Surfboard RRD Barracuda V3 CLASSIC

Designed, tested, and developed by Ralf Bachschuster, The Barracuda V3 was created to be used for strapped-in riding, but is also loved by many strapless riders. These phenomenal sticks are very fast, securely grip the water, and deliver an abundance of hold in the most extreme conditions

The third version of this power house has an entirely redesigned outline. Our goal was to take this radical shape and make it more well rounded for all to enjoy it’s high-end performance. The maximum width has been moved forward to allow more parallel lines towards the tail while the nose has been slightly widened to create a better balance and improved control and comfort. The new Barracuda V3 is easier to ride and more comfortable both in light winds and strong winds and now fits within a true “one board that does it all” program.

In addition, the new pintail winger tail was introduced with the idea to slightly increase tail width for better upwind performance when the back foot is moved forward, in front of the strap, and then drastically reducing the tail width right after the winger for an incredibly quick response and insane turns! The full mono-concave hull with heaps of rocker on the tail makes planing fast and holding control on choppy waters a breeze.

Developed and tested in Cape Town by one of the most influential and radical kiteboarders in the South African kite scene, the Barracudas are not only fast boards that were born to handle full power but can now be revered as the one and only board you need in your quiver!

• Slightly wider outline towards the nose with a pintail winger tail to increase control and comfort while allowing great turning potential with plenty grip.
• Full mono-concave hull with heaps of rocker on the tail. Planing fast and holding control on choppy waters.
• Thicker volume mid section in between your feet to allow floatation and keeping momentum at lower speed.
• Thin rail profile on nose and tail to allow best grip at high speed and lower the volume to keep the weight down.
