Full-Flex system for comfort, pop and control

The Full-Flex system is the heart of the Tessier Swaik. It allows for longitudinal movement of the frame on the board, so that the wakeboard board can maintain its natural flex. For a adapted wakeboard, this feature is important because it influences comfort, response in the water and jumping behavior.

The frame is adjustable for multiple body types. The front of the seat can be adjusted to adapt the height to the length of the legs, and the rear allows the seat angle to be adjusted according to the rider's mobility. The center of gravity can be adjusted on the board to find the ideal position between stability, control and performance.
