10” TAIL Model
Board Description:
Foam and wood composite. This board has the feeling of a Classic Balsa or Log without excess weight. We finely tune the weight of each board to the rider, and match the total weight (rider+board+fin) with the weight suited for his or her desired style of surfing.
Note: When the weight of the board is centered in the middle at the stringer the board reacts much more lively than heavily glassed longboards. The result is quicker recovery from turns and an increased rail to rail turning ability overall! This unique feeling of “Bounce-back” is something that is very noticeable in both the 8” TAIL model and the 10″ TAIL models.
50/50 to 60/40 rails from nose to tail. Low rocker entry. Signature nose concave (comes either blended or “kinked”). After the nose concave the bottom has a slight roll toward the rails, and then breaksaway to a rolled V bottom tail. The tail rocker is more pronounced at the last portion of the tail, but fairly low throughout. This makes for incredible noserides that keep you locked into the power part wave. Each 10” TAIL model comes standard with 3”- 6” custom tailblocks made unique for each individual board and each unique rider. Each tailblock uses custom resin color and exotic soft and hardwoods from throughout the Hawaiian islands, such as Koa, Mango, Williwilli, Ohia, Kukui, Breadfruit and Coconut to name a few… These models carry our signature custom stringers from 2 inches to 5 inches wide depending on the weight required for each board.
The 10” TAIL model comes standard with our custom signature Arclight Wood Fin paired to match the tailblock and stringer work. Available in glass-on (preferred) or 10” finbox.
What to expect from this board?
Clean fluid lines while turning and making cutbacks, with plenty of trim speed for turning and noseriding. Great board to practice your footwork on. Very stable and a very fast paddler with momentum to carry you through sections of whitewater. A classic longboard that you will have in your quiver for a very long time…
