Four-time World Champion Ashley Kidd Oh, you need more? The AK is as dynamic as the rider behind it. Ashley's progressive style demands a shape that is ultra-responsive up and down the wave. Added tail rocker allows lightning quick turns, and a tip-to-tail concave base design combined with a relatively narrow width make the AK the fastest reacting board in the Connelly line. Increased maneuverability makes it easier for riders to generate speed for locked in bottom turns, big spray slashes, or above-the-lip aerials.
