CORE Ripper 5.1
A Timeless Classic for Every Wave
ALLROUND WAVE
Does the legendary Ripper 5 need an introduction? Probably not. Still made in the classic surfboard construction in combination with modern manufacturing technology, it is your loyal and durable companion who will reliably support you in a wide variety of conditions. With its shortboard outline complemented by elements of a fish shape and the progressive rocker, the Ripper 5 is ideal for every wave kiter and any wave from small waves to steep overhead breakers.
Now built in EPS composite sandwich construction, the Ripper is your loyal and durable companion who will reliably support you in a wide variety of conditions. Its new top deck made of the light T10 PET has excellent stiffness and strength and is therefore extremely robust against impacts.
