BLURB                             

A winner for the ages. Probably the longest running model we make. Made to surf as a shortboard for the approaching 40 surfer when there was no such thing as a mal really (early 80’s) and now loved by all as either an all round board that paddles well but still can go in the steeper parts of the wave and do some serious turns. Popular with longboarders who want to surf hard when the waves are up. Also a winner with beginners who don’t want to look like a mal rider but have the float and paddle power of a mini mal.

Size Range 6’10” to 7’6”

BLURB

The narrower nose template on this makes this model more serious. Also the concave

combo offers more overall speed and drive for the more experienced surfer. Can ride

solid surf on this one or as a shortboard for bigger blokes.
