Equalizer

7’0″- 9’0″

The Equalizer really puts you on an equal playing field with longboarders in paddling and wave count but it will perform a lot better than a longboard. It’s a higher volume version of the Squashed Egg, wider and thicker, but with more rocker and a variety of performance designs on the bottom it goes more vertical and responds and releases quicker.  Pictured here is an 8’0″x 17″ x 22 3/4 x 15 1/2 x 3 3/8, volume 70 ltrs, EPS/epoxy.

The Equalizer has a high performance bottom shape. Because of the higher volume I added a forward rail bevel on the bottom from the nose down to about 1/3 board length, flattened out by mid board, and the rails are stepped down on the deck so it still has performance down rails and bite, you’ll be surprised how responsive it is. There’s a concave nose so you can still stand on the nose and make slow, mushy sections, then it transitions from single to double concave through the middle of the board with a V bottom starting slightly aft of center and transitioning to flat panel V out the tail. The hard corner squash tail also helps it to release easier. The Equalizer is quick rail to rail for a board of this volume. This model paddles and catches waves like most longboards but is much quicker and more responsive. The Equalizer dominates with wave count and performance.

This model is a variation of the Hi Performance Hybrid. The rails are stepped down on the deck so it still has performance rails and bite. With a slightly more pulled in nose the bottom runs single concave from the nose down most of the length of the board and blends into a double concave V from the fins out the tail. The bottom rails are beveled also from the nose down most of the length and flattens out where the V begins. This board is fast and loose so the double wings pull the tail in for precise turning and the swallow tail gives the hold and drive when you need it.

Any surfboard model can be custom made to any size, width, thickness, tail shape, poly or eps/epoxy construction. What ever you want can be made custom for you.
