More drive, increased agility and quicker. The new 2022 Kodes are a significant step forward. Are we promising too much? Come and try for yourself.
The versatile Kodes ensure a confident and smooth ride in choppy conditions. In wave mode, the Kode encourages you to achieve more radical turns than ever before – and get away with it in style. When the waves are flat, keep the action happening with the included freeride fin to maximise speed and drive. And fun.
We designed the Kodes to offer you the best onshore wave performance and excel in freeride, freewave and Bump & Jump.Time to play.
85, 95 & 105: ROUNDED TAILS AND NOSES
More curvature in the tail enhances radical turns and smooth wave rides. Going upwind, downwind, reaching or riding waves, the improved drive keeps you moving in tricky conditions.The rounded nose maintains a smooth ride in any conditions.
LOTS OF VOLUME – COMPACT SHAPE
Our larger volume Kode boards have loads of volume packed into a compact outline. The thin rails help these larger boards ride waves easily. With short nose and tail lengths, the bigger Kodes feel like a much smaller board under your feet, responding much more directly in manoeuvres.
SPEED, GRIP & CONTROL
The bottom shape blends a fast rocker along the centreline for maximum speed with more curved rockers on the sides. As you engage the rail, that added curvature on the sides of the Kode bites and you feel the board engaging into its carving arc.
SINGLE FIN: FAST & FUN
Set up your Kode with the included Drake FreeWave single fin and take it out in any conditions. With this set up the Kode doesn’t need waves to unleash its full potential. The classic single fin configuration provides plenty of speed, early planing and a very directional drive, much like a freeride board.
MORE WAVE PERFORMANCE
To get even more wave performance out of your Kode, simply use the thruster fin set up that also supplied with the board. You’ll quickly sense how the shorter centre fin and side fins add a new dimension of manoeuvrability, grip and stability to your Kode.
FINBOXES
Featuring two lightweight Starboxes and one US box (Powerbox on 125 & 135) the versatility doesn’t take a toll on the overall board weight.
The Starbox system allows you to fit Slot Box fins, quickly locating your last setting to get you on the water faster. Starbox is also compatible with US box fins.

CARBON REFLEX SANDWICH
THE FLAGSHIP CONSTRUCTION
The Carbon Reflex construction with its fluorescent orange colors is our lightest, most sturdy flagship construction and has some of the lowest warranty rates in the industry.
Using the lightest biaxial carbon they offer more feel, more responsiveness and more flex than conventional boards. On the water, this construction will provide you with ultimate performance. It delivers the most direct feedback from the water surface and allows for quicker and more precise movements. With the Carbon Reflex Kodes you’ll keep more speed through turns and wind holes, and start planing earlier. The Carbon Reflex is limited in stock, built to order with a four month delivery lead time.
