[LEVEL] Expert/Wave
Using the succesful Mistral Beast 2005 models as a base, all three boards have been shortened in length, and a revised concave bottom shape helps to increase the nose rocker to punch through the whitewater without purling, and also helps on backloop entry's.

[The Secrets behind the Beast]
Scoop-Rocker-Line | A wave rocker that has been refined over the years to provide that best performance in conjunction with maximum manoeuvrability.
[x] A smooth flat rocker-line for early planning, and an effortless ride through choppy water
 [x] Great top speed makes the Mistral Beast line not only great in the waves, but also as an excellent high wind performance board regardless of the size of the waves
Outline | Shorter in length, but still big in performance
[x] An outline that has been developed to work in the widest range of conditions from the demanding side shore conditions of Hookipa to side on or off conditions.
[x] New shorter length helps with the swing weight, and enables you to get into the sweet spot of each wave for the most radical performance.
Bottom Concept | Progressive Vee
[x] Vee that increase from your front feet back that helps to flatten out the rocker which smoothes out the ride and increases top speed. This also enhances steering of the board directly underfoot.
Rail Profile | Low aspect with increased tuck
[x] Smooth controlling radius rails that help to grip in aggressive performance turns.
[x] Soft rails with increased tuck provide a soft ride through choppy water and enhance the manoeuvrability as well.
[x] These rails also help to control the volume displacement of the board, allowing it the widest possible wind range for the volume.
Tail Outline | Swallow tail
[x] An efficient way to increase surface area that enhances early planning, yet still allows maximum performance in aggressive transitions.
Technology | Carbon-Kevlar-Sandwich
[x] Most durable sandwich technology for light weight waveboards in the market
[x] Carbon-Kevlar in combination with multiaxial-glass layers gives the deck max. breakage-resistance
[x] Hardfoam -Double Sandwich in deck and bottom for max. impact resistance
[x] U - Carbon-Kevlar Stringer in the bottom increase the breakage forces
[x] Wood – Carbon patches in the foostrap-area avoids partial structural damages (...from the feed- after high jump landing)
