It’s hard to believe that it has been nearly three years since I’ve shaped a new boat. I’ve been seriously thinking about it for almost a year. Now, it’s done! A new weapon is coming out of my workshop. To create this gem I used a different approach this time, computer-aided design. This allows for more precision and to get a much better understanding of shapes and curves. By mixing this new method with the old fashion techniques, the Hélixir was born.
Fives months, 50 tests, and six protoypes were absolutely necessary to make this new design perfect! The evolution of the protoptypes has been possible with the help a lot of different people. It’s with their feedback that everything finally came together, especially that of Mathieu Dumoulin, who has been working with us for quite some time.

The main idea was to combine all the good characteristics of the last 2 shapes: the carving ability and the speed of the 2010, with the hole-surfing agility of the 2008 Easymix.
Right from the start, we figured that we could do better than simply combining the two shapes together. We wanted the boat to be better in every aspect and decided we wouldn’t stop until our mission was complete. This gave us the opportunity to push the limits.

The boat is faster, goes bigger and it’s even easier to paddle than ever before. It’s this last feature that the boat greatly improved. We wanted a boat that is more user-friendly, allowing the paddler to set up and throw tricks easier than ever.
Unlike other new shapes, which make some moves more difficult to do than before like cartwheeling and certain vertical moves, the new Guigui lets you do every trick with ease. If you want to spend the day doing superclean spins, you can!
The same is true even for doing some old-shcool moves such as cartwheels and trickywoos.
You can go do the biggest Mcnasty ever or even create new combos.
Everything is possible now in this new boat.

There is only one limit, YOURSELF !
