The Stretch IT (standing for ‘Individual Transportation’) is the Stretch brand’s most iconic and enduring mid-length model. A true design oxymoron, it cleverly combines the width, stability and paddling comfort of a longboard at the front with the responsiveness and nimble manoeuvrability of a shortboard at the rear. Its unique outline features a tapered stinger tail profile combined with contoured rails to ensure ultra-precise turn initiation and optimum control at high speed. Featuring an aggressive rocker, it demonstrates rare versatility, excelling just as much on mediocre everyday beach breaks as on the most perfect point breaks and reefs. A timeless, top-of-the-range hybrid model available at Waïmea in Anglet and on waimea.fr.
The comfort of a longboard with the manoeuvrability of a shortboard!

CFT Controlled Flex Technology
Whether you’re young or not so young, stocky or tall, a beginner looking for thrills or a seasoned surfer, if you’ve so far steered clear of longboards because of their limited manoeuvrability, their considerable weight and their general lack of responsiveness, the IT is undoubtedly the wake-up call that will introduce you to the world of manoeuvrable boards over 7 feet. A true oxymoron in surfboard design, the IT is curved, elegant and fast whilst remaining wide, efficient and stable, offering great versatility in surf conditions ranging from mediocre to epic. The Stinger tail profile combines a narrower tail shape for greater manoeuvrability and control, whilst the sleek, streamlined rails provide precise engagement at high speed to carve into the wave. Ideal for medium beach breaks, point breaks and reef breaks with sculpted waves and long sections. An aggressive rocker profile, combined with longboard width at the front and a shortboard feel at the rear, makes the IT an underrated board with unlimited potential. It’s neither a scaled-down longboard nor an oversized shortboard. It’s an IT!
