Thread: Addvance in WhiteRapidfire construction

  1. #1

    Addvance in WhiteRapidfire construction

    I’m in the market for a 7’2” Addvance and not sure if I should wait for availability in the Whiterapidfire technology.

    Can anybody tell me if the Addvance board is available in Whiterapidfire construction in the USA?

    Can anybody tell me the pros / cons (is one lighter more durable, etc.) regarding regular Rapidfire construction versus Whiterapidfire construction?

    Thanks.

    Do you mean white FST? I don't think they make an ADDvance in FST as the balsa rails on such a chunky board would be all wrong. I have had a 702 ADDvance in Rapidfire construction. They are very strong and durable. It is a great board

    There's a new construction that's just been unveiled. RF with a white PVC and VOC free composite deck skin instead of the bamboo.

    There hasn't been any real info as to whether all boards will be available in that construction, whether it's a limited run or whether they can be special ordered.
    Hopefully Chris can chime in with more info soon!

    Hey Guys,

    White rapidfire, same deal as the bamboo counterpart, but the bamboo sheet has been substituted out for a white PVC-free VOC-free composite. Pretty cool, environmentally responsive stuff with a great twang and lively flex. The major objective with white rapidfire was to offer a different aesthetic without changing the performance or durability.

    I have a bunch of them now and love them. Can't wait to get me a white Dominator...

    So what does this mean? Right now limited availability in the following models: Alternator, Hellrazor, Dominator, Spitfire, Hellfire and Sweet Potato. That line will absolutely grow, but this is where we are starting!

    The Addvance won't be offered in that tech to start, but that certainly doesn't mean it never will...

    Pass along any more questions you have!
