SPACEAGENCY 2026: THE ULTIMATE FREERIDE CARBON MACHINE
The Reedin SPACEAGENCY 2026 is a high-performance carbon twintip that truly lives up to its name. At Infinity Sport, our more experienced instructors and advanced riders consistently reach for this board when they want a dynamic, lively session without compromising on comfort. It’s a premium piece of kit, but it absolutely delivers on its promise of an exhilarating and controlled ride.
OUR GENUINE TAKE: WHO IS IT FOR?
This board is built for intermediate to advanced freeriders who crave explosive pop for big air, appreciate a super comfortable ride through chop, and want precise control at high speeds. If you’re looking for a board that feels lively underfoot, offers soft landings even with knee or ankle sensitivities, and helps you push your jumping limits, the SPACEAGENCY 2026 is an excellent choice. It performs exceptionally well for riders generally in the 55-100kg range, depending on size.
The Reality Check
While incredible, the SPACEAGENCY 2026 isn’t for everyone. Beginners will find its high-performance nature a bit much to handle while learning the basics, and its carbon construction means it comes with a higher price tag. If you’re primarily focused on wakestyle or hitting features, this board isn’t designed for that kind of heavy abuse.
TECH SPEC (IN PLAIN ENGLISH)
- Triple Carbon Construction: Imagine a high-performance race car chassis – this board uses three different types of carbon fiber (12K, 3K, Unidirectional) precisely laid out to give you the perfect blend of flex, stiffness, and durability. This means a lively, responsive feel without being harsh.
- Torsion Control Frame: This is like having finely tuned suspension for your board. Cross-placed carbon stringers manage the board’s twist, giving you unmatched comfort and control, especially when riding through messy chop.
- Cored Out Core: Reedin has meticulously removed unnecessary weight from the core, only keeping strength where it’s truly needed. Think of it like a lightweight bicycle frame – strong where it counts, light everywhere else, making the board feel incredibly nimble.
- Rail Edging Channels: Unique channels are focused directly under each heel, providing effortless grip and allowing you to hold an edge with less effort. This translates to better upwind performance and more stored energy for jumps.
- Diamond Tips: The tips of the board are reinforced and shaped for better control, especially at high speeds, and contribute to smoother takeoffs for jumps. It’s like having a finely tuned nose on a surfboard, designed for precision.
- Explosive Pop: The board’s construction and flex pattern are designed to store energy as you load up for a jump, then release it with incredible force. This gives you that satisfying, powerful boost for massive air.
