Faced with judging criteria that favor <em>hang tens<\/em> Thomas Bexon has designed a board that allows slow, stable <em>nose wrinkles<\/em> while maintaining exceptional maneuverability. The result is a board that combines stability, control and agility, suitable for intermediate and expert surfers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical specifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Enlarged nose<\/strong> offers enhanced stability for <em>hang tens<\/em> successful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chamfered rails<\/strong> The new \"B\" and \"B\" fins allow the board to stay high in the wave, preventing it from burying itself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Generous concave nose<\/strong> creates lift and slows the board down slightly to keep it on course. <em>nose ride<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>50\/50 rails in the center, tapered to 60\/40 towards the tail<\/strong> These features ensure a balance between fluidity and responsiveness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tail square rounded with light <em>flip<\/em><\/strong> offers superior manoeuvrability for <em>cutbacks<\/em> and <em>bottom turns<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Behavior in water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Malibu excels in a variety of conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Beach breaks<\/strong> Its responsiveness means it can adapt to unpredictable sections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Point breaks<\/strong> ideal for <em>nose wrinkles<\/em> and smooth transitions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reef breaks<\/strong> Its stability and control make it a safe choice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It performs well in waves ranging from 50 cm to 1.5 m, offering remarkable versatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\"
