About this board

The Focus is the performance counterpart to the Prime: a stiffer, more locked-in twintip tuned for loaded pop and committed big-air riding. The rail grips hard under full power, converting board speed into height instead of spray. It asks for active legs through chop and rewards them with a direct, energetic ride that progressing freestylers grow into rather than out of.
