On the Buddy 2R (raised entrance rocker, single→triple with accented double, rails low boxy, tail a little wider), you start early, keep the speed and pass rail-to-rail without forcing. The FCS II Performer EcoBlend in thruster balance speed / drive / pivot Clean clothes in the pocket, carves response thanks to EcoBlend flex. Result: a modern, fast and forgiving shortboard - perfect for daily driver when you want performance without fighting with the board.

FCS Ⅱ - Performer - EcoBlend - Thruster
A curly-haired man, dressed all in white, poses lying on his side on a large rug in the shape of a polar bear, smiling and resting his head on one hand, against a plain, light background.
