Pure Raceboard competition- completely re-designed for 2012, the Blade RB has a long history in raceboard competitions. Courseboard racing (longboards with centerboards) need specific designs that drive upwind in displacement mode, then blast downwind in full planing mode- with the mastfoot moved to the rear of the mast track. Blade RB full body curves push in low-end power, Blade RB trim reactivity allows the RB to streamline for upper-end ease. The 5-batten Loftsails Blade RB is competitive course racing made easy.

- ITS Internal Batten Tensioning System: top 3 all-carb tube battens with the batten tensioners located at the front, behind the mast. Weight optimization for extreme leech response.
