Who's the Dream Rider Funboard for

For those riders insisting anything they ride is PU, the Dream Rider PU is their go-to board. Featuring a double-winged tail setup and vintage construction, two small but pronounced shifts in the rail line enhance the maneuverability of your Dream Rider PU.

Typically, these "wings" allow shapers to utilize the more loose-turning characteristics of a wider tail ahead of the wings and combine this with the holding power of the narrower tail immediately following them. Kym Thompson chooses to use this design feature as the wings break and shorten the length of the rail line, making the board looser and more playful.

Key design elements

• The NSP Dream Rider is a Kym Thompson shape and in terms of performance, Dream Rider shapes are designed for both aspiring surfers and intermediate surfers, looking to catch more waves and improve their skills in the fastest way possible.

• Stable and performance-oriented for fast-tracking skills, ample nose area which adds paddle power for easy wave catching and driving in smaller waves.
• The exotic double rail wing rounded pintail maximizes stability and shortens the radius of the turn giving a quicker and snappier riding board.
