The all-new Fusion 5 LWs may share the same name as their smaller siblings but they share little else. We’ve learned you simply can’t upsize the smaller Fusions. Sit them side by side and you'll see major differences between them. That’s because we tune our LW’s specifically for lighter wind conditions.
Our 5th generation LWs feature new construction, rails, outline, and hulls. But they still retain the same Cartan carbon that makes these super-light 3kg boards come alive. The most visible difference between its smaller siblings is the unique displacement hump in the middle of the deep vee. We also added a grab rail for the freestylers. And we improved the channels, edges, and outline for the freeriders. Read on to explore all the new details.
LW ROCKER
The Fusion 5's light wind rocker leverages its improved Vario rails to deliver unmatched light wind performance. This knowhow borrows from the Imperator – Carved Custom's masterpiece.
FEATURES
CARTAN® carbon
Exclusive to Core
Our proprietary 30° biaxial carbon fiber layup optimizes torsion and flex with more flex along the length of the board and less flex between the toe and heel. Cartan carbon's unique high filament count also requires less resin which saves weight. Enjoy improved pop, softer landings, and extreme durability with Cartan
NEW! UNIBODY EDGE
High-end racing ski sidewall technology finds its way to twintips. An industry first and more expensive foil, the carbon and thermoset resin process massively improves the connection between the top and bottom Cartan carbon for a true unibody build. We replaced the previous internal ABS edge strip that joins the top and bottom carbon sheets with a new 80 layer, laminated, resin-activated strip that is much harder, stiffer and better bonding. The new edge improves torsional rigidity and also stores and releases more energy than before
NEW! PAULOWNIA LIGHTER WOOD CORE
Powerfully light, marine-grade, laminated wood core. All wood has natural variation in density and volumetric weight. We now select the lowest weight laminations before gluing them together. In doing so, the specially selected, long-grained Paulownia wood is 250g lighter and just as strong as the last generation. It gives our boards dimensional stability, decay resistance and a lightweight yet distinctively powerful character. The Paulownia extends towards the board's edges and is CNC milled both top and bottom.
48MM G10 Cutback FINS
A perfect balance between tracking and freestylin' magic. The impact-resistant, G10 fiberglass fins have just the right amount of tracking stability without getting too much in the way of switches.
MULTI-CHANNELS
A massive double concave center channel and a smaller outer channel follow the length of the board provide extra depth for the V-Keel and incredible grip. In addition to the center channel, we added Quattro tip channels. Freestylers can load their edges more than ever. And freeriders will enjoy how well the Fusion 5 LW tracks upwind.
LW TUNED V-SHAPED KEEL
Inspired by the bulbous bow found on container ships, this keel reduces drag in displacement cruise, so the transition to planing is smoother. The deep V-shaped keel along the tips penetrates chop and smoothes your ride. A knee saver for sure.
BEVELLED DECK
The Fusion 5 LW features a 6-degree beveled deck edge from tip to tip that nicely blends into the Katana channels. The bevel decreases longitudinal flex for more pop, reduced reverse flex, and more powerful edging. Now we’re talking!
