High-Performance Small Wave Shortboard with Balanced Outline

This high-performance design is crafted specifically for smaller waves, featuring a lower rocker line paired with a wider, more balanced outline to maximize speed and stability. The bottom contours include a single concave that smoothly transitions into a slight vee off the tail, optimizing water flow and responsiveness. The fin area is enhanced with an inset, blended double concave to improve lift and control. A distinctive winged outline reduces tail area behind the back foot, creating a natural “breaking point” that facilitates quick release and sharp pivoting for agile turns.

Pros:

  • Lower rocker and balanced outline generate speed and stability in small surf

  • Concave-to-vee bottom contours provide smooth flow and responsive control

  • Winged tail outline improves pivot and release for dynamic maneuvers

  • Inset double concave under fins enhances lift and drive

Cons:

  • Tail reduction may reduce drive in larger, more powerful waves

  • Specialized small-wave design may feel less versatile in bigger surf

Summary:
Designed with smaller waves in mind, this high-performance shortboard blends a wider outline and refined rocker with advanced bottom contours to deliver speed, control, and agile turning. Its winged tail design offers a unique balance of release and pivot, making it a top choice for surfers looking to maximize performance in less powerful conditions.
