1. Reduced length in the front section results in less swing weight. A compact boards fits better in most waves – and most cars.

2. Increased curvature in the outline and scoop lines induce tighter turns. Less surface and volume promote controlled landings down after jumps.

3. A fairly straight and parallel outline through the midsection to the one foot mark increase control at high speeds, be in turns or on straight-aways. Just one of the reasons of the versatility of the new concept.

4. The planning – or “working” – surface gets shorter, wider and straighter, delivering more power and drive, yet it is easier to control.

5. The rear foot position remains pretty much constant in relation to the board width (and the fin’s position underneath) but moves closer to the tail.

6. Square tail eliminates drag and promotes snappier turns and more “pop-off-the-top”.
