AHD-Boards

STAY ZEN

Year after year the A-H-D Zen has adequately fitted the requests of many large and small sailing-schools and stood up to the challenge of endurance thrown by its plastic forerunners.

Why should we change anything to a well found product? We prefer to retain the same proven model.

The Zen range has the added advantage to offer a well planed progression from the very stable - yet planing - 230 to the true free-ride 170 and its zest of performance and smooth gybes, through the 190 on which the aspirant rider will start realising consequences of his feet placing and pressure.ON THE WATER:

These school or family boards are aimed at getting you surfing on your own within a few hours, without forgetting that you get on for pleasing times and some sensation building. Wrong-footing friendly, they very quickly offer gliding sensations due to their good speed in moderate winds.

SHAPE:

Our Zen range regroups 3 different shapes which follow an evolution from beginners-tuition to a true free-ride sailing. Their volume repartition has been carefully researched and the scoop lines, we use, will guarantee smooth accelerations to maintain stability and comfort the beginner.

Our 3 Zens have a full EVA deck, both comfortable and reassuring for kids and older beginners, their centre-boards are all fully retractable.

SHAPE SPECIFICS:

Scoop line: progressive, ideally designed for getting smoothly

into a plane without that disrupting on/off effect and for

optimal gliding at slow speeds.

Outline: long and homogeneous for more stability, more lift

and more forgiveness. 

Double concave bottom: higher the speed, lower will the

wetted area be, your board will be gliding effortlessly (on Zens

230 and 190)

Deck: full EVA, soft and comfortable. 

Dagger-board: fully retractable
