[ The Peregrine RT 26 ]

DESCRIPTION

Peregrine RTs continue to evolve. The 2026 version features extra volume hidden in the deck for paddling mobility and ever increasing ease catching waves and dropping in to any type of wave from mellow to critical. The extra volume helps create and maintain all performance features. Moderately fuller rail profiles allow surfers to load their board’s rails with increased pressure offering more acceleration, projection, and speed out of turns. Speed is a major factor for creating maneuverability. Slightly deeper single and single to double concaves create more curve in the rail line and rail rocker offering more options in the angles of projection out of turns particularly offering more vertical projection. The powerful vee to double to single concave bottom contour is more common offering maximum projection, acceleration, speed, and maneuverability. Rocker, outlines, and profiles and foils continue to evolve. All these evolving design features are done in moderation and tuned to each surfer's size, technique, and skill. Like every design in the Peregrine Series, the Peregrine RT 26s offer maximum performance in any size waves from knee high to well overhead, any conditions from marginal to powerful, and in mellow to critical waves. The Peregrine RTs are a continuously evolving design.

DESIGN FEATURES

ROCKERS Nuanced Speed Box rocker is the primary rocker for the Peregrine RT 26s. Speed box rocker is versatile and maximizes performance in all waves and conditions. Optional Continuous rocker for particularly critical, vertical, and barreling waves.

PROFILE & FOIL Moderate foil with hidden volume throughout to support the surfer in marginal conditions yet foiled enough for complete control in critical waves.

OUTLINES Round pin, squash, thumb, or swallow. Of note, the RPT option is an excellent outline coupled with the lower tail rocker.

BOTTOM CONTOURS Shallow vee in entry, moderate single concave starting between entry and wide point. Concaves reach 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. The vee to double to single concave reverse vee bottom offers maximum directional stability and maximum power and acceleration.

RAILS Moderately low crowned 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. See essays on
volume and displacement for more insight on how surfer and technique relate to volume and rail volume in board design.

PEREGRINE RT 26 ROCKER OPTIONS

 
SPEED BOX rocker is the primary rocker option for the Peregrine RT 26. 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 with the Speed Box highlighted in red
 
 
 
CONTINUOUS rocker features a continuous curve from nose to tail with minimum reduction of curve mid board. They excel in crisp, critical, steep, and barreling 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 critical and challenging waves without compromising projection, acceleration, and speed.
 
CONTINUOUS ROCKER - Note the constant curve from nose to tail compared with the Speed Box Rocker highlighted in blue and the Speed Box Rocker's speed box highlighted in red.
 
 
 
RELAXED ROCKERS 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 relaxed lower rocker in the nose and tail compared with the Speed Box Rocker highlighted in blue. The relaxed rocker's speed box is highlighted in red
 
 


 
PEREGRINE RT 26s RAIL PROFILE & BOTTOM CONTOUR OPTIONS
 
 
 
SINGLE to DOUBLE CONCAVE with crowned deck and moderately crowned rails. Single concaves and single to double 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. Single to double concave provides acceleration, projection, speed, and maneuverability. Crowned deck and rail profiles maintain control and stability.
 
 
 
 
SINGLE CONCAVE with crowned deck and moderately crowned rails. Single concaves and single to double concaves performance varies moderately. Single concave provides acceleration, projection, speed, and maneuverability. 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 navigating barrels in different waves. Crowned deck and rail profiles maintain control and stability.
 
 
VEE to DOUBLE to SINGLE CONCAVE with crowned deck and moderately crowned rails. This is an intriguing bottom that offers great performance. The vee to double from nose to entry to wide point offer control and lift and the double to single wide point to tail offer power, projection, and maneuverability. Nuanced variations in tail rocker create a variety of vertical angles of projection out of powerful bottom turns.
