Surfwave Thruster
Thruster performance, exponentially enhanced. For the Custom 3 Pro we are pairing our most progressive wave shapes with a V bottom shape and a faster rocker line. Slightly less rocker, making them faster and more stable.
New outlines and rail flow, the Custom 3 Pro is a middle ground between the Custom 4 Pro and the One 3 Pro.
Francisco interviews Marcilio on the new shapes:
FG: How was your experience developing the new Custom Thruster?
MB: They felt excellent from the start, as we applied all the things that we learned from my pro models, combining a V-bottom shape with a bit faster rocker line and thruster fins.
FG: Where would you position the Custom Thruster in the line?
MB: Between the Custom 4 and the ONE. The initial design objectives focused on maintaining its wave riding performance in a wider variety of conditions. But as the line increases in sizes, we noticed more and more people loving the Custom 3 for bump & jump riding, which drove us to focus on refining some of the low end and speed characteristics to plane earlier, jump higher, and still get to those radical turns that stay with you.
FG: What would you say the main differences are between this model and the Custom Quad?
MB: The main difference is on the full V-Bottom with a slightly sharper rocker and more parallel outline. In the water, they are so much fun. They are easier to break the line and get vertical on a tight area. The tail releases earlier, making takas and other moves more accessible in all-around conditions.
FG: How does it compare to the ONE?
MB: The Custom 3 has a more curved outline than the ONE, designed for the more wave-oriented rider. The slot boxes offer the fin movement required by the more advanced riders.
FG: And with the new Nitro?
MB: They share the same bottom with the Nitro but with a more wave performance-oriented outline, especially more in tune for the windier and better frontside days.
FG: Why not five boxes and outer straps options?
MB: Thrusters work best on these V bottoms, and I wouldn’t want to carry those two extra boxes on a performance board. They add weight and drag.
FG: What can we expect as we jump on these new shapes from the previous year?
MB: They are faster and with added comfort and control. They will maximize your ride in all conditions, from ON, Side-On to Off-Shore.
FG: Would we see you using these boards in the tour?
MB: These boards were a huge surprise to me. They felt so easy and with such early planning that it just felt as if they brought my most consistent sailing forward. I am pretty sure I will compete on these models as I did before in Tenerife and Denmark, maybe more this year. I’m hoping that we finally start having some events. I’m ready!

Keith Teboul: “More speed, more drive, more snap. The Cube continues to thrive in side-onshore, onshore, and bump & jump conditions.
The latest iteration features a fuller outline to increase early planing and acceleration to top speed. Tail outline and rocker allows you to transition this speed into rapid tight turns, redirecting when and where you need to at a moment’s notice.
Quad fin setup provides grip in any type of wave section, regardless of the angle you put the board in to hit it. In larger waves, the Cube Pro’s grip aids holding your line when the slightest chop could otherwise throw you off.”

Quatro Pyramid Pro Surfing Thruster
Keith Teboul: “My goal for the 2022/23 Pyramid Pro was simplicity and having fun in epic wavesailing condi- tions. In look and feel, the new Pyramid encompasses the core elements in surfing of speed, power, and flow, delivering unprecedented performance in a variety of down-the line wave conditions.
The all new Pyramid Pro is much faster to plane, has more drive on the wave face, and retains the industry’s leading grip through the turns. This means you catch more waves and setup your approach with higher speeds, so you can draw the lines of your dreams with full confidence in your board setup.
With the immediate success of the revolutionary Con-Vee bottom in the prior Pyrmaid Pro, we set out to review some of the all time best boards in our lineage, to see how we could blend and even enhance the modern Con- Vee concept.
Pyramid prototypes and team Custom boards alike featured various refinements to all design aspects. Slight adjustments to the rocker line, rail flow off the nose, and outline through the back of the mast track through the
New
middle of your stance all played into these new Pyramid shapes. The outline is a touch fuller and the mast track position has been adjusted to work in its full spectrum.
Across our entire team’s different riding styles and sizes, we are all stoked, and so we know you will be too.”

Powerwave 4 Batten
Developed in collaboration with Goya Windsurfing top team rider champions Marcilio Browne and Kai Lenny, the Banzai Pro is our worldwide wave sail. Outstanding power is paired with excellent control.
The 2022/23 model features an improved flex feel throughout the entire size range, well balanced for maneuver style riding, with an extra bit of power available off the backhand at all times, for really loading up into big maneuvers or just for a burst of speed.
Unique to the Banzai Pro design concept is the back-hand throttle control. The sail pulls forward from “low RPMs” and is very balanced, but there is always a little “extra” available off the back hand for when you really need to juice up into a jump or maneuver. This tactile back-hand feel gives you a direct connection to how the sail is loading and releasing and allows you stay connected throughout your maneuvers.
The Banzai Pro is simple to rig, yet highly tunable to rider style and preference. Its Poly Clew out-haul system, offering a high and a low boom attachment ring, in particular expands the wind range of this bestseller even more. The Banzai Pro is the answer and solution to all demands of a light weight, direct power delivery, wide range sail with heaps of flex feel and control. Its adaptability is unparalleled.
Developed from years of focused collaboration with the team and a worldwide following, the work continues.
Quality features such as folded edges and leech protection against fraying remain alive and well even in the context of the sail’s most massive weight drop to date.
The Banzai Pro window material is Bi-Ply film. A massive step up from mono film, Bi-Ply is two layers of laminated clear film, lasting about 3x longer than mono film. It is UV protected and highly resistant to hard creases. Endlessly supple when unrolling your sail, and endlessly valuable when falling and not breaking it.
The yellow sail is Marcilio Browne’s personal Pro Model.
