Description
The F-One TRAX ESL is all about having fun on the water.
This new board is based on the long TRAX heritage and implements some of the latest thinking developed on the WTF?! to offer a unique blend of comfort, performances and ease of ride.
The general rocker is moderate to ensure the board offers early planing and keeps the legendary glide which is the true signature of the TRAX.
The rocker line is split into three distinct stages with a flatter section in the center, which is key to achieve a good upwind angle and good tracking on the water. The transition between the middle section and the tips was inspired by the WTF?! rocker to offer really good pop.
The bottom shape features a deep double concave and some tip channels. Both are quite efficient at providing first class grip and control to the board but the double concave really is the main driver behind the overall comfort of the board and its stability at all times.
The rails are inspired by the HRD, with taller sections in the feet area for some better lift and balance, and they were kept thin everywhere else to get an easy grip.
The deck shape is stripped down for more simplicity and better contact between the bindings and the board. The 3D work in the middle section, another heritage of the TRAX, helps keeping the center of the board with a solid feel for more accuracy and control when riding.
On the water the board impresses by how smooth it is to ride. Everything feels easy and totally intuitive. Perfect glide, solid pop and easy landing characterize this well-balanced shape.
The TRAX ESL is available in two sizes 134x40cm and 135x42cm, which should fit a large range of users. The proportions of the shape are inspired by the latest freestyle developments whilst the dimensions are kept more manageable.
When equipped with our UNIBox 50m fins, they offer better speed and improved glide thanks to their thinner profile.
Technology
| WOOD CORE Trax ESL Trax ESL Girl |  | The wood forms the heart of your board and gives it most of its mechanical properties: strength, flex and resilience (ability to return to its original shape). Each year, in order to master these properties, F-one seek to optimize its distribution, particularly in terms of thickness. |
| UNIBOX Trax ESL Trax ESL Girl |  | The patented UNIBOX system and RESPONSE fins have a radical effect : the asymmetrical profile improves the general ride and early planing. However, it is the flex of the RESPONSE fins that gives amazing rail-grip as well as pop and forgiveness on heavy freestyle landings. |
| 3D DECK STRUCTURE Trax ESL Trax ESL Girl Board flex is tuned through both materials and shape. |  | The shape of the deck is especially engineered to make the board ultra responsive between your legs for maximum drive and precision with the flex increasing progressively towards the tips for maximum pop and comfort. |
| LIFTED TIP CHANNELS Trax ESL Trax ESL Girl | These channels help provide superior grip towards the tip of the board and are designed to be super-efficient during the pop. To form the channels, the tip of the board is raised in its central part, therefore creating added lift locally to the rocker of the board for better pop and easier landings. |
|
| HYBRID CAP RAILS ABS Trax ESL Trax ESL Girl | HYBRID CAP RAIL is a construction process which cleverly combines the sleek lines and perfect grip of a cap construction rail with the toughness and durability of an ABS rail. As on a cap construction, the deck comes down towards the rail but finishes on a rounded ABS sidewall providing a shape similar to a surf style rail. |
|
| DOUBLE CONCAVE STEP DESIGN Trax ESL Girl Double concave sections are designed to direct as much as possible the water flow so that when riding the concaves provide clearly superior grip. |  | During landings, the water is directed out making the touch-down smoother and more stable, avoiding unwanted bouncing and sliding effects. The side step emphasize the double concave effects and further add to the grip for better edging. |
| V DOUBLE CONCAVE Trax ESL The V double concave bottom shapes combines a general V with two concave channels on each side of the center line. |  | The V provides maneuverability while the concaves channel the water along the board. The result is a lively board providing a comfortable ride with easy landings |
