A smooth rail to rail board that can do big, drawn-out carves or do tight, snappy turns in the pocket. Construction: PU foam and Poly resin (also available in EPS-epoxy). Fins: Twinzer (hand foiled fibreglass only) Shaper comment: I am stoked on this shape. They go insane and I know a lot of surfers will really enjoy them.
