RPM iWindsurf 280 FCD - 20 PSI Max
The RPM is dedicated to pure freeride windsurfing and comes with all the benefits of inflatable construction. It is an accessible board that brings fun and excitement to all rider levels – beginner to advanced.
With ample volume, the RPM iWindsurf is forgiving for novices who are taking their first steps. When not planing, the board can be fitted with the centre fin to limit sideways drift and track better upwind.
Its compact hull shape ensures early planning and the rail curves have been optimised for turns and gybes. The inflatable construction – highly resistant to damage from catapult falls –prevents costly dings and allows advanced sailors to fully concentrate on their sailing. A sharp PVC edge runs along the rails and tail of the board. This feature greatly improves water release, reduces drag, and improves the planing capabilities of the board.
The RPM iWindsurf uses diamond-pattern and directional-groove EVA deck padding to ensure the rider has an optimal grip at all times.
Unifiber Comfort Footstraps are supplied. These are bolted into the embedded inserts and provide the rider with maximum comfort and control.
Inflatable construction makes the RPM iWindsurf easy to store and transport.
Two construction options are available:
The Single Layer version can be pumped to 15 psi. These are light weight and well-made boards with standard performance.
The Fusion Composite Dropstitch version can be pumped to 20 psi. These boards have a more direct feel and are super stiff for the best possible performance.
