Domesticated performance!

Two years of reflection, research and development have led us to the creation of an original model, with simple and classic lines, but some original details.

A shape with generous volumes, comfortable and tolerant, but also fast and capable to be surfed on the rail with precision and commitment, effective in a wide range of conditions.

A board that favors a fluid and sober style, requiring less aggressive riding than a traditional shortboard.

Classic and innovative,
at the same time

The peculiar design, with the center of gravity much further back than the standard, facilitates take-off and allows intuitive feet positioning and extremely efficient driving.

An excellent cruiser in small waves, fun and tolerant… But give it a little more space and speed, and this shape turns out to be a formidable carver, capable of drawing exciting lines.

Shaper’s breakdown

I created this shape to fill the gap between sporty, high-performance but demanding shortboards, and the classic mid-length, comfortable but often lacking in liveliness.

The lines are pure and fluid, but I have redesigned the volume distribution, significantly moving the center of gravity back, to promote more efficient and sporty riding.

The bottom has a design developed for this model, with an accentuated V at the front, a double-concave in the center and again a pronounced V at the rear.

The specificities of the bottom design, the line of rocker and the distribution of the volume, offer speed and irreproachable glide, while ensuring remarkable ease to put and to keep the board on the rail and to draw beautiful lines.”

Size chart

Keep in mind that the measurements presented here are guidelines for you to understand the proportions of the model… but it is possible (and we recommend) to adapt them to your body frame, level and experience, to meet your specific needs.

Choose the size and type of construction according to the intended use: the shorter and wider versions, possibly with a lightweight eps/epoxy construction, will excel in small and medium conditions; versions with more elongated proportions and traditional constructions will be perfectly at home in more solid conditions.

Available standard with a rounded squash tail or, on request, with a “real” round tail.

More tech

The outline draws a fluid line, with a rounded but quite narrow nose; the wide point is centered, bringing more curve to the rear part of the board; a very rounded squash tail completes an elegant and functional design.

The bottom has a double concave under the front foot, with a deep V going towards the nose and going towards the tail.

The rocker has a fairly straight, progressive line, subtly accelerated by the V at both ends.
The volume is rather distributed in the center and on the back of the board, for more efficiency in both take-off and driving.

Choose the construction
according to your requirements

How a board is made is as important as how it is shaped: the choice of materials used for its construction and the way of assembling them affects its weight, strength and efficiency…

To meet your requirements and optimize your sessions, our boards are available in five different constructions, each with its own technical specificity and effective in its own way.
