But the GRIP 3 and FreeWave Ultra also impressed especially the FreeWave in D/LAB construction. Its a serious performance option now. Sam LathamTest Session Summary: Location: Hot Pipes, Hove (near Brighton)Date: July 2025 Conditions: Surprisingly solid for summer, perfect for pushing the boards in real UK surf.While the GRIP Ultra is the most radical of the three, ideal for high-performance wave riders, the GRIP 3 has had a big update and now feels easier, more forgiving, and more accessible for everyday UK conditions.The FreeWave Ultra, particularly in the D/LAB construction, bridges the gap between control and radical performance and its a game changer for those who want a freestyle-wave feel with waveboard potential.Key Highlights:GRIP Ultra: Shorter nose, longer tail, very compact and technical. Slower to plane but excels in powerful waves. Ideal in D/LAB construction.GRIP 3: Fast, easy to plane, forgiving through jibes, and stable a great board for progressing wave riders. Updated shape makes it even more versatile.FreeWave Ultra (D/LAB): Super light, highly capable, and now a real option for those who want one board to do it all. Great for jumps, wave riding, and freestyle.Construction Insights:D/LAB Ultra-light, ultra-reactive. Best for technical riders and aerials.SLS Slightly heavier but great control and durability.
