KEY PRO FEATURES:
› PERFORMANCE THIN RAILS
Thin rails reduce swing weight at the nose, enhancing pivot speed through turns. Fuller rails in the midsection maintain speed, while thinner rails at the tail provide increased bite and control.› NARROW NOSE OUTLINE
The narrow nose fits tight into the pocket of hollow waves, reducing the nose catching during fast, explosive turns. The rail line helps draw a precise line and enables you to tuck into the critical section of the wave on late, steep drops.› DECK SHAPE
The deck remains fairly flat to provide comfort and stability in choppy conditions, conserving energy for longer sessions. It transitions to a slight dome as the rails thin out.› BOTTOM SHAPE
Single concave provides lift and speed, feeding through to a double midsection and slight vee at the tail to manoeuvre and rock from rail to rail.› SQUASH TAIL
Gives the most versatile performance in all wave types, particularly holding in bigger surf.› RAIL SHAPE
A sharp rail edge from the tail to just in front of the fins helps create a firm edge for control and responsive grip through turns. Forward of the fins, the rails soften and roll to aid in transitioning between maneuvers and maintaining speed.› ROCKER CURVE
The moderate nose rocker prevents catching on steep drops and turns. A flattened midsection boosts speed, while a clean tail kick curve allows for snappy turns and easy rotation, blending speed with maneuverability.› FIN OPTIONS
The 5-fin setup offers 4+1 and 2+1 options, allowing choice based on riding style and wave conditions. Updated fin angles enhance front splay for manoeuvrability and reduce rear angle for drive. All models are supplied with a Thruster fin setup but when set in Quad mode deliver an even faster and more responsive ride.
