[ The Peregrine | Step Down ]
DESCRIPTION The Peregrine is a step down high performance shortboard designed 1" to 2" shorter than a pure shortboard. This design offers shortboard performance in both marginal and critical smaller and medium size waves. These shapes evolved from surfers looking for a shorter tighter turning radius to maximize performance in these conditions. The shorter rail line makes it an excellent design for vertical maneuvers. This shorter compact design performs in larger surf as well. The Peregrine has evolved into an every day board for performance surfing. DESIGN FEATURES Rockers: Speed Box rocker is the primary rocker for the Peregrine. Speed box rocker is versatile and maximize performances in all waves and conditions. Optional Continuous rocker for vertical and barreling waves or Relaxed rocker for marginal and moderate waves and conditions. Profiles: Moderate foil with sufficient volume throughout to support the surfer in marginal conditions yet foiled enough for complete control in critical conditions. Outlines: Round pin, squash, thumb, or swallow. Bottom Contours: Shallow vee in entry, moderate single concave starting between entry and wide point. Concave reaches maximum depth near the leading edge of fin array fading through the fins to the tail. Optional single or single to double concave from the wide point to the tail. The single and the single to double concaves both offer considerable lift, acceleration, and speed. Rails: Low yet adequately full crowned rail profile. Rail volume varies with surfer's size, technique, and preference - more rail volume for techniques that generates greater displacement - less rail volume for light footed techniques. Marginally fuller than the rails of the Redtail Pocket Rocket. See essays on volume and displacement for more insight on how surfer and technique relate to volume and rail volume in board design. |

PEREGRINE ROCKER OPTIONS |
| |
|
| |
Speed Box Rockers
Speed Box rocker is the primary rocker option for the Peregrine. 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. |
| |
|
| |
Relaxed Rockers
These designs feature low tail rocker and relaxed entry rocker. This rocker
profile excels in marginal and moderate conditions by generating and carrying
speed in and out of the pocket without sacrificing control in powerful
surf.
|
| |
Relaxed Rocker - note the low relaxed rocker in the nose and tail. |

PEREGRINE RAIL PROFILE & BOTTOM CONTOURS |
| |
|
| |
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. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
CROWNED DECK and MODERATELY LOW CROWNED RAIL and SINGLE CONCAVE Crowned rail profile for control and single concave for acceleration, projection, speed, and maneuverability. Single to double and single concaves performance varies moderately. Water flows in a smooth arc from rail to rail in single concaves enabling powerful, stable, and predictable turns. The smooth rail to rail water flow enables maximum controlled power through turns and nuanced turning radii for a wide variety of turns and barrels in different waves. |
