The Eiki Pro screams jib weapon, and fair enough, you just have to take a look at Eiki Helgason riding and you can see exactly what it’s been engineered for. It’s one of the softest boards on the market and it’s perfect for getting those flatland tricks down and for effortless pressing and buttering around.
Despite the super soft tip to tail flex, it’s not all loosey goosey, it has carbon stringers running directly underneath the bindings to give you a better edge to edge response. It stiffens the board up marginally directly underfoot to deliver you more control.
“Perfect for freestyle progression, it’s a massive confidence boost when you want to expand your trick repertoire”

Like all Lobster boards it’s tip to tail full camber, this is gonna translate to explosive pop as the board is essentially always spring loaded. Despite being a jib stick, the camber allows it to still ride piste without too much trouble, it’s not the board for smashing icy black runs but you can still get around from A to B.
It utilises Jib 3BT which has a super wide flat section down the centre for added balance and stability when hitting rails and boxes. It has bevelled edges outside the bindings, which make for a wildly forgiving ride, no need to stomp landings anymore, you can afford to be pretty sketchy and still get away with it. Perfect for freestyle progression, it’s a massive confidence boost when you want to expand your trick repertoire.
The Wallie tips are blunted for reduced swing weight and rounded up to give you a little more leeway as you’re boosting it off hard features. Ideal for park rats, stuntin’ in the streets and buttery madness.
