Bender X Step
From: $745.00
The Bender X Step model is ideal for use in 1 to 6 foot swell targeted for use at beach breaks through to points and reefs. Skill level is suitable for learner through to advanced surfer. This design is a close cousin to the Bender – X but with a slightly narrower tail featuring the swallow for a little more drive and wave height suitability. It has great flotation and stability due to the nature of the design with a mid-low rocker entry and wider outline. Another characteristic of this design is the single to double concave. Through the extra flotation of this design you can ride the board shorter than a normal HPX style and therefore, help with more explosive and spontaneous manoeuvres.
X F-RAP Deck Channel option
The Bender X Step offers the option of the PU or EPS X F-RAP deck channel and stringerless carbon design. This offers more flex and spring through your turns than regular designs and is less weight due to the removal of the wooden stringer. These features make the surfboard snappier off the top plus more spring and speed out of turns.
