"2024’s runaway small wave shortboard hit… The RIPPER, is now available with a round tail.”
The round tail gives The RIPPER more range in a wider variety of waves than the original squash tail excelled in.
Reducing surface area in the last few inches of the tail lends more control, at higher speeds and allows more precise turns in tighter, powerful pockets. With only a minimal loss of lift and effectiveness in the smallest surf, the RIPPER Rnd makes up for it, with increased effectiveness once the surf gets a bit more size or punch.
Whether it's long drawn out carves on overhead walls or quick snaps and gouges in curvy, dumpy waves, the round tail elevates The RIPPER beyond being a small wave, grovel specialized surfboard. The rocker, rails and bottom remain relatively unchanged, but the nose is just slightly narrower, and the tail foiled out a bit, as well.
We set up the stock dims to be ridden 1”, or so longer than the original, squash tail, version, for an effective a One-Two punch, mini quiver, in most the surf you will see in a typical town.
