ReRun – A Fusion of GrinderX Power and GiggleBox Playfulness
The ReRun merges key design features from the GrinderX and GiggleBox into a volume-efficient, high-performance shortboard. It carries the moderate rocker line of the GrinderX, enhanced by a subtle vee off the tail for added release and maneuverability. The nose is slightly wider, contributing to increased paddle power without sacrificing agility.
The deck profile takes inspiration from the GiggleBox but is more subdued—featuring a gently rolled-off rail shoulder rather than a flat deck, resulting in a smoother, more blended feel. Volume is strategically thickened under the chest and through the nose to improve paddling ease while maintaining a quick, responsive ride. The tail tapers to a refined fin area and tail block, supporting precise control and sharp turns. The classic blended beak nose shape remains, lending a unique character and added flotation.
Pros:
Balanced rocker and vee tail deliver speed, control, and release
Subtle deck contours provide comfort and sensitivity without excess bulk
Hidden volume under chest and nose enhances paddle power and wave catching
Refined tail promotes sharp, responsive turns
Beak nose aids flotation and smooth entry
Cons:
Design favors intermediate to advanced surfers who can harness its subtle nuances
Less aggressive deck profile may feel less dynamic to those used to flatter decks
Summary:
The ReRun is a cleverly blended shortboard that combines the power and drive of the GrinderX with the approachable playfulness of the GiggleBox. Its volume-efficient shape offers impressive paddleability alongside a lively, sensitive ride, making it a great choice for surfers seeking performance without sacrificing ease of use.
