This innovative design makes the layers more durable and resilient than ever before, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable performance.

For added comfort, the Great Bear boasts an ultra-comfortable "Honey Homb" embossed deck pad that provides easy grip and soft support for your feet. The board also features 8-point front tie-downs with bungee cargo cordage and 6-point rear tie-downs with bungee cordage, allowing you to securely store your gear for extended expeditions.
