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: Single to Double Concave SDC+ technology enhances grip on the face of the waves and enables greater control in hollow sections.Thanks to a light gradual concave AKU shaped on the lower third of both rails, this technology will help you scoop with ease at your local slab, giving you the most control in hollow waves. On the other hand, the concave rails won’t affect your speed and trajectory when you are on the glidingphase,making the most of your Single to Double concave bottom contour. SDC+ will provide you with as much lift and speed in small condition as our SDC boards.
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: Bat tail bodyboards are less curved in their profile, have a much wider finish and employ a ‘W’ looking tail. The overall idea of this concept is to provide more surface area to land on, more release through the tail shape and more speed through the emphasised hull. These tails can be a lot harder to control however, as for the limited hull area.
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.
Slick Mesh: Diamond shaped mesh weave fused between the boards core and slick bottom skin for enhanced stiffness and recoil.
