WATCH SURF STATION'S REVIEW >

 

The Scorpion is a power-packed, paddle-friendly performance board that delivers versatility, speed, and sharp turning ability. Designed with a forward wide point, this board enhances paddle efficiency and early wave entry, putting extra drive right under your chest—an invaluable trait in crowded or fast-moving lineups.

The pulled-in tail design contrasts the fuller nose, allowing the Scorpion to remain highly maneuverable despite its user-friendly volume. Combined with medium rails, this setup balances stability and responsiveness, giving surfers the ability to stay in control while making fast, snappy transitions.

The medium-low entry rocker ensures smooth takeoffs, while a deep single concave through the bottom fading into a slight vee off the tail boosts both speed and control. Whether carving clean faces or racing down the line, the Scorpion responds with agility and drive.

Originally released with a swallow tail, the model now includes round and chopped tail options, giving riders the freedom to tailor performance to their style and local waves. Designed to shine as a tri-fin, the Scorpion suits surfers looking for a dependable all-arounder with a touch of bite and plenty of flow.

Pros:

  • Forward wide point boosts paddle power and early entry

  • Pulled-in tail enhances maneuverability and responsiveness

  • Deep single to vee bottom contour offers speed and control

  • Custom tail options (swallow, round, chopped) for tailored feel

  • Ideal tri-fin setup delivers reliable versatility in various conditions

Cons:

  • Not a groveler—may require more energy in very weak or tiny waves

  • Forward volume may take adjustment for surfers used to neutral or rear-wide outlines

Summary:
The Scorpion is a well-rounded, performance-driven board designed to help surfers paddle easier, catch more waves, and surf more dynamically. Its smart blend of volume, control, and customization makes it a go-to board for waist-high to overhead conditions, ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers seeking a reliable, everyday performer with a modern edge. Whether you choose the classic swallow tail or experiment with chopped or round variants, the Scorpion delivers a sharp and satisfying ride.
