DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What you'll feel
On the wave, you'll feel a lively board that stays controllable even when things get powerful. The medium rocker helps you handle hollow sections without losing drive, and the single concave bottom delivers clean acceleration out of your turns. The high-density EVA pads keep your feet locked in for sharp, incisive maneuvers.
Sizes and how to choose
The size available is the 5'10. When choosing, consider your build and the kind of waves you ride. If you're looking for a performance shortboard for powerful waves, the 5'10 is often a great fit for riders who want agility and quick acceleration. If you're not sure, stop by the shop to compare volumes and chat about your riding level.
Construction / What makes the difference
The board is built with a CVC vacuum composite sandwich construction, paired with a bamboo top deck for targeted stiffness. The bottom features a carbon layer to enhance responsiveness. This combination keeps the board light yet robust enough for regular use and the high demands of surfkiting.
On-water behaviour
The medium rocker and squash tail strike a balance between grip and acceleration. As a thruster, the board holds its drive on the rail and powers up quickly to get you back to speed after a maneuver. The single concave bottom provides stability down the line while making rail-to-rail transitions smooth.
Who it's for / level
This board is aimed at the advanced rider looking for a shortboard for surfkiting in medium to powerful waves.
