X-WING
- Shortboard -
DESCRIPTION
The X-Wing is the most iconic machinery in the Rebel Alliance for a good reason. Easy to ride but capable of impossible maneuvers, you’ll be well equipped whether you’re shooting womp rats in Beggar’s Canyon or taking down the Death Star, i.e., surfing soft, sloppy beach breaks or packing heavy tubes. A performance-oriented shortboard that will feel familiar to surfers with an alternative background or anyone looking for extra foam without losing the high-performance feel. Super-versatile design that works well as a thruster or a twin+ trailer set-up allows this board to excel in various conditions. Proton torpedoes are not included.
Shaper's Notes:
Designed as a high-performance board that suits the needs of the every-man. A fuller outline up front with a top-fluted wing allows water to follow the narrower outline of the tail when going straight while forcing water around the hard corner as you push through turns for perfect hold when you need it and snappy release when you want it.
-
Volume hidden in centerline to allow for extra tight 60/40 rail foil.
-
Fuller than standard outline for extra float, stability, and paddle-power.
-
Moderate rocker to handle wide-ranging conditions.
-
Single to double concave for easy speed and balanced responsiveness.
