Mantra
Experimental shape with a fun & free surfing envisioned. You might find yourself going back to it, like a mantra, expanding your surfing experience.
Attributes
Small, stubby fun shape to get through those months when it’s mostly onshore and small. Similar dimensions and attributes to a classic keel fish: flat rocker, flat deck, low rails, and wide outline. A proven recipe to go fast and make the most of weak conditions.
It has a arc/diamond tail, that maximizes lift and creates more release, giving a free, skatey feeling to get creative whenever a section presents itself.
Another modification is the double barrel concave that runs in the back third of the board. This channels water under the back foot between the fins, resulting in more speed and lift to get you flying across flat sections.
An exciting alternative if you want to have fun on days when you wouldn’t go out; and still try to make some manouvers like tail releases or even go for an air on the end section.
