Tribe Raven Bodyboard

Tribe has always had the DK crew in mind, since Jay is a passionate 50/50 prone/DK disciple. The Raven refines bodyboard design into the ultimate jackstance vehicle. Throw the tail, pack a pit, or just cruise (or even stand-up ride) on this ripstick. We've built it with our best 1.9pcf PP core, two premium carbon fiber stringers, a Surlyn slick with slick mesh, and graduated channels, then added the Flip Tip nose so you can drop in later and drive those roundhouse carves even harder. Rip, tear, and lacerate on the Raven.

WHO IS THIS BOARD FOR?

Ideal Rider Profile

• Riding Style: Dropknee, with stand-up capability.
• Equipment Preference: Riders who want a premium PP board built for DK.
• Construction: 1.9pcf PP core with two carbon fiber stringers and slick mesh.

Best Suited For

• Dropknee riders looking for the ultimate jackstance vehicle.
• Riders who like to throw the tail, pack a pit, or cruise.
• Riders who want late drops and harder roundhouse carves from the Flip Tip nose.

WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE?

1.9pcf PP Core: Our best high-density polypropylene core.

Two Premium Carbon Fiber Stringers: Double carbon fiber reinforcement.

Slick Mesh and Surlyn Slick: Mesh reinforcement under a premium Surlyn bottom.

HOW DOES IT COMPARE?

The Raven and the Wolf both carry Jay's Flip Tip nose. The Raven is the dedicated DK board with a 1.9pcf PP core, two carbon fiber stringers, and a Surlyn slick with slick mesh. The Wolf is Jay's prone and DK combo board with a 1.5pcf PP core, a 3/4-length carbon fiber stringer, and Tension Tech double mesh.
