Sharp and powerful

A resolutely high-performance model, which likes to be ridden on the rail with power and intention, delivering plenty of drive.

Capable to offer a lot of energy but also precision and sincerity, this model allows you to draw committed and radical lines, with natural efficiency in fast and powerful waves.

Elegant and deadly-efficient lines

An accentuated rocker line and a bottom with a deep single concave, guarantee responsiveness and explosiveness.

An aggressive volume distribution, with the thickness in the central part and thin and sharp front and rear ends, ensures both sincerity and surgical precision.

Super efficient, particularly at ease on powerful beach-breaks, this model will widen your comfort zone in hollow and punchy waves.

Shaper’s breakdown

“ The heritage of several generations of shapes, which I constantly refine and improve over the years, around the same fundamentals: accentuated rocker, single concave, centered volume, thin ends.

I created this model to satisfy surfers with strong feet, to provide them with a board capable of transforming their power into speed and drive.

This latest version ensures more versatility and ease of use: more planning area, an outline with more curve on the back third and a less extreme rocker line, offer more natural glide without impacting the explosiveness and the maneuverability specific to this model.

The distribution of the volume is optimized to support a powerful style, while guaranteeing precision and finesse. ”

Size chart

To extract the maximum efficiency from this shape and make the most of its qualities, we recommend choosing it between 1 and 2 inches longer than the size of the surfer, with a width and thickness adapted to his size.

These sizes are proven and popular among surfers, but it is possible (and we recommend) to adapt them to your body frame, level and experience, to meet your specific needs.

More tech

The outline draws a continuous, flawless line, ending with a very rounded squash tail, ensuring both versatility and control (the model is also available with a ”real” round tail).

The bottom has a fairly deep single concave along the entire length, with a slight double concave between the side fins.

The rocker is progressive, with a pronounced but not extreme line, guaranteeing forgiveness and versatility.

The volume is rather centered under the surfer’s feet, with the ends quite thin, to ensure control and precision at high speed.
