GOODDAY 2026: THE LIGHTWEIGHT RIDER’S PERFORMANCE TWINTIP
The Reedin GOODDAY 2026 is a high-performance twintip board specifically engineered for lighter riders. At Infinity Sport, our lighter instructors and students rave about its responsive feel and precision. It’s not just a smaller board; it’s a finely tuned instrument designed to unlock maximum progression for those who don’t need the brute power of a heavier rider’s setup.
OUR GENUINE TAKE: WHO IS IT FOR?
This board is ideal for intermediate to advanced riders in the 45-75kg range who are looking for a lively, responsive board for freeride, freestyle, and carving. If you’re a lighter rider who feels overpowered or struggles to get the most out of standard-sized boards, the GOODDAY 2026 will feel like it was custom-made for you, offering exceptional control and pop.
The Reality Check
While fantastic for its target audience, the GOODDAY 2026 isn’t the best choice for heavier riders (above 75kg) who will find it too soft and narrow. Absolute beginners might also find its performance-oriented design a bit too responsive initially; we usually recommend something with a bit more surface area and a softer, more forgiving flex for those first few sessions.
TECH SPEC (IN PLAIN ENGLISH)
- Double Sandwich Stringer: Think of it like the core of a high-performance ski. This construction gives the board precise twist control, meaning it responds exactly how you want it to when you put pressure on it, and it springs back quickly for lively pop.
- Concave Bottom with Triple Channels: This isn’t just for looks. The full concave shape, combined with three channels in the tips, acts like a set of rails on a train track, giving you incredible grip and control, especially when you’re loading up for a jump or carving hard.
- Progressive Flex: The board’s stiffness is carefully varied along its length. It’s not just uniformly soft; it’s tuned to give you the perfect amount of flex where you need it for a smooth ride, excellent pop, and responsive turns.
- Rail Edging Channels: These subtle channels along the bottom edge of the board create a natural “lock” with the water. This means you don’t have to work as hard to hold an edge, giving you more grip and control with less effort.
- Triple Swallow Tips: These unique tips reduce the board’s surface area at the very ends, but maintain the effective rail length. This allows you to really dig in and push the board harder when edging for massive jumps, without feeling like the tips are catching.
- Easy Grab Rails: The top deck of the board has a clever 3D shaping around the rails. This makes it super easy to get a secure grip with your fingers when you’re going for those stylish board-off grabs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Q: Is the GOODDAY 2026 only for women?
A: Not at all! While many lighter riders are women, this board is designed for anyone in the 45-75kg weight range who wants a performance-oriented twintip. It’s about body weight and power, not gender.
Q: Can a beginner use this board?
A: We’d generally recommend this board once you’ve got your basics down and are looking to progress into jumping, carving, and more advanced freeride. For absolute beginners, a slightly larger, more forgiving board might offer an easier learning curve initially.
Q: What makes it specifically good for lighter riders?
A: Reedin has tuned the outline (narrower), flex (softer progressive), and channel design to match the power input of lighter riders. This means you get the same lively, responsive feel that heavier riders get from their boards, without feeling overpowered or struggling to engage the rail.
Q: What kind of riding style is the GOODDAY 2026 best suited for?
A: It truly shines for freeride, freestyle, and carving. If you love to jump, boost, carve hard, and generally have a playful, dynamic session, this board will deliver. It’s incredibly versatile for performance-oriented riding.
