RRD X-Fire LTD V4 - Slalom/Race/Speed
More Info
RRD has developed the most exciting and performance driven range of slalom boards to ever hit the windsurfing market.
The all-new 2012 RRD X-Fire V4 range sets a new standard in slalom sailing with the introduction of the `TT Tail` ...meaning TORO TAIL). This is the next generation of design concepts that will take the slalom windsurfing world by storm.
So what`s new?
A comprehensive design and testing program has produced 5 all-new designs that will be the market reference in 2012.
- Fastest boards ever...period.
- TT Tail creates unrivalled control and stability
- TT Tail releases wetted surface area drag underneath the back foot.
- TT Tail increases acceleration away from gybes
- Increased wind range on all boards
- New rail design equals better gybing
- Reduced volume and thickness in the nose
- Reduced weight and easier handling
- Full-carbon laminations for the 114, 122 and 129, making them super lightweight yet exceptionally strong.
- Revised scoop-rocker lines for all boards
- Maximum attention and accuracy for individually tailored bottom shapes for each new model.
- Revised cut-out designs for all boards (98, 105, 114, 122 & 129), giving increased controllable lift with better acceleration.

BIGSURF OPINION
Ex-world slalom champion Antoine Albeau is on them for 2012, as is Finian Maynard and not to forget our own bigsurf.ie team rider Pearse Geaney. New tails and new constructions for 2012...you can`t lose!
The X-Fire 80 is the board to have on the speed course when the smaller speed boards are not working, while it also makes for an awesome high wind controllable slalom board.
The X-Fire 90 will take actually a 7.6m race sail. For 2012 the shape remains the same as for 2010 and 2011, but it has the new construction...this board is all there and is SO GOOD.
The X-Fire 98 V4 is a slightly smaller version of the 2011 X-Fire 102 V3. Those of you who found the 102 V3 a little big in stronger winds, this is the baby for you this year. Brand new shape...it`s the one to have in your quiver this year.
The X-Fire 105 is a little more buoyant than the 2011 X-Fire 102 V3, but this year features the Toro tail. Like the 102 V3, untouchable by anything else in medium to high winds for riders 80kg and above.
The X-Fire 114 has been totally redesigned for 2012. Put it this way, the 2011 X-Fire 114 V3 was a weapon...the 2012 board is a nuclear version! New volume distribution, rails, scoop rocker, Toro tail...yum!
The X-Fire 122 has been widened again for the V4 board to 81cm. This is into light wind rocket ship territory. Pearse reported over 30 knots (he won`t be specific!) from the 2011 X-Fire 122 V3 with a MauiSails TR7-XT 8.4m in lightish winds... put it this way...this one won`t be any slower.
The X-Fire 129 is all new for 2012 and easily has the most development invested into it. Looking for a light wind monster...watch Antoine and Finian on this board in 2012.
We promise...you won`t be disappointed with the performance from these boards! Check out what Finian has to say about them...
