The
Royal High Five was designed to create a board for riders wanting a true all around board to maximize their time and fun on the water. If you want to ride waves, jump, and explore all the facets that our sport has to enjoy, or simply be the first and last one on the water, look no further than the High Five. With a bomber sandwich construction, the multiple footstrap and FCS fin inserts can take you from wave, skim, race or twintip board configurations and performance in the twist of a screwdriver.
The
Placebo Surf Skate has become the staple with these kinds of surfboards but the Royal High Five takes it a step further. The shape is similar to the Surf Skate but the High Five offers many more options including mulitiple inserts to install footstraps in many combinations. The High Five also features 7 FCS fin boxes to set up the board however you wish. These combinations allow you to use the High Five as a Surfboard, a Raceboard, a Skimboard or even a Twintip.
When set up similar to the Placebo, the biggest difference it has is the angle of it's fins. The shape of the tails between the two are almost identical. The High Five has a little more weight to it which I think is great when riding strapless. It also feels stronger than the Placebo.
