Johanne’s board is suitable for young teens or smaller adults between 5.1" to 5.6". A deeper concave is a favorite of barefoot riders and enables maneuvers such as: Round House Turns, Drawn out Carves and Grab Rail turns.
The 31″ Johanne Defay Pro model is one of the newest of the SmoothStar Surf Trainers. It has been closely developed with Female pro Surfer Johanne Defay and mimics her powerful carving surf turns. The 31″ model has the deepest concave of all of the smaller high performance models under 32.5″. The deeper concave enables riders to hold the rail more than other models and helps maintain compression through the turn, just like surfing.
Johanne Defay is not only one of the best surfers in the world but she's also an inspiration to many women and young girls. Johanne joined the SmoothStar team back in 2017 and is known for her dedication and hard work ethic to training and getting strong. Johanne is born and bread from a the tiny island in Reunion Island but competes under the french flag.
The 31" Johanne Defay model comes with the new SmoothStar Thruster D technology. The Thruster D is the latest in precision engineering that gives surfers the ultimate surf feeling with 12%-15% more hold. It's also lighter and comes with a 5 year warranty.
