The Realest is Tristan Roberts (2019 & 2022 back-to-back World Champion) Pro-Model. Tristan Roberts has been riding for Pride Bodyboards since 2012 and has achieved remarkable success while riding the Realest.
The Realest is a pure-bred, fairly straight, prone template, featuring an additional thickness for increased volume and a wider outline compared to most pro-models in our range. This board is ideal if you're seeking a rocket-like speed that still provides buoyancy in small to medium conditions.

BOARD TECHNOLOGY
Core: KINETIC (K1.9) Constructed from premium grade 1.9lb density Polypropylene Kinetic Core delivers amazing projection and response .
Radial Flex (RF): Radial Flex® was developed using the latest CAD software with integrated Generative Structural Analysis, allowing us to observe how a board reacts under typical wave riding load and flexion. The data showed us that when the rider pulls up on the nose of the board, the resulting structural load is directed through to the elbow in a radial pattern, and not in a direct line from hand to elbow.Based on these findings we have developed the Dynamic Arc® technology. Constructed from a single beam of lightweight, high-tensile Divinycell structural foam, the Dynamic Arc® has been configured to disperse the structural load along its vertical surface.By extending the natural curve of the Dynamic Arc® through to the tail of the board, we were also able to create a unique load-bearing frame that not only enables instant transfer from compression load to projection, but also distributes impact stresses, such as those caused by heavy landings, along the entire length of the frame.
Stringer: CFT Stringer High-grade, lightweight filament wound composite-fibre tube for increased board strength and spring-like recoil.
Rails: This rail setup leaves less of your rail in the water and offers the rider less contact with the water and therefore better drive and speed throughout all conditions.
Channels: RRC Rail to Rail concave technology features a shorter single to double concave design with a central flat bridge between both sides, facilitating seamless rail-to-rail transitions. This flat section acts as a pivotal point, increasing the leverage of the rider's weight and enhancing control in critical wave conditions.
Slick: SURLYN SLICK DuPontTM Surlyn® slick is the finest grade bottom skin for a bodyboard because of it’s rubber like properties, superior recoil and resistance to scratching and wear and tear, hence the reason why Surlyn® is the universal skin used for Golf Balls.
Deck: WAVECUSHION 8lb NXLPE 8pcf non-crosslink Polyethylene outer skins. The premier skin for high performance bodyboarding.
Tail: Crescent Tail is the most popular crescent tail option. This tail will perform when driving, turning, carving and releasing.
Deck Contour: Dual purpose deck contouring specifically designed to create dedicated flex zones for torsional and nose-to-tail response, integrated with functional handgrip placement.
Slick Nose Bulbs: Raised nose grips shaped into the corners of the Surlyn ergonomically formed for fingertip control.
Tail Piece: A seperate piece on the tail for colour change from the deck of the board.
Slick Mesh: Diamond shaped mesh weave fused between the boards core and slick bottom skin for enhanced stiffness and recoil.
