Got the 2023 Supreme this year and it is by far my favorite board I've ever ridden. Has a ton of kick but also super fast on the water. Lands super soft as well. Could not ask for a better board!
Hey, Jake. I have the 2022 Supreme board, and I just grabbed the 2024. I was comparing them directly today, and the main thing I noticed that was different between the two, other than the weight, was the "speed walls" on the toe and heel side edges. They both appear to have pretty much EXACTLY the same shape otherwise. Right? What specifically does that flat sidewall do on the 23/24 compared to the 22? I heard how you described it in the video, but does it simply reduce chances of catching an edge when doing surface rotations or landing sideways? Does it reduce water flow (less drag?) over the top side of the board on those edges since it's less of a sharp blade and more of a wall? Do you notice a difference riding with a sharp versus speed-wall edge if everything else is the same? I have many other boards in the shed, and I've noticed that the main difference between most edges seems to be in three main categories: "speed wall" edge, a sharp knife edge, or an upturned edge like on the Murray pro boards. I know the upturned edges on the Murray boards are for sure to help reduce chances of catching those edges and smacking down (I've noticed that when riding), but I wasn't sure what the tall side walls do specifically. Thanks for the info! P.S. these Supreme boards are really in a category all their own.. It's super interesting. They are just BARELY continuous rocker in the center section, and the three stage rockers are definitely much bigger than most other three-stage rocker boards... Like the point at which they angle upward is more towards the center of the board than most boards, if that makes sense. And it's also a pretty significant angle compared to most other three-stage rocker boards as well. The 2022 board definitely drags on my arms a lot more then any of my other three stage or continuous rocker boards, it was noticeable, but the pop is also way more noticeable than any other three stage rocker that I've ridden. It's pretty awesome. Everybody needs one in the collection for sure, lol. I haven't ridden the 2024 yet, but I have ridden boards with those tall/flat sidewall edges, and it's just hard to tell exactly what they do.
Hi! Hope you love the '24 Supreme! as for your questions: In addition to the speedwalls, we changed the rocker line to be more blended between the continuous and 3 stage. We shortened flat spot on the 3 stage edges to bring the rocker lines closer together with the goal of adding speed, predicability, and a more controlled roll onto edge. The flat speedwall makes the board sit higher in the water when on edge, reducing drag and making it easier to generate speed into the wake. I believe there is a very noticeable difference between a board with speedwalls and one without. I hope you like the changes! I believe it became a much more user friendly board with these updates. Less drag, less swing weight, and more predicability. Thanks for the questions and hope this answer is helpful! P.S. thank you for the kind words!
@@JakePelot Cool, thanks for the additional explanation. I have not ridden the 2024 version yet, I plan on comparing the 22 and 24 versions this weekend if the weather is nice!
I ride the 141 and weight about 175lbs. I have been on the same size for a while, but with how light boards are now I think you can get away with riding a little bigger!
Hey man I'm looking at the supreme. Biggest it comes is a 145. I weigh 225. Just seeing if it'll be too small for me or not? If so I'll look at the rxt that comes at 148. Thanks
Hey! I think the 145 will work well! It stays pretty wide through the tips so plenty of surface area. It’s also pretty fast on the water so that’ll help too. Hope you love it!!🙌

What size you ride and what's your lbs? Are you favouring a longer board than previous years?
I ride the 141 and weight about 175lbs. I have been on the same size for a while, but with how light boards are now I think you can get away with riding a little bigger!
