The State series is a shape that you don't have to learn how to ride, it will perform comfortably for all ability levels and styles. The State is shaped differently from edge to edge helping a rider compensate for the awkwardness of edging, jumping and landing on a toe side edge. Our subtle 3-stage rocker provides a great pop off the wake while remaining a smooth carver. The State is a great board for riders getting into the sport or those who are looking for advancement in their skills on the board.
