[ Ospreys | Semi Guns ]
DESCRIPTION The Osprey is a Semi Gun designed for paddling, acceleration, projection, speed, control, and stability in larger heavy water waves without sacrificing performance. Paddling mobility and effortless fluid entry are premium performance features of the Osprey. Quick response and maneuverability are also essential performance features for surfing critical heavy water waves. A well tuned semi gun is an essential part of any surfer's quiver who charges extreme and critical conditions. The Osprey has the same design features found in a shortboard or step up tuned to heavy water conditions. DESIGN FEATURES Rocker: The Osprey features Speed Box or Continuous rocker. Speed Box is preferred for all conditions and Continuous is preferred for barrels. Profile: Well foiled with a lot of hidden volume. Outline: Round pin or swallow. Bottom Contours: Vee to single concave, vee to single to double concave, reverse double concave, or tri plane to panel vee. Deck & Rails: Flat or crowned deck integrated with low and thin or low and full rail profiles - tuned to surf conditions, surfer's size, displacement, and technique. |

OSPREY ROCKER OPTIONS |
| |
|
| |
Speed Box Rockers
Speed Box rocker is the primary rocker option for the Osprey. These
designs feature an area of reduced curves under the surfer's torso and hips
when paddling and under the surfer's stance when surfing. The Speed Box can
vary moderately in length and position. The integrated tail and entry rockers
are tuned to surfer's technique and surf venues and conditions. This rocker
profile can be fine tuned to a wide variety of conditions.
|
| |
Speed Box Rocker - note the area of straighter curves through the mid section of the board with accelerated nose and tail rocker. |
| |
|
| |
Continuous Rockers
These designs feature continuous rocker from nose to tail. They excel in
crisp and hollow waves. These conditions generally provide all the speed and
power required for solid performance surfing. The continuous rocker profile
keeps the board free and loose in the pocket and in the tight transitions
experienced in challenging - quality waves without compromising speed and
projection.
|
| |
Continuous Rocker - note the constant curve from nose to tail with accelerated nose and tail rocker. |

OSPREY RAIL PROFILE & BOTTOM CONTOUR OPTIONS |
| |
|
| |
CROWNED DECK and MODERATELY LOW CROWNED RAIL and SINGLE to DOUBLE CONCAVE Crowned rail profile for control and single to double concave for acceleration, projection, speed, and maneuverability. Single to double and single concaves performance varies moderately. The way water flows from the rail the peak of the double concave at the stringer (center of the board) creates additional lift and with it's spine offers directional stability through turns. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
FLAT DECK with MODERATELY LOW RAIL and SINGLE to DOUBLE CONCAVE Flat deck offers more volume and stability. Low rail profile for control and single to double concave for acceleration, projection, speed, and maneuverability. The way water flows from the rail the peak of the double concave at the stringer (center of the board) creates additional lift and with it's spine offers directional stability through turns. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
CROWNED DECK and MODERATELY LOW CROWNED RAIL and TRI PLANE to PANEL VEE Crowned rail profile for control and tri plane to panel vee for acceleration, projection, speed, and maneuverability and predictability and control. The tri plane entry and wide point to panel vee widepoint to tail is the optimum convex bottom. It offers excellent rail to rail transitions and acceleration on rail as if surfing on a nearly frictionless ball bearing. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
CROWNED DECK and MODERATELY LOW CROWNED RAIL and REVERSE VEE DOUBLE CONCAVE Crowned rail profile for control and reverse vee double concave for acceleration, projection, speed, and maneuverability. Reverse vee double concaves feature a spine from nose to tail. The spine is vee in entry and shallow double concave wide point to tail. Vee is deepest in the nose and entry and reduced as it flows to the tail. The way water flows from the rail the peak of the double concave at the stringer (center of the board) creates additional lift and with it's spine offers exceptional directional stability through turns. |
