Test for Longboard

SD3 outline. Built with a vee deck to boxy, yet sensitive rail.

The rocker is long and straight through the middle with accentuated kick in the nose and tail allowing it to carry through flats, fit in tight pockets, and lay on a rail.
This board has become our all around War Horse of a Shortboard. Comes standard now as a no bump squash, but was ridden with success and made popular as double wing swallow by Ward.

The SCORCHER features the same low entry rocker, forward outline and rear rail line rocker of the Stealth, but with the wide bump squash, low stringer centerline rocker and Vee out the back from the SD2.  The deep Vee out the tail allows more full rail carving and drive. Kolohe has used this model to win countless national and US surfing titles, as well as his first few Pro events already. This board is already the rage amongst the custom order crew. Ride about 2″ shorter 1/8″ thinner and 1/4″ wider than an F1 or Whiplash type short board.

I am always looking for a board that paddles easily, glides across flats, and carves mush, yet still allows vertical turning and snaps in the pocket. Influenced by the jumbo wide tails of 80’s Laser Zap, this board was designed around a modern thickness flow, rails, and bottom curves, but with an extra wide round tail to stay on top of the water. The outline up front is wide and curvy as well. The round tail encourages flowing turns and rolls tight in the pocket. The rocker is low throughout, but with an aggressive acceleration in the tail. The rail rocker “hangs” lower than the center line in the rear half, creating a radically deep concave and curvey rail line through the fins. This makes for extreme lift, and fast tight arc‘d turns out of the tail. The bottom rail is tucked all the way through the fins, so you can get it up on a rail and not slide out too easily.

Built for precision, tight radius, high speed, spontaneous surfing. The mind set behind this board was “anything not needed, take out”. Designed with low volume rails, vee deck, elliptical outline (no hip or bump in the tail) with a narrower nose and tail block, combined with an aggressive rail rocker and deep concaves. All of these characteristic’s combine to make this the most sensitive and responsive board we offer. Not recommended for below average surfers, but for the guy who wants to elevate his performance to the highest level. Performs best in curvy waves of any size. The round tail has been a custom order favorite this year.

The REAL board that started a Revolution! Originally shaped as a 5′3″ for Shane’s young son Noah by former …Lost shaper and pro surfer Noah Budroe. The board features a wide forward outline with round forgiving rails, flat deck and a wide “rocket” tail. The rocker is extremely low in the entry, for instant speed, with an exaggerated kick in the tail for tight arcs out of turns. An average wave all-rounder that can be effectively ridden 4″ to 6″ shorter, 1/8″ thinner, and just slightly wider than your normal short board without sacrificing any carve or drive.

Hundreds of imitations, but duplicated by none. Everyone deserves to have an original Rocket in their quiver.

THE ROCKET -

THE SUB-SCORCHER – Kolohe Andino’s grovel board. A blend of the old SD2 and the Scorcher, but squashed-n-wide. Low entry rocker, with a bit of tip flip, into a low tail rocker with shallow concaves through the center to straighten the rail line which makes it easier to lay such a wide platform on a rail. Our stubbiest shortboard yet, but it still carves like a real board. A forward wide point and the strong hip in the outline combine for drive and turning. Kolohe wanted to call it “The Trashcan Lid” because you don’t need to go dumpster diving to get one of these! Ride ‘em short-n-wide to feel the glide… it’s the easiest pointed nose board you will ever ride.

“SUB-DRIVER” (NEW) – The Sub Driver is something Kolohe Andino specifically asked for this spring. Most his small or mushy wave surfing had been on 5’10 x 18.88 x 2.25 Sub Scorchers. In solid or curvy, more powerful waves he has been riding his 6’0 x 18.25 x 2.25 squash tail Drivers. He asked for to make him something in between his “Driver with a Sub Scorcher outline”. Using the AKU shaping program Matt simply imported the Sub Scorcher’s outline onto the Driver rocker, bottom, foil and rails. We then sized it just between the Sub Scorcher and his Driver at 5’11 x 18.75 x 2.25. The result is a board he’s been riding in all sorts of waves from knee high San Clemente beach breaks to fun sized Indo. We came up with a cool new logo and rushed this model into the US stores for summer 2011. More nose rocker and less tail rocker (with no vee) than the Sub Scorcher. This is a great all around small to mid sized wave board for both average and exceptional surfers. Early response has been fantastic. Mick Fanning rode one of Kolohe’s  5’11 Sub Driver trade-ins into the quarter-finals (he lost on a count back) of the Hurley Pro at Trestles this year.
