What You Thought of When You Designed It?
I wanted a board with a maximum glide that sliced through the water. Designed over many years from feedback from our international team it is designed to be stable enough to ride super skinny and still manageable when kick-turning.
What It Possibly Compromises On Then?
Not an ideal board for the ocean or down winding due to its minimal rocker. Stability is also affected.
SHAPE DETAILS SUMMARY | DESIGN INFO
Outline: Skinny slicing nose and wider tail. Very skinny nose outline with the tail still wide enough for kick turns. The wide tail matched with the right rocker has a very clean release so the board planes very easily.
Rails: Hard round rails through most of the board. Fairly hard rails to keep width and stability but soft enough not to grab hold of any side chop off other boards.
Rocker: Minimal flatwater rocker. To achieve maximum glide we have used as little rocker as possible while still keeping a clean almost planning style release from the tail.
Bottom: Convex bottom contours allow maximum speed and glide.
Deck: Dugout standing area to keep riders lower for stability and power.
Fins: Single. For maximum straight-line speed.
FINAL STATEMENT
If you are looking for an extremely fast flatwater board with maximum glide and stability this is the one for you.
