Monsta shortboard. It's Alive
From: proctorsurf
I've created a monster....no, a monsta....another in the new "Wild Turkey" series... This cheeter board keeps the speed constant, yet has the hold of a normal good waves shortboard. It is similar to the falcon, but with a slightly more pulled in nose and a wide squashtail for maximum lift. Where the Falcon had a spiral vee contour running through the fin cluster, I've plowed all the guts out of it and left one deep even concave with subtle inset doubles running through the fins and even concave running right off the tail block. When I shaped the first one, I didn't think it would work, but somehow the water compresses through the tail just fine (I think cause of the concave off the tailblock) and makes for a lightning fast board that you can push full force on the tail block without worrying about any slipping. Basically you get all the speed of the Rascal and Falcon, but you never have to let off the gas going into or coming out of maneuvers. Ride this one 3-4 inches shorter and " wider than your standard good waves shortboard. The high performance great grandchild of the Rascal.
