[ The Wolf | Step Ups ]
DESCRIPTION The Wolf is a step up high performance shortboard designed a few inches longer and marginally thicker than a pure shortboard. This design extends shortboard performance into powerful and larger heavy water waves. Extra length and hidden foam in the profile provide better paddling, easier entry, and improved acceleration and projection in critical and powerful waves. DESIGN FEATURES Rocker: The Wolf features either Speed Box or Continuous rocker. Speed box rocker is versatile and maximizes performances in all step up conditions. Continuous rocker is an option for vertical and barreling waves. Profiles: Mimics short board profiles with emphasis on volume for paddle and entry in step up conditions, yet foiled in the nose, tail, and rails like a pure shortboard. Outlines: Round Pin 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: Moderately full yet low 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. |

WOLF ROCKER OPTIONS |
| |
|
| |
Speed Box Rockers
Speed Box rocker is the primary rocker option for the Wolf. 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. |

WOLF 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 flow 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. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
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. |
