Au rendez-vous, whatever your approach

One of the most versatile and appreciated models in our range, capable of satisfying surfers of various styles and comfortable in all types of conditions.

A model that, depending on the chosen measurements and the approach of the surfer, allows the surfer to express himself both with a cool and relaxed style, and with a sporty and aggressive style.

Have fun

The original idea behind this shape is to combine a typical” funboard” front, wide, flat and tolerant, with a typical ”shortboard” rear part, with rocker, bottom and aggressive rails without compromise.

Depending on the level of the surfer or the quality of the waves, it is possible to position yourself in the center of the board to enjoy an easy glide and draw wide and fluid trajectories… Or, to place the feet towards the back, to surf in a much more ambitious way and draw tighter lines.

Shaper’s breakdown

“A shape born from an original idea, which I have not stopped developing, refining and optimizing over the years…
The concept is to assemble a fun board front, (generous outline and fairly flat rocker line), with a high-performance shortboard rear (more accentuated rocker line, concaves and aggressive rail profile).

The result is a model that lends itself to multiple interpretations, both in terms of measurements and in terms of approach.
Agile and maneuverable in the shortest and most radical sizes; easy, tolerant and accessible in the larger versions.

Capable to deliver a classic glide, surfing with a narrow stance, in the center of the board; but also well able to draw aggressive lines, when used with a sportier, more aggressive approach.”

Size chart

In its more aggressive measurements, this model is capable to satisfy an expert surfer who wants to ride a reactive and maneuverable board, delivering different sensations compared to his traditional shortboard.

In the more generous versions, this model is the ideal gateway to “performance” surfing, for less experienced surfers wishing to progress quickly.

For ultimate efficiency, choose the measurements according to your size, your level and your requirements.

Available in roundtail for more versatility, or in swallowtail to get more maneuverability.

More tech

The front part presents a relatively straight rocker and a generous outline, to ensure ease and forgiveness, allowing to reduce the length without sacrificing volume.

The tail, with a balanced and progressive rocker line combined with a single concave bottom, offer speed, acceleration and drive.

The rails are full and extremely rounded at the front for sincerity and forgiveness, but aggressive and sharp at the rear for speed and precision.
