The Realest is Tristan Roberts' (2019 & 2022 back-to-back World Champion) Pro-Model. Tristan Roberts has been riding for Pride Bodyboards since 2012 and has achieved remarkable success while riding the Realest.
We have known Tristan for a while, and the adjective "The Realest," coined by Tupac Shakur to convey honesty, truthfulness, rawness, and respect, perfectly encapsulates him and his riding style. The Realest is a pure-bred, fairly straight, prone template, featuring an additional thickness for increased volume and a wider outline compared to most pro-models in our range. This board is ideal if you're seeking a rocket-like speed that still provides buoyancy in small to medium conditions.
This version of the Realest comes equipped with the latest Kinetic Polypro Core, is an advanced bodyboard core that is lightweight (1.9 lbs PCF) and fused together to create a nucleus that offers exceptional flex properties, such as immediate recoil, increased longitudinal stiffness, and impressive compression strength. It is used by all professionals today.
The Single to Double bottom contour increases lift and speed in smaller conditions by optimizing water flow beneath your board. It has become the current standard for highest-quality bottom contours.
Features:
- Tristan Roberts Signature Template
-
KINETIC CORE™ (PP)- Constructed from premium grade 1.9 lb density Arpro Polypropylene resins, Kinetic Core™ delivers amazing projection and response as a result of high pressure cell-fusion created during the blank manufacturing process. Kinetic Core is a warm water core available in various reinforcement configurations, each tuned for specific wave conditions.
-
1X CFT STRINGER- A high-grade filament wound composite-fiber tube rod placed inside of the core of the board for increased board strength and spring-like recoil.
- Single to Double Concave
- 55/45 Double rails
-
SURLYN® Slick Bottom- Surlyn is a unique, rubber like combination of ethylene resins and other copolymers invented and manufactured by the chemical geniuses at DuPont. Unlike rigid plastics, Surlyn has amazing flexural stiffness that allows a board to conform and contort to the curve of the wave when controlled by applied pressure from the rider. When the torque is released, the dynamic memory properties of the Surlyn deliver instant recoil, projecting the board onto the next section. Surlyn is so strong that it is used as the cover for golf balls due to its unique abilities to resist cutting and abrasions from golf club impact. Surlyn is the slick of choice for high end bodyboards.
-
REACT MESH - Diamond shaped mesh weave fused between the boards core and slick bottom skin for enhanced stiffness and recoil.
-
NOSE AND TAIL BUMPERS- Extra padding along the edge of the board to give extra strength and durability, making your board last much longer.
-
Clipped CRESCENT TAIL- The clipped crescent tail is the most popular crescent tail option. This tail will perform when driving, turning, carving and releasing. Clipping the tail allows the rider to maximize their drive and maintain control through the outer concaves and clipped areas.
Manufactured in Indonesia at Broady Indonesia, home of the best shapers in the world and the leader of Bodyboard Quality and Technology.
