[ The Speed Egg ]
DESCRIPTION
The Speed Egg is a versatile and sublime design inspired by and
created and developed with legendary surf gypsy
Rob Yuen
from his lifetime of surfing the points, reefs, and beaches on the Pacific
Coast from Oregon to Baja. Rob's surfing history, his diverse design
experience, and his interaction with surfers up and down the coast are the
origins of this design. Long before the current trend of mid length designs on
offer in surf culture and in the surf market, Rob connected with us to create
the Natural Curves Speed Egg. The Speed Egg is designed for knee high to
overhead waves and all conditions. The design features a relaxed speed box or
an extremely low continuous rocker and the classic Mike Diffenderfer inspired
Natural Curves convex bottom featuring tri plane entry and wide point to rolled
panel vee from wide point to tail. The outline features a full nose and a
classic round pin tail and has substantial surface area for paddling, catching
waves, and stability and control riding waves. The primary fin set up for the
Speed Egg is the classic 2 + 1, but it's also available as a thruster, quad, or
twin fin. These are the key features of this versatile design. The design's
simplicity is fundamental to it's sublime and effortless carve, trim and glide
performance. The Speed Egg is such a basic design it will literally surf
itself. The design is relevant for surfers of every skill level. Expert surfers
can enjoy surfing the Speed Egg in any waves and conditions. Intermediate and
novice surfers can turn, trim and glide in the waves and conditions they surf.
Beginner surfers can accelerate their learning curve enjoying the Speed Egg's
paddling, stability, and control. This classic and versatile design combines
the thrills of mid length trim and glide and shortboard carves and turns. As
it's name implies, the Speed Egg is a very fast surfboard.
