RC: “When Patrik was asking me about my preferences for a board I just told him to make it fast, very good at turning, early planing and most importantly – strong!”
The Ricardo Campello Pro Models are the original shapes used by Campello himself in PWA World Tour competitions. For more than a year now we have tested over 16 different prototype models at spots that span the entire globe.
No compromises! A three-times world champion like Ricardo holds a zero tolerance approach when it comes to compromises, ensuring his performance on the water is totally unrestricted. Ricardo’s style is arguably the highest risk and most radical on the PWA Tour. Therefore Ricardo´s specifications were very simple for his boards: highly responsive, maximum control and extreme durability.
The PATRIK Campello Wave is the first Quad in our product range. Ricardo is convinced in the function of four fins because they give more grip in radical turns. The five sizes cover the entire wind range that a board like this would be suitable for. The concept of all Campello Waveboards is very much the same. The smallest board, the Campello Wave 69 is designed for maximum control in strong winds, as you move up the sizes the shape has been finely tuned to optimize your get-up-and-go with an ability to plan fast and free across the waves.
If you are after a Quad wave board with no compromise that extends from a true champion then you just found it in the Campello Wave.
RC: “Honestly PD has made me the best boards I’ve ever had. He is just so precise on everything. Everything I asked him to make in a board he did, plus they are the strongest boards I’ve ever used!“
