[ The "Kestrel" ]
DESCRIPTION
The Kestrel is a cross between a performance shortboard and a
classic Speed Egg. Following the historical theme of crossing a shortboard with
a longboard to yield classic mid length designs, the Kestrel mixes the gene
pool a step further to bring shortboard performance to a maximum surface area
high volume design. It's blend of design variables offers great paddling
mobility in the line up, glides into waves with ease, and provides
acceleration, planning speed, maneuverability and stability and control in a
progressive design. One of the most versatile designs developed to date
currently enjoyed by groms from 3 to 70 plus years of age.
DESIGN FEATURES
Rockers: Speed Box or Continuous. Profiles: Moderate foil
with significant volume integrated into the designs to support the surfer
accelerate, and carry speed. Outlines: Round pin, squash, thumb, or
swallow. Bottom Contours: Tri plane entry, tri plane wide point, and
panel vee wide point to tail or moderate spiral vee through the fins to tail.
Rails: Vary with surfer's size, technique, and displacement - fuller
rails for technique that generates greater displacement or larger surfers -
thinner rails for a more light footed technique or smaller surfer. |
