LONGBOARDS
Town Model - This is a wider, thicker
board that has a fuller nose and a wider tail. It comes with either a flat
or concave nose, moderate roll in the belly and extra vee in the tail.
This board is designed for smaller, slower waves, like Waikiki or Diamond
Head. It has a lower entry rocker which helps to glide better while
paddling. This board can be ordered as a single fin or a 2+1. The tail
shape is to be determined by the rider.
North Shore Model- This is a more narrow board that usually comes
with a single to double concave bottom. This design usually has extra
overall rocker that
helps it to turn in the hook of the wave a lot better. This shape is
usually ordered a little bit thicker for better strength and paddling. The
nose and tail and overall width are pulled in to promote speed. It can be
ordered as a 2+1 fin set up or a tri fin. The tail shape is to be
determined by the rider.
Pro Model – The pro model is designed to be an all around board.
This board can do a little of everything. It has a semi full nose,
moderate width and a slightly pulled in tail. Extra rocker in the tail
keeps it loose and low entry rocker helps it paddle well. This board comes
with a flat nose, slight roll in the belly and vee in the tail. It is
sometimes ordered with a slight double concave in the tail to help give a
little boost off the bottom. This board is usually ordered a little
lighter for more responsiveness. This design comes in a 2+1 or tri fin set
up, as well. The tail shape is up to the rider.
Mini Tanker -These boards are scaled down versions of any of the
above models.
They are usually thin and light and are ordered by women and kids. Women
tend to want boards that are easier to carry, meaning they fit under their
arm better and easy to turn. Some men like these boards because they dip
under waves good and you can throw them around like a short board better.
