Naish Mutatant Carbon Sandwich 2026

The Mutant Carbon Sandwich is a maneuver-oriented freeride board built for riders who like to mix it up. It is not a slalom board and it is not a pure wave board. It sits in the middle, fast and easy to ride, with the control to carve, jump, and play when conditions change.

Use it for coastal bump-and-jump, inland lake sessions, playful surf, and freeride cruising with a bit of freestyle. Multiple footstrap positions let you tune your stance for comfort, control, or a more surf-style feel. Thruster side slot boxes give you another layer of tuning, so you can set the board up to match the conditions and your riding preference.

A slight bottom bevel helps the board release cleanly and get going early without feeling twitchy from rail to rail. A balanced outline and a longer planing surface than a typical wave board improve early planing and carry speed with less effort.
The medium-high nose rocker is high enough to handle chop and wave conditions, while staying efficient on flatter water. The result is one board that stays fun and predictable across a wide range of spots and sessions.
