FREEDOM SEED

- Alternative Shortboard -

DESCRIPTION

Liberty loving gun enthusiasts sometimes use the term “freedom seed” for their bullets and this speed-loving groveler’s outline is a bit too similar to a 9mm round to ignore. Liberate your passion for easy natural speed and snappy driving turns even when the small-wave man is trying to keep you down. Tons of foam packed into a performance-oriented package so you can catch weak waves without sacrificing maneuverability. If the Freedom Seed is your every-day-carry, you’ll paddle easy, get into waves early, and scratch your high-performance itch often.

Shaper's Notes:

The optimum balance between high-performance and high volume for when your need to bang a good turn lines up with less than desirable waves. A performance oriented groveler outline similar to, but much fuller than the Dime is matched up with a flat deck and steep bevel down to a tight rail profile; the result is a board with a ton of float when you need it while preserving access to tight short-boardy responsiveness. Paddling, wave-catching, and speed generation is a breeze, but the tight driving turns are what you’ll remember even when waves are forgettable.

Mellow entry rocker for speed with extra tail-kick and high-diamond corners for release
Single to double concave with vee for max speed, water-flow control through the fins, and easy rail-to-rail pivot despite the wide tail
Tight 60-40 rails with hard tail edge extending farther forward to facilitate better drive and release in weaker surf
5-fin option allows for versatile setups to dial in the perfect feel whether your surfing sloppy ankle-biters or pushing limits into good head-high waves
