GREEDY
BEAVER (TT)

5’8″ x 20″ x 2 5/16″
(32.1 litres)
FINS: 5 Fin Setup- Tri/ Quad
SHAPER: Firewire

The Greedy Beaver has a real shortboard feel with a compressed longboard outline, a true crossover board with mid length retro glide and shortboard manoeuvrability. Put it on rail while engaging the single to double concave, step on the rounded pin and it surfs like a shortboard in the pocket. Or take advantage of the single to double concave and large planing surface to trim effortlessly over dead sections. The bevelled rail reduces the overall thickness, adding performance including rapid direction changes. Raise your wave count every session with the paddle power of the greedy beaver while turning on a dime as you thread your way through the pack.

BAKED
POTATO (TT)

5’3″ x 21 1/4″ x 2 3/8″
(32.4 litres)
FINS: 5 Fin Setup- Tri/ Quad
SHAPER: Dan Mann

Dan Mann has struck gold again … Yukon gold. The Baked Potato offers the same small wave performance as the Sweet Potato with a few subtle design adjustments. The nose is pulled in slightly and some of the rail volume has been removed to allow for even faster rail to rail transfers. The Baked Potato has the same aggressive double concaves and ‘v-spline’ running down the center of the board which allows the board to get up on the rail much faster than the overall design would indicate. Primarily designed for smaller, weaker conditions, it will surprise you by its performance characteristics, and how the quad fins set further back and closer to the rail than usual, allow the board to hold without sliding, even in larger surf. Get cooking on a Baked Potato.

THE SLAB
(FST)

6’0″ X 19″ x 2 3/8″
(28.7 litres)
FINS: 5 Fin Setup- Tri/ Quad
SHAPER: Jon Pyzel

The Slab by Pyzel represents John Florence’s ideas refined into his perfect free surfing model. John wanted three inches off the nose of his normal shortboard and an increased tail rocker. This resulted in a fuller nose, fatter top section and an extremely high performance fun board that goes well in a range of conditions.
