Avoquado

DSC_0601.jpg

Wide and round, just like an avocado. For when the surf is...less than perfect.

Designed to make less than waist high, crumbly, onshore wind driven, weak, sloppy waves ride-able. A very full outline, and deep concaves, to provide speed and lift in small and weak surf. These features are coupled with several performance oriented design aspects, including a distinct hip, diamond tail, and a transition to concave vee in the tail; allowing the wide outline and concaves (normally difficult to transition rail to rail and turn hard in the pocket) to be controlled and surfed faster and tighter, closer to the feel of your normal shortboard.

Despite its sloppy wave origin, it does do well in faster clean surf, but does not have the hold of some of our hybrids and shortboards in waves over 5 feet (it definitely prefers the ankle-shoulder range, and crumbly waves in particular). Use it to carve up weak waves or small fast days when you otherwise have to ride your log.

    Designed for waves 0-5 feet. Like all models, it can be customized to rider request. Not suitable for step up conditions. Most riders will enjoy one about 4-6 inches shorter than their own height.
