[ The Pescado Egg ]
DESCRIPTION
The Pescado Egg is a another progressive member of the Mid Length
Egg Class inspired by
Rob Yuen
the Speed Egg Master. It's a creative and unique design incorporating egg
and longboard design features, a fish cut swallow tail, and a twin fin array in
an incredibly versatile and extremely fast design. The Pescado Egg is designed
to perform in knee high to overhead surf in a range of conditions from critical
to mellow waves. The design paddles great, has mobility in the line up, and
catches waves with ease. It offers expectational twin fin speed and
maneuverability, mid length trim, and longboard nose riding performance
features. The rocker, profile, and foil combine mid length and longboard
features. The bottom contours are convex nose to tail. Entry to wide point
features a tri plane with an extremely shallow concave in the center plane.
Wide point to tail features a panel vee with a rolled transition at the
stringer and an optional spiral vee from the fins to the tail. The crowned yet
moderately full rails engage the board in the face of waves with sensitivity
and control. The soft down rails in the nose create lift for nose riding and
trim speed. The primary and preferred fin array is a twin fin with exceptions
for a surfer's preference. Like all mid length designs the Pescado Egg is
incredibly easy to ride. It is a versatile and rewarding design. The design
excels in beach breaks, reef breaks, and point breaks in marginal to perfect
conditions. It offers exceptional performance for novice to expert surfers.
Rob had this to say after surfing his Pescado Egg for a few months, "The
Pescado Egg has opened some old and new maneuvers. Last session had a full rail
cutback back into the pocket to finish the wave. Another was a top turn on an
overhead foam climb where I thought I was stuck up there but the board
released. The nose was buried on the way down and f*#!, I made it and didn't
KOOK. It's a really fun board and has so many different modes of behavior for a
surfboard."
