Polaris – A Retro-Inspired Glide with Modern Updates

The Polaris is a beautifully balanced blend of 1970s inspiration and modern refinement, designed to be a true “go-to” board for all conditions. It features a full, curvy outline that offers generous surface area for easy paddling, smooth planing, and down-the-line speed, making it a joy to ride in a variety of surf.

What sets the Polaris apart is the subtle modernization in its bottom curve and foil. While the outline pays homage to the past, the updated rocker and refined rail profile give the board a more responsive, polished feel underfoot. This allows for smoother transitions, tighter turns, and an overall more dynamic ride than a straight retro shape might deliver.

Whether you're trimming across soft points or drawing lines on a punchy beach break, the Polaris delivers style, speed, and confidence.

Pros:

  • Retro flow with enhanced modern responsiveness

  • Full outline aids in planing, paddling, and overall ease of use

  • Works well in a wide range of wave types and conditions

  • Smooth rail-to-rail transitions and clean carving potential

Cons:

  • Not as high-performance as dedicated shortboards or midlengths

  • Larger outline may feel bulky in ultra-tight pockets or steep surf

Summary:
The Polaris is a versatile all-arounder that channels the soul of the 70s with the performance of today. It’s an ideal board for surfers who appreciate classic lines and effortless speed, but want the benefits of modern shaping to keep their surfing sharp. A stylish and reliable board for surfers of all levels.
