What you thought of when you designed it?
This model is based on the original Pro a model that dates back to the early 90s , when I lived in West Oz the Pro was the go to all round performance board, after migrating to the Gold coast I found the waves just didn’t have the same power so I took a Pro and added a fraction more width to the same outline and rocker, this worked really well on the East Coast, one team rider claimed he was totally blowing up on this board, so we named it the Nitro in 2005, since then it has become a staple go to high performance board…
What it possibly compromises on then?
It’s an extremely sensitive board so it needs a good surfer with plenty of movement, wants to be pumped and kept moving the whole time, not for the flowing retro style master, likes a bit more punch, but not quite West Oz or Hawaii punch…

Design info
Outline
Standard clean short board arc, subtle hip flyer rounded pin…
A look at the overall plan shape and you see an outline that has a relatively tight arc nose to tail, plus the added flyer round pin, so from either the first pump or the first bottom turn the board has great sensitivity and initiates turns instantly, has a very free easy pump action and goes top to bottom effortlessly, the hip flyer, adds an instant response as your weight transitions onto the back foot, so bottom turns can be squared off really tight allowing a more vertical approach to the lip with a super tight hook under the lip, the round pin allows it to be surfed tight while still keeping the rail engaged, meaning tight on rail power surfing..
Rails
Low volume, tucked bottom edge …
A lower volume rail offers good sensitivity as you initiate a turn, the Nitro has quite a full round bottom rail, extra tuck at the front fins, combined with the apex running closer to the deck, this combo offers nice hold on the face into a late sucky drop, tight snap in the pocket or high speed attack, the tucked edge in the tail has great control while drifting sideways and backwards, being less prone to catching a rail and the board flipping underneath you..
Rocker
Full performance rocker…
With this amount of rocker, the board stays nice and loose, super sensitive and fits into tight pockets, allowing you to attack sections at speed..
Bottom
Single concave..
The concave helps the inside rail engage earlier, initiating turns faster, while also directing water off the outside rail in a downward direction, applying Newtons 3rd law of physics, sensitivity plus when combined with all the other features also adding sensitivity..
Deck
Standard
Deck is a fairly standard roll, due to the low volume rail, this offers a slightly faster reaction time into turns...
Fins
Thruster
For top to bottom surfing the thruster will always be the better option..
Final Statement
A good high performance board that you can rip the bags out of, as close to thought control as you will find..
