The Whip V3 features an overhaul to the board outline for this year. John Akerman was looking to taper his skimboard tastes back to a more original Pro shape, but with a twist for the Whip V3. The outline features an unconventional pulled-in bat tail with a wider mid-section to a pin nose. Overall, the Whip V3 gives you all the feels of a traditional skimboard shape with a slight tail modification that provides the board with a ton of speed. It comes in a 3/4” tapered core for ultimate control and comes standard with an E-Glass™ layup and carbon stringer for added performance.
