These boards open up a world of possibilities...

From nose to tail, both the 12''6” and 14'' Open Ocean Downwind (race) boards are purpose made to ride wind-generated waves and swell. The curved rocker line of the nose, sweeping elegantly upward in combination with its added ‘plum'' volume, prevents nose diving during critical drop-ins, while the transition from a flat planning surface, into marginal double-concaves, assists in accelerating and shedding water directly under the working area of the paddler.

The 12''6” is suited to the smaller rider searching for fun and the convenience of a small and highly maneuverable ocean board, while the 14''0” board is designed for the serious downwind paddler, looking for the highest levels of performance for pleasure or competition. The winged squash-tail design, keeps the width as far aft as possible to ensure maximum planning potential, before narrowing inward. The added chine and aft ‘V'' bottom profile, assists rail transition at speed, when the water ‘hardens'' under pressure. Hard rear rails, assist with directional stability at speed. Rail thickness has been kept adequate to ensure that even at slow speeds or when stalling in the trough, the paddler''s weight will be supported.
