The NOKAOI was made as Gerry Lopez's magic board. Gerry exchanged ideas with Taro to come up with a new shape that allowed him to draw smooth lines he's renowned for in any kind of conditions. Featuring a pointy nose for outstanding float in the powder, a minimal taper to allow for sharp, yet light and lively performance for the so-called "Hot-Dog" riding style. A subtle "short-camber" system has also been incorporated to allow the NOKAOI to perform in the variable conditions of the Pacific Northwest.

FEATURES
SHORT CAMBER
This profile is similar to the conventional camber, however has been refined in order to minimize edge-catching. The camber's peak remains around the center of the effective edge, however both ends finish before the widest points to smoothly connect to the nose/tail rockers. It provides the benefits of a cambered profile and eliminates the disadvantages of it. Combining this profile with a relatively low camber height, results in a smooth turning adaptability unlike any other conventional cambered boards.
