The Popsicle




I named this model "The Popsicle". It is a shape that was born from the collaboration between my buddy Pat "The Rat" and I. I basically helped translate Pats vision into physical form. Pat is a local surfer that I've known since I'm a kid. He was like the older brother at my local break.  

"The Popsicle" 
Features a semi soft rail from nose to about just in front of the fin cluster with a slight edge underneath the roll. The bottom has slight belly in the nose with a shallow single into a deeper double under that back foot going to a rolled V just out the tail. This board will have the option for a few different fin setups. The shape is super versatile and will work with most fin setups. This prototype is going to outfitted with 5 fin boxes to accomplish a few different fin setups such as Thruster, Twin, Twin with a center stabilizer and last but not least quad for drive on the mushiest days.
