Demo

Finished this threesome a few weeks back. All three are currently being put to the test on some worthy southern California north west swells. From left to right the first board is a 5'10 x 19 1/2 x 2 3/8 single fin short board stinger. The second is a 5'10 x 19 1/2 x 2 3/8 double bump swallow tail with a quad fin set up. And last but not least a 5'10 x 19 1/2 x 2 3/8 with a traditional 80's style outline equipped with a classic hip and thruster set up. For information on the boards or to demo feel free to shoot me an email to make arrangements.

Diamond Tail Nose Ridder

The featured board is my diamond tail nose ridder. Standard dimensions are 9'8 x 23 x 3 with a long blended nose concave that transitions into belly and V. These boards come with turned up noses and tails that are complimented by a medium 50/50 rail. The diamond tail is the perfect compromise between a round pin and a square tail. The end result a high volume tail that turns on a dime.

Diamond Tail

Part of a demo series I recently build this little diamond tail seemed to capture the most attention. At 5'10 x 19 1/2 x 2 3/8 this full out line short board provides plenty of volume without sacrificing performance. Ideally this board is designed to be an every day ridder. The wider nose and tail can accommodate all types of waves and by changing the tail shape the design can be dialed in to fit a specific purpose. If you haven't seen it already check out the clip below of Kahana putting it to work. This board is also available to demo through Aloha Sunday. They can be contacted threw their link on the blog referral column to the right.
