SURF LIKE A PRO

- NEW 7’2″ x 23.5″
- Designed and developed in Portugal with shaper Luis “Lacrau” and Ollie O’Reilly, tested by Franz Orsi, Benoit Carpentier, Trevor Tunnington, Daniel Hasuylo.
- The 6’10” is a thinner lower volume model and was tested and approved by Riki Horikoshi from Japan.
- The shape gives more speed to set up and complete maneuvers, more hold through bottom turns in bigger surf and greater response.
- Rocker is forgiving on steeper drops, flatter deck feels less corky and fin positions refine the control and drive through turns.
- Thin nose profile reduces swing weight for more radical snaps, thinner tail gives more bite and response through turns.
- Size range is slightly longer in length with a smaller 6’10” model for lighter higher skilled riders.
- The Pro line is offered in Blue Carbon Sandwich and Blue Carbon with FCS 2 side fin boxes and the Limited Series which includes normal FCS side fin boxes.
- The 9’6” Gun is available in the Blue Carbon construction with additional UD Carbon stringers and heavier glass cloths to increase the total breakage strength to handle bigger surf.
- The Pro design is a performance shape for serious riders seeking world-class waves.

PERFORMANCE SHAPES FOR SERIOUS RIDERS SEEKING WORLD-CLASS WAVES.

1.Thinner Rail Profile – Reduces swing weight from nose, increasing pivot speed through turns.

2.Longer Narrower Nose Outline – Extends the rail line, making it easier to paddle into waves and holding on steeper drops.

3.Flatter Deck Shape – Offers more comfort and feels less corky.

4.Thinner Rails – At the tail gives more bite and control.

5.Rails – Are kept fine with a more pinched and rolled tuck edge, giving bite, control and speed through maneuvers.

6.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.

7.Flatter Tail Rocker – Rocker provides faster speed down the line and into turns.

8.Squash Tail – Gives the most versatile performance in all wave types, particularly holding in bigger surf.

9.5 Fin Option – The 5 fin option allows for quad, thruster and twin fin with small centre nubster. You can choose your preferred fin set up based on riding style and wave conditions. All models are supplied with a thruster set up with 4.7 front 120 center/140 center on bigger sizes. The angles of the fins are updated, with more spray in the front fins for greater manoeuvrability with less angle in the rear for greater drive through turns.
