OUTLINE
Generous outline curve with a special hip. The generous outline curve offers great maneuverability both forehand and backhand enabling the board to be surfed radically. The hip allows the board to still keep a slightly straighter section of rail, helping with tracking and down the line speed. It also adds a pivot point over the fins making it turn radically when you get your foot further back.
RAILS
Pinched in the middle, low in the tail. The pinched rail allows more volume to be packed into a more compact package and allows the deck line to be relatively flat in the standing area, adding comfort. Throughout, the rail line is low enough to offer great hold and penetration of the face so you can feel super confident in any conditions.
ROCKER
Accentuated nose flip, with a clean performance rocker. The accentuated nose flip gives the board great chances to recover when coming back down off the lip whilst the clean performance rocker enables the board to be surfed radically in the power source of the wave. This overall rocker package makes for an extremely maneuverable board.
BOTTOM
Flat upfront blending into a single concave through the middle, to a double concave into the back foot and subtle V on the exit. The concave upfront helps initiate a turn earlier, keeps the board responsive, as your rail will engage the second your mind decides to. We have purposely kept the concave out of the nose, this is to reduce over sensitivity and keep the front rail higher out of the water. At speed, if your front rail engages when you don’t want it to, it can throw you off or into a spin. The double concave then creates a spine where the stringer would be but also allows the transition into the subtle V to be smoother. This subtle V kicks in when you are right on the back foot, when somewhere critical it offers that bit more hold and control helping to bed the tail in.
DECK
Relatively flat in the standing area through to roll in the tail. Being flat in the standing area adds a level of comfort and stability to the board, whilst keeping the roll towards the tail means the rails can stay nice and low giving you great penetration.
FINS
5 Fins. For top to bottom surfing, the thruster will be the better option. As the waves get a little steeper and faster, switch out to the quad to hold a higher, more direct line, or if the waves are flatter and more open with little chance of top to bottom surfing, the quad is also an option.
