GENERAL GOAL | THEME OF THE BOARD:

The ultimate pleasure ride for cruising flat water, ocean paddling and surf in the right conditions.

WAVE TYPE | SIZE IT'S WORKING BEST:

Smaller softer longboard waves, but I have seen it used in some solid waves successfully. From just over ankle high to wherever you think it could handle.

MANEUVERS IT DOES BEST:

Super easy gliding take offs on nothing through to a solid bottom turn in waves of consequence. 

SKILL LEVEL IT'S BEST FOR:

Novice to Pro.

PADDLE POWER:

SPEED: Better than excellent glide.

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL: Really good, due to length and parallel outline.

OVER WHITE WATER: Super stable. 

WAVE CATCHING ABILITY: Unbelievable. 

WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF WHEN YOU DESIGNED IT?:

Originally I was thinking of this board as a touring board for both flat water and some ocean going, having a healthy 200 plus liters, allowing a rider and possibly some luggage. I used a typical big wave style outline thinking this would help in the ocean, but the bonus was the board actually surfs as well. 

WHAT IT POSSIBLY COMPROMISES ON THEN?:

Well, it is a massive board, so you won’t be doing any top to bottom surfing. 

OUTLINE:

Sleek, gunny style outline with a tight chisel tail. The clean drawn outline allows the board to hold a good line and speed while paddling and catching waves, the tight tail area allows a reasonably tight and responsive bottom turn. 

RAILS:

Kind of chunky and full. More so designed for general paddling and buoyancy, not having performance surfing in mind so we're not trying to sell it as the ultimate performance board, it's really the tighter tail outline that allows a turn. 

ROCKER:

Decent amount of nose rocker with a fairly flat tail. The Nose rocker gets it up and over bumps while ocean paddling, the overall surfboard design tends to let lumps just wash over the deck and is more resistant to side winds as opposed to the high above the waterline race board style designs that act as a sail. The flatter tail rocker gives the glide back and allows it to pick up the tiniest of micro swells. 

BOTTOM:

Flat. Nothing fancy.

DECK:

Relatively Flat. Due to the fuller rails, the deck is quite comfortable to stand on.

FINS:

Single. Good balance and paddle stability with the large single, no real need to consider more fins for performance, because it’s a giant board anyway.

FINAL STATEMENT:

A good all round board if you want a multi purpose design to cover, touring, flat water, ocean paddling with the added ability to catch a few waves along the way.
