Our stock is on the way to us. Order now and you'll get it early October.
Our team riders have been putting this board through the ringer in the photoshoot in Cape Town and they've got this to say:
Our favorite board just got lighter and it's even got adjustable rocker (the bend in the board)! What's adjustable rocker? Well, the grab handle can be twisted to adjust the rocker by 15mm.
Probably the highest strength per mass board on the market. It's 100g lighter than the Imperator 6. This light weight makes board-offs and old-school a pleasure. Despite being so lightweight, our team riders have yet to snap one- thanks to Carved's improved Cartan 2 Carbon build. Everything about this board shouts 'German Engineering!'
How light is light?
Well the 135cm weighs only 1.9kg (excl fins and handle), which is the lightest board we've ever gotten our hands on!

Unhooking report
*In contrast to the wakestyle twintip Tantrum, the Imperator is strictly designed for straps. You void all warranty claims if you install boot bindings on the Imperator Edition board.
It feels like
Sturdy, lightweight and most notably springy. There is a moderate amount of flex in the board that allows you feel the water beneath your feet beautifully.
Quality report
The landings and crashes in big air can be extremely taxing for a board and we've seen many carbon fiber boards not live up to the challenge - but not the Imperator!
