A longboard designed for noseriding

The Wildcard 3 was developed to maximize performance when moving towards the nose.

Its generous nose, combined with a pronounced concave, creates more lift and helps keep the board steady as you move forward.

This design allows for easier transitions between Hang Five and Hang Ten while maintaining excellent stability, even on long sections.

An evolving shape for a natural ride

The Wildcard 3 stands out for its particularly smart design.

Its shape is based on three complementary zones:

• a front section optimized for noseriding;
• a central zone promoting smooth and fast trimming;
• a rear section dedicated to precise turns and control.

The rolled bottom, which flattens gradually towards the tail, improves stability while facilitating direction changes.

The result is a longboard that can naturally adapt to your surfing style.

The Crescent Tail: a unique signature

An iconic element of the Wildcard, the Crescent Tail was originally conceived during a collaboration between Wayne Rich and Joel Tudor.

This particular shape optimizes water flow to:

• sink the tail further;
• increase nose lift;
• improve hold during noserides;
• provide better control in long turns.

This innovation greatly contributes to the performance that has built the Wildcard's reputation.

Tuflite Pro construction: lightness and durability

The Surftech Tuflite Pro Technology offers an ideal combination of performance and longevity.

It includes:

• a high-precision molded construction ensuring excellent uniformity;
• an Omega Glass lamination offering lightness and strength;
• HD PVC reinforcements increasing strength at sensitive points;
• reinforced carbon rails improving stiffness and responsiveness;
• a particularly sleek premium glossy finish.

This technology results in a board that is lighter, more impact-resistant, and more durable than traditional construction.
