Description

The Bentley combines the toughness of compression moulding with the lightness of epoxy: this is Thermo Shell construction. Its hybrid shape, between skim and surf, makes it fast and manoeuvrable.

Who is it for?

For riders who are starting out or progressing and want a versatile board, in 132, 145 or 152 cm.

What sets it apart

Its two 3.6″ FCS fins give grip and drive on the wave, while still letting it release for tricks and slides on the lip.

Ride with rope: beginner, with its rope
Spark: beginner, school use
Scout: children, surf-style
Habit: skim-style, tricks

What else you need

A short, thick surf rope, such as the Connelly TORQ Surf Rope.
A board sock to protect it.
A vest or buoyancy aid of at least 50 N.

The right boat

Wakesurfing is only done behind an inboard boat, whose propeller sits under the hull: never behind an outboard or a sterndrive. Ballast and a wake shaper build the long wave you need to surf, at around 16 to 19 km/h.

The Connelly selection chart: the style of each board, and its ability level, from beginner (left) to expert (right).

On this model
Hybrid
A thin profile, fairly sharp rails and a deep surf-style fin: a lively, responsive board that can also draw big carves.

Compare with the others: Surf, Cruise, Skim

Surf
A range of rail shapes, outlines and fins, for different styles and abilities. There is more than one way to surf a wave: try them all.
Cruise
For getting on the water and finding your flow. A thicker profile and softer rails than a hybrid.
Skim
The board relies more on its rails than its fins. Loose and skate-inspired: spins, ollies and shove-its are far easier than on a thick board with big fins.

Fin set-up

On this model
Twin
With no centre fin, less resistance in the middle of the board: more speed, a board that releases easily in a slash and still holds in a bottom turn.

Compare with the others: Quad, Tri, Skate, Skim

Quad
The speed set-up: two front fins and two smaller ones at the back, all with flat foils. Water flows straight through without resistance, and the curved face gives lift and hold in the wave.
Tri
Probably the most common set-up: the large centre fin holds the line, the two flat-foiled side fins give speed and hold in the wave.
Skate
A through-bolted set-up, reliable, simple and customisable: three fins for stability, without the centre fin for a twin feel, without the side fins for a skim set-up.
Skim
For playing fast and loose: the board releases very easily, and spins and ollies come without effort.

Construction

On this model
Thermo Shell
The strength of a compression-moulded board and the shaping freedom of an epoxy board: strong, light and made to send it. From top to bottom: EVA pad, Thermo Shell top, 1 layer of fibreglass, EPS core, 1 layer of fibreglass, Thermo Shell base.

Compare with the others: Skelecore, Compression, Epoxy

Skelecore
A core shaping technique that reduces its mass: the fibres react faster and more naturally. From top to bottom: EVA pad or Ghost grip, top graphics, 2 layers of fibreglass, Skelecore EPS core, full-length wood stringer, 2 layers of fibreglass, base graphics.
Compression
Moulded under pressure, the board is thin, stiff and strong; beginners and skim riders benefit from its sharp rail. From top to bottom: EVA pad, top graphics, 2 layers of fibreglass, EPS or PU core, 2 layers of fibreglass, base graphics.
Epoxy
The construction surf shapers have always used: a very light, buoyant and responsive board that allows almost any shape. From top to bottom: EVA pad or Ghost grip, top graphics, 2 layers of fibreglass, EPS core, full-length wood stringer, 2 layers of fibreglass, base graphics.
