A newly designed bamboo RocketFish HP combined with a set of an innovative piece of equipment, "Powder Plates", to create a powder-surfing craft that will enhance your bindingless riding experience to the next dimension. We've re-designed the Rocket Fish High Performance with an all bamboo + fiberglass construction to give it a supple yet strong-enough flex to accommodate the speed and control needed when powsurfing. No wood-core, no p-tex, no steel edges. Just bamboo and fiberglass. The most innovative part of this new equipment is the presence of the Powder Plates, originally conceived, designed and developed by our Finnish friend, Sami Wirkkala. The combination of those Plates with the newly designed board allows precise control without the need of bindings. The concave of the Powder Plates gives enough leverage to maneuver while not obstructing the overall flex of the board.
