Below is the list of icons you will see throughout the entire catalogue and website. These icons will offer a new level of information enabling you to make the best possible decision when purchasing your new traktor. WAVE HEIGHT All boards are tested and developed through hours of surfing by the team and JS (tough job) and the wave heights illustrated (in the coloured circles) are what R&D have found best suits that model. FIN ICONS. The fin icon next to each board model gives you an idea on what fin set-ups that model was designed to work best with. The fin type displayed will be the way you will find it in store - Unless custom ordered. See below for explanations on each fin variation.

Twin fin + Stabilizer (2 large side fins and a small back trailer fin).

RAIL TYPE. These are a basic guide only. There are many rail variances that change slightly on every model, all the way from very low and hard to full and soft. We have broken these into 5 simple descriptions to give an idea on where that model’s rail type sits. The letters next to the icons give you an idea on the characteristics of that rail type.
