Generous shape makes paddling and setting off easy, whatever the conditions. Avoid very hollow waves.

Those who weigh more than 80 kg will enjoy this board on small waves. Lighter surfers can even try their hand at nose riding.

Shape
TAIL: SQUARE Tail => More radical rail-to-rail transition
BOTTOM: Concave to double concave => The concave at the front helps improve the speed of the board when it is flat (when taking off for example). The double concave provides control and softens the behaviour of the board.
ROCKER: Low (6.4%) Makes it easier to take off on the wave and lets you move on the board

Benefits of EPS/EPOXY boards
We chose this type of construction for our surfboards, because it offers numerous advantages.
The epoxy resin is more resistant to impacts and dents than polyester resin, which makes the board more robust.
The board is more reactive and can gather more speed
The EPS foam (expanded polystyrene) floats better, meaning that, for the same volume, you have more buoyancy than with a polyester /polyurethane board.
Fin assembly
Comes with a 10" fiberglass honeycomb fin on Us Box.
The further forward the fin is in the box, the more manoeuvrable the board will be. The further back it is, the more drive you get.
Installing a leash (not included)
Be sure to adjust the length of the string that connects the leash to the plug so that the rail saver (protection strap) is resting on the edge of the board.
Protective cover
The board has a Flexi Hex® honeycomb case inside a sturdy box.
This case is reusable in your surfing cover to protect it while transporting.
