*ALL OASI BOARDS ARE WHITE BASE / DECK WITH FINS
*NOTE – We can’t stress it enough but this board is really designed to be ridden longer, the width and rocker are made to accommodate that, riding it in a length similar to most other boards on the market may make it feel like a much slower board than you’re used to, the extra length of a bigger size allows you to have a more aggressive rocker line without the drawbacks that would create on a shorter board. If you want something closer to a traditional “kiteboard” ride the Quill instead.
Size up or down depending on what discipline you do most and what feel you like on the water (there's no hard rules on this).
Those looking for a new feeling on the water, or perhaps something closer to the feeling they are used to on the Snow will love the Wraith.
Primarily designed as a finless Freeride, Fun, Park board, we recommend riding it finless for the full experience and maximum glide. The Wraith still has the fin holes marked if you want to drill them out yourself and add some extra grip.
The Wraith due to the narrower width and rounder nose and tail is designed to be ridden 10-20cm longer than your typical board. The 159cm Wraith has less overall surface area than either the 155cm Tranq or Quill, which is why it also weighs less.
The effective rail line of the 159 is actually closer to that of a 150-152 regular shaped board (such as Tranq), whilst the 149 Wraith is closer to that of a 140-142 regular board, this might further help understand the sizing of this board.
It’s parabolic rail and flat base offers the most central flex pattern and flattest overall rocker line. The flatter rocker line and added central flex allows the parabolic rail to grip the water better during carves and gives you a better low wind experience because of the reduced drag, this helps make it a less fatiguing board to ride on cable or kite.
In general we recommend riders at 70KG+ to ride the 159, whilst those 55KG+ should be at home on the 149. There’s no definitive answer for this however as this board is all about fun. The 159 may also prove a great light wind fun board.
If you want a new experience on the water, try the Wraith, you might find yourself enjoying riding a twin-tip again!
