Performance & Behavior

• Glide: very smooth and fast thanks to the low rocker curvature and generous volume

• Stability: wide tail provides excellent lift—ideal for heavier riders or in tight turns

• Maneuverability: balanced 2+1 configuration; allows you to surf with a single fin for a retro style or more radical with 2+1

• Versatility: classic surfing with elegance, or a more modern approach—it adapts to your style and the waves you encounter.

Target audience

• Beginners & surf schools: stable, forgiving board, ideal for beginners

• Surfers of all levels looking for a durable, affordable board that performs well in all conditions
