This board is built for the day you’ll never forget—the “day of days.” Designed and proven in the heaviest lineups on Earth, from Pipeline to Teahupo'o, it's a serious step-up featuring a distinctive baby swallow tail for hold and control in critical situations. While tailored for serious surf, it can still be ordered in smaller dimensions and performs exceptionally as a travel board or when your local beach break lights up for the best swell of the year. Trusted by those chasing the best barrels of their life.
Pro
Its versatility is a standout—capable of tackling giant slabs up to 8 feet in length, yet refined enough to be ridden in more compact dimensions for travel or standout days at home. The baby swallow tail offers the perfect blend of drive and release, while the overall foil and rocker are tuned for steep, hollow waves. It’s a board you can trust in consequential surf, where performance and reliability are non-negotiable.
Con
This isn’t your everyday board. Its design focus on serious waves means it may feel stiff or overly aggressive in average conditions. Surfers looking for a groveler or daily driver should look elsewhere, as the Missing Link here is commitment, not compromise.
Final Verdict
When the waves go from good to all-time, this board is the one to grab. Whether you're standing tall at Pipeline, threading Teahupo’o, or charging the rare beast at your home break, this step-up delivers the confidence, control, and paddle power needed to make it count. Stick to the recommended dims, or customize up to 8'0" for when things get truly serious. Trust her—you won’t regret it.
