Board Description
GENERAL GOAL | THEME OF THE BOARD:
An all round everyday board that catches waves easily.
WAVE TYPE | SIZE IT’S WORKING BEST:
All waves. From just under waist high up to head and a half.
MANEUVERS IT DOES BEST:
General surfing, solid bottom turn, cutbacks.
SKILL LEVEL IT’S BEST FOR:
Novice to Pro.
PADDLE POWER:
Above average.
WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF WHEN YOU DESIGNED IT?:
‘The goal was to have a board that suited a wide range of conditions and surfers. Something that would suit just about anyone and anytime.’ Dylan Burger.
WHAT IT POSSIBLY COMPROMISES ON THEN?:
Not the most high performance board in the range.
OUTLINE:
Full nose, wide point forward, clean outline, rounded pin. The fuller nose helps the board climb on top of the water a little easier with the first few strokes. Having the wide point forward creates a longer tail and a shorter nose. Because the arc of the outline is longer and straighter through the back end it’s possible to throw the board into larger surf and draw clean solid lines.
RAILS:
Fuller. The rails are relative, as the board does carry some volume. The overall rail shape nose to tail is fairly generic, the goal being a board that has a wide operating range
ROCKER:
Medium, slightly flatter. With this rocker, the board carries into waves really well, keeps its speed over dead sections and catches waves easily. Additionally, it carries well in cutbacks and on softer sections.
BOTTOM:
Single concave. The wider nose and longer tail outline arc slightly reduce reaction time as you lean forward and on rail to initiate a turn. The single concave helps the rail engage a little earlier while also squirting water off the opposite rail, helping it get on rail earlier.
DECK:
The deck is a fairly standard profile, with the overall board being a little thicker, this carries volume out to the rails in proportion, as well as into the nose and tail. This volume in general offers a level of comfort when paddling and catching waves, the first few strokes are not spent climbing out of the water.
FINS:
5 Fins. For top to bottom surfing the thruster will be the better option. As the waves get a little steeper and faster, switch out to the quad to hold a higher, more direct line, or if the waves are flatter and more open with little chance of top to bottom surfing, the quad is also an option.
FINAL STATEMENT:
A fun board that everyone can ride and catch waves on, if you can only own one board, then this is the board to have.
