9"6' Higher State Frission Orange Tan- 9'6 x 23 1/8 x 3
9'6 Higher State Frission
The World Title Winning Model.
The Higher State Frission
The Higher State Frission is engineered for the surfer who wants to drive a longboard with absolute intent. It represents a paradigm shift in contemporary design, blending the refined trim and glide of a heritage log with the aggressive, high speed capability of a modern racing machine.
As the exact model Kai Ellice Flint piloted to his 2025 WSL World Title, this craft is the pinnacle of professional grade equipment.
How It Surfs
The Frission is built for surfers who want to attack the pocket, draw powerful lines, and experience a contemporary version of longboarding at full throttle.
Kai describes the Frission as a "one board quiver" designed to be the highest performing craft in the water while maintaining a smooth, composed feel.
It remains stable when trimming high on the face, yet it is capable of explosive projection and instant direction changes the moment you engage the tail.
Technical Breakdown
Continuous Trim Velocity
A sophisticated flat panel midsection and carefully rolled rails allow the Frission to sit high on the water’s surface and generate immediate speed.
Breakpoint Tail Release
A strategic tail kick beginning approximately 5 to 6 inches from the rear allows the board to release and project firmly off the tucked hard edge.
Reactive Engagement
The neutral rocker and subtle transitions reward active surfing with immediate response to back foot pressure.
Optimized Lift
A specialized concave featuring a breakpoint in the stringer generates lift and stability for extended technical noserides.
Board Breakdown
The Feel
Reactive, precise and built to be pushed hard through critical sections.
Wave Type
Knee high point peelers through to 15 foot overhead surf.
Skill Level
Intermediate to Professional.
Ideal Conditions
Steeper, performance oriented waves where control and projection matter.
Kai's Dimensions
9'7" x 23 1/8" x 3 1/16"
