from Rachel's podcasts, and thus the writing has her inimitable voice (pointed asides, etc.), but as a result may lack some polish and smoothness in the prose. Some may love it, some may carp, some may not even notice it. Whatever. If material about this period is of interest to the reader, be certain to seek out "Hitler in Los Angeles" by Steven J. Ross - its focus is a little narrower, dealing with Jewish undercover work to foil Nazi plotting in Los Angeles, but Leon Lewis, a true mensch and hero, is in Maddow's book as well.

Fascinating details from the past but not really a “prequel”
Format: Hardcover
Rachel Maddow’s “Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism” recounts the efforts of pro-fascists in the United States, aided and manipulated by Nazi Germany, to keep America from actively opposing Hitler as well as to plot ways to turn America into a fascist country. The struggle to defeat those forces began in the early 1930s led by private citizens who, on their own, went undercover to join fascist groups and try to alert various government agencies about what was happening. A relatively small number of fascists gathered weapons to prepare for an insurrection. In the last chapters of the book, Maddow describes a 1944 trial in which the Justice Department brought sedition charges against some 30 defendants, most of whose activities she covered in previous chapters. The trial was chaotic, interrupted by frequent outbursts from the defendants and their lawyers. When the judge suddenly died one night of heart attack and a mistrial was declared, the Justice Department did not seek a new trial. The war against Hitler was nearing an end, so there was no push to revisit the past to pronounce judgment on those whose activities on the home front ultimately did not affect our victory over the Nazis. Since the ending is rather anticlimactic, Maddow, at times, may try a little too hard to make things sound more dire than they really were. Although elsewhere she has described Westbrook Pegler as an “extreme” right wing columnist and “pseudo-fascist,” she quotes him at the end of her chapter on Huey Long as averring that, in Louisiana, Long was “gradually copying the Hitler state.” Long was certainly a corrupt, authoritarian politician, but his populist politics had their origins in his upbringing in Winn Parish, where the Socialist Party carried the day in the 1912 election. Had he lived and had he run for president in 1936, he might have drawn enough votes from FDR to give the election to a Republican candidate, but he had no use for Nazism. (I live in Louisiana where, until 1973, we observed Huey’s birthday as a state holiday.) Maddow seems to imply that there was something nefarious about the death in 1940 of Senator Ernest Lundeen in a passenger airplane crash that occurred during a thunderstorm. Lundeen, who had close ties to a top Nazi spy, may have been under investigation, but nothing indicates that his presence on the flight had anything to do with the crash. The cause was never determined, but, based on the way the plane headed forcibly into the ground, a likely explanation is that it was caught in the kind of thunderstorm microbursts that we now know has caused similar crashes. Though, for me, the book seems to promise a bit more than it actually delivers, I did learn a lot about the ties of right wing politics to Nazism during that era. I was aware that Henry Ford was a fanatical antisemite, but, until I read Maddow’s book, I did not know that his efforts extended to publishing a ninety-two part series based on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion that appeared in the Dearborn Independent, a newspaper that he owned, with copies distributed to every Ford dealership. It was published in book form as “The International Jew” and widely circulated in Germany. Hitler praised Ford in “Mein Kampf” and, according to one account, had a portrait of Ford displayed on the wall in his office when he was visited by an American reporter. I was aware that the Nazis studied segregation in the American South for guidance in drafting their own race laws, but I didn’t know that Nazi Germany dispatched an attorney to the University of Arkansas School of Law to acquire first-hand knowledge. I was aware that Father Coughlin was a demagogic opponent of FDR, but I was not aware of the ferocity of his antisemitism or his ties to various pro-Nazi fascists. However, I was really totally unaware of the way actual Nazi agents in league with pro-Nazi Americans were able to get congressmen and senators to distribute Nazi propaganda, typically inserted into the Congressional Record and then sent to millions of Americans for free using the congressional franking privilege. On the other hand, I doubt that propaganda delivered in that manner was very effective. Pages from the Congressional Record could not compete with the message delivered by the 1939 Warner Brothers film “Confessions of a Nazi Spy,” the first anti-Nazi movie produced by Hollywood, based on actual events that Maddow describes. Nothing pro-fascists did in the United States affected our entry into the war against Germany. We went to war when Hitler himself declared war on us four days after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Nazi Germany certainly posed a military threat, but there wasn’t much danger that fascist politics would actually prevail in the United States. The political situation is very different today and, though I, like Maddow, admire the “smart, brave, determined, resourceful, self-sacrificing [anti-fascist] Americans who went before us,” I think the political challenges we face today are much more dire.
