Description

RRD Barracuda V3 Y24 Surfboard 2019

ALL AROUND SURF STYLE

 

Designed, tested, and developed by Ralf Bachschuster. The Barracuda V3 was created to be used for strapped-in riding, but is also loved by many strapless riders. These phenomenal sticks are very fast, securely grip the water, and deliver an abundance of hold in the most extreme conditions. Classic smooth, surf feeling producing effortless carves on any waves
The third version of this power house has an entirely redesigned outline. Our goal was to take this radical shape and make it more well rounded for all to enjoy it’s high-end performance. The maximum width has been moved forward to allow more parallel lines towards the tail. The nose has been slightly widened to create a better balance and improved control and comfort.

”One board does it all”

The new Barracuda V3 is easier to ride and more comfortable both in light winds and strong winds. It now fits within a true “one board that does it all” program. In addition, the new pintail winger tail was introduced with the idea to slightly increase tail width for better upwind performance when the back foot is moved forward, in front of the strap. Thus it drastically reduces the tail width right after the winger for an incredibly quick response and insane turns! The full mono-concave hull with heaps of rocker on the tail makes planing fast and holding control on choppy waters a breeze.Developed and tested in Cape Town by one of the most influential and radical kiteboarders in the South African kite scene, the Barracudas are not only fast boards that were born to handle full power but can now be revered as the one and only board you need in your quiver!

RRD BARRACUDA V3 Features

  • Slightly wider outline towards the nose with a pintail winger tail to increase control and comfort while allowing great turning potential with plenty grip.
  • Full mono-concave hull with heaps of rocker on the tail. Planing fast and holding control on choppy waters.
  • Thicker volume mid section in between your feet to allow floatation and keeping momentum at lower speed.
  • Thin rail profile on nose and tail to allow best grip at high speed and lower the volume to keep the weight down.

What is included:

The Barracuda V3 comes complete with front and back pad, plus extra hexagon pads to attach in the mid section of the board or anywhere you would like extra grip

The following set up options of fins and foot straps can be added:

2 x Directional surf straps with velcro adjustment – £29.99

3 x Thruster Composite fins – £29.99

3 x Thruster RRD Fibreglass fins – £49.99

 

The difference between the Composite and Fibreglass fins is the flex, the fibreglass are stiffer, giving more grip and response, but for most people the noticeable difference is quite minimal, especially if using on smaller, slower, less powerful waves.

Sizes

Construction

  • BARRACUDA V3 LTE 

LTE (Built Tough, Lasts Long) TECHNOLOGY

The new LTE technology comes straight from the ultimate molded surfboards technology. It consists of a high definition EPS core, made with a high definition “Super EPS“ mould. This is then injected with 36 Kgs/m3 density bits. This phenomenal core is so strong that you could ride it on the water without any lamination on it!! The core has heel recesses incorporated into the deck of the boards. Thus creating the perfect placement for EVA heel shock absorbers to prevent heel dents. The Full Glass layup makes the board super flexible to ride and really strong to impact resistance, creating unmatched durability.

  • BARRACUDA V3 CLASSIC 

CLASSIC PU (The Real Surf Feeling) TECHNOLOGY

The Classic PU construction has been developed to create pure surfboards for pure wave riding and to allow control over choppy waters. We have improved the weight and strength of the boards this year. We are now using a hi-volume lightweight pigment in the resin. This type of resin fills up the holes in the foam and reduces the amount of resin content in the glass fibers, making the boards lighter. The Classic boards have low fiber memory and low foam memory at the same time. This low memory gives our boards a proper surfboard feel. We recommend the Classic PU technology to the riders who love a comfortable ride which this construction provides through its flexibility.
