Small-Wave Focused Performance Shortboard

This board is specifically designed for smaller, slower surf, featuring a low continuous rocker from nose to tail that maximizes speed and glide. The bottom contours include a gentle single concave running through the center and fin area, transitioning into subtle vee off the tail block, with double barrel concaves through the fins to enhance lift and drive. The outline is notably full through the nose, while the tail showcases a double bump in the fin area flowing into a soft diamond squash shape. These tail features and contours contribute to maintaining excellent speed and responsiveness within its ideal conditions.

Recommended primarily for intermediate surfers tackling all-around waves, and advanced surfers when conditions are less than optimal, this board excels at generating speed and smooth flow in smaller surf.

Pros:

  • Low continuous rocker promotes effortless speed in slow waves

  • Concave and vee contours optimize lift, drive, and control

  • Fuller nose improves paddle power and stability

  • Tail design supports fast, responsive turns

Cons:

  • Specialized for smaller surf; may underperform in steep or hollow conditions

  • Not ideal for beginner surfers due to responsiveness and design focus

Summary:
Purpose-built for smaller, less powerful waves, this board combines thoughtful rocker and bottom contouring to deliver speed and responsiveness where it counts. It’s an excellent option for intermediate surfers seeking an all-around performer and advanced surfers needing a reliable board in marginal surf conditions.
