Pocket Rocket – Retro Roots, Modern Spark
The Pocket Rocket is a modern reinterpretation of a 1970s classic, delivering a lively, stylish ride with updated versatility. With a full foil and a sleek, streamlined outline, this board is designed to fit tight in the pocket while still offering enough volume and tail width for accessibility and control.
Compared to its vintage inspiration, this version is more user-friendly—thanks to added tail width, it paddles easier and handles a wider range of conditions. When the waves turn on, the Pocket Rocket truly comes alive, offering smooth rail engagement and drive with a timeless flow.
Available with either a soft diamond tail for added looseness and lift, or a more traditional rounded pin feel. Choose between a single fin setup for classic trim and glide, or go with the 2+1 ‘widowmaker’ configuration for extra control and bite off the tail.
Pros:
Retro style with modern tuning makes it accessible and versatile
Added tail width improves ease of use and performance in a variety of waves
Multiple fin options (single or 2+1) tailor the ride to your style
Comes alive in good waves, offering tight pocket surfing with flow
Cons:
Still favors cleaner, more critical waves to perform at its best
Full foil may feel a bit bulky for surfers used to shortboard-like sensitivity
Summary:
The Pocket Rocket is a stylish throwback that doesn’t get stuck in the past. With 70s soul and modern performance updates, it’s a wave-hugging board built for speed, trim, and tight arcs. Whether you ride it as a single for drawn-out flow or a widowmaker for added bite, the Pocket Rocket is a versatile midlength that thrives when the surf lights up.
