About the board
General goal | theme of the board
A nice high volume, family friendly, all round paddleboard that can be taken into small surf.
Wave type ||| size it's working best
Ideally super small micro waves, soft rolling white water. Under knee high is comfortable.
Maneuvers it does best
Generally just a good paddler and small wave catcher.…
Skill level it's best for
Novice to Intermediate. While we don’t discount a Pro could use it, more than likely a more advanced paddler/surfer would probably choose a more performance specific design.
Paddle power
SPEED: Better than excellent glide.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL: Above average.
OVER WHITE WATER: Really good, due to length and parallel outline.
WAVE CATCHING ABILITY: Unbelievable
What you thought of when you designed it?
Originally I was thinking of this board as a touring/all round board for both flat water and some small waves, having a healthy 200 plus liters, it's super stable and paddles easily on flat water and it will let someone into small surf. …
What it possibly compromises on then?
Its sheer size and width mean it's very difficult to control in the surf zone, emphasizing again that it's ideally suited to almost flat days or sheltered locations with tiny swells.

Design info
Outline
Full nose clean outline into a rounded square. The overall width at 33” and a generous amount of width carrying into the nose and tail offer great stability, virtually anyone can step onto this board and paddle away.
Rails
Seriously chunky and full. More so designed for general paddling and buoyancy, not having performance surfing in mind so we're not trying to sell it as the ultimate performance board.
Rocker
A healthy amount of nose rocker with a fairly flat tail. The Nose rocker is enough to be functional in tiny surf yet still flat enough to keep good speed while out cruising flat water. The flatter tail rocker gives the glide back and allows it to pick up the tiniest of micro swells.
Bottom
Flat. Nothing fancy.
Deck
Flat. Due to the fuller rails the deck is quite comfortable to stand on.
Fins
Single. Good balance and paddle stability with the large single, no real need to consider more fins for performance, because it’s a giant board anyway.
Final Statement
A good all round board if you want a multi purpose design to cover flat water. A weekend fun, family oriented board that is possible to use on tiny waves and moving swells.
