SHORTER NOSE OUTLINE
Makes it easier to pivot turn and fit in the critical section of the wave without catching the nose.
THINNER RAILS
- Increases the responsiveness and ease to engage rail-to-rail turns with less effort.
NOSE KICK
- Prevents the nose from diving when getting into waves and paddling in choppy water.
FLAT ROCKER
- In the center provides efficient glide and speed on flats.
FLAT STANDING AREA
- Allows to have a wider stance for extra stability in chop.
MODERATE TAIL KICK
- Allows for tighter turning when standing back on the tail.
WIDE ROUNDED TAIL
- Improves stability when stepping on the board to turn. It also gives release out of turns.
MONO TO DOUBLE CONCAVE BOTTOM
- Provides speed to catch the wave and then has sensitive rail-to-rail turning from the midpoint.
CHANNEL TAIL
- Makes it easier to carry speed and hold through maneuverers.
FIN SET UP
- Thruster
- Center: 6.75"
