Airush Cypher v4 Reflex Glass Surfboard

The Cypher is built for strapless freestyle and speed. The shape logic is the inverse of the competition Comp: a flatter rocker instead of a high one, a compact outline and parallel rails. That combination gives stability at speed — exactly what you need when the board has to track straight and land flat under your feet after a rotation.

A single-to-double concave keeps the surf heritage and softens the rocker, so it never becomes a plank.

Reflex Glass: tougher and cheaper than carbon with the flex retained. Offset strap inserts mean it rides strapless or strapped.

Who it isn't for. Big, steep waves aren't its element. Anyone chasing minimum weight wants the carbon version. And down-the-line riding calls for the high-rocker Comp.
