AHD 2018-21 SummerBoard Windsurf and SUP Board

AHD Summerboard RATIONALE

 GRAB A BARGAIN - LAST FEW OF THIS FANTASTIC ALL ROUND FAMILY BAORD ARE NOW ON SPECIAL OFFER!

The original version of the Sealion XL, the A-H-D Summerboard has the added advantage of fully padded deck and rails.

This is ideal configuration for Schools, and those families who want to have a do-it-all family board, with which to have fun every day!

SHAPE & SHAPE SPECIFICS are exactly those of the Sealion XL, plus the Full EVA Wrap Deck and Rails. Sealion XL Below.

Originally developed for a more friendly approach to SeaLion wind-sup-surfing and for larger surfers, the Sealion XL has proved its worth both in attracting more newcomers, and proving the weapon of choice of heavier riders, as Jeff Henderson's overall win in the 2011 Mondial Sealion on a Sealion XL has demonstrated.

Thanks to this, more and more riders have now joined the SeaLioner's Club which has its own community and forum @: http://www.sealion.ahd-boards.com/

Every year more riders to convene at the Mondial Sealion just for the fun to sail, paddle and party together

The family atmosphere of these events is the best demonstration of our belief that windsurfing can still be a great leisure activity which kids, men and women can ALL share.

The Sealion XL is a very stable board; it bobs-up on the white-water, thanks to the limited area impacting the wave. With a bottom designed to skim in 1-2 knots winds, it will plane at the very first breeze with even a small ground swell to assist.

Its surfing carves are neat and stable, thanks to excellent support on the voluminous rail in a bottom turn and instantaneous pivoting when later putting you weight on the back foot in the cut-back.

On a plane, this board will show a surprisingly good speed. Both gybes and tacks will be easy to master and it is an absolute delight for beach starts, slam gybes and riding backwards!

Bonuses:
- Larger surfers will finally have found the board they needed to join the SeaLion fray on very light winds days - The Sealion XL is an excellent stand-up-paddle board too!!

A 9' long "retro fish " shape, the AHD Sealion XL sports a 152
Litres volume, with a 75.6cm width. It is still a compact board.

As with the Sealion 8'3, the underwater shape is a continuous Vee.
Once more, the twin-fins set-up confirms it's excellence in light winds.

To allow some "further-upwind" action, we have fitted a central Power-Box, just aft of the mast-foot, so that a small "Centre Board fin" can be fitted, which really helps in light wind sailing and tuition. (board has a blanking plate supplied, fins for use a Centre Board can be supplied at exra cost)

Voluminous rails allow an excellent performance in the surf as well as giving very good stability.

A rather curved scoop delivers soft gliding and surfing performances.

Please note weight of 31 kilos is a shipping weight - Actual board weight is 11 to 12kg
