This is my step up model for those heavier days - more volume under the chest allows getting into bigger waves, which is critical to get a good line. This, combined with more rocker for gets those steep drops while fitting into hollow waves better, plus low rails for bite and hold - so there is no sliding and the nose is not too pulled in but narrow enough with a tighter tail area. Tested around the world by the worlds best, this board comes with a very strong glass job for strength and extra drive.
