[ Contemporary Performance Longboard ]

DESCRIPTION

Contemporary Performance Longboards are designed to offer a surfer progressive turns, trim, and nose riding in one versatile surfboard. The rocker, profile, and outline have curves that fit and trim tight in the pocket and on the open face of waves. Outlines are marginally narrower than traditional long boards and feature a narrower nose and tail. Convex bottom contours provide lift, glide, and control featuring subtle tri plane from the nose to entry to wide point and panel vee with soft rolled transition along the stringer from wide point to tail. Optional shallow concave in the center plane of the tri plane from the nose to entry to wide point offers excellent forward trim speed and stable nose riding. Rails mimic contemporary shortboard rails - low neutral nose, entry, and wide point to tucked edge in the tail engaging and releasing the board in the face of waves with predictable control. Lighter foam density and glassing schedule contribute to notably more sensitive performance than Classic LBs.

DESIGN FEATURES

Rocker: Continuous. Profile: Moderate foil with a lot of hidden volume. Outline: Round pin, squash, or square. Bottom Contours: Tri plane nose and entry to wide point. Panel vee with rolled transition wide point to tail or optional spiral vee fins through tail. Optional shallow concave in center plane of tri plane nose to wide point for forward trim and nose riding. Rails: Low thin profile or low fuller profile - tuned to surf conditions, surfer's size, displacement, and technique.
