Best board I’ve ever ridden by far! Even in tiny gutless summertime surf in Florida....

With 3/4 chimes up front and I set with sluicebox channels scalloped and trenched out from just ahead of the front foot through to off the tail. #waterfallingconcaves For extreme lift, drive, grip and glide to transform head high and under pointbreak surfing.

SHAPER BREAKDOWN
Hideoscillous: ie. Hideous Oscillations
from the Latin root hideous to the eye, yet one possessing beautiful oscillating motions in the water.
An extreme combination of modern hull contours produces the glide of ‘free-friction’ between turns which intersects with the hold of a back foot ‘clamp’. A pedal-to-the-metal bear down of ultimate gougeability through maneuvers.
The old adage ‘looks can be deceiving’ & ‘true beauty lies within’ are the driving forces of this compact possessor of an unassuming depth of character.
This one – the Hideoscillous, transforms small surf like no other board I’ve made ’til now – it feels like the board rides on air – no friction – yet holds & corners on rails while balancing controlled lip release.
It’s like a healthy marriage between free friction & ultimate gouge-ability.
I may go so far as to say that this new rocker & steep concave bottom can be placed on any outline & foil to increase the horsepower.
The ugly duckling that transforms into a swan when you step foot on it.
I have been pondering a new paradigm for rockers & hull contours for over three years now. The days pass & I’ve continued to grind out & refine existing concepts … all the while knowing something new was coming. A groaning of enlightened concept awaiting a bursting forth.
Why did I wait this long?
Well, things must germinate … and I didn’t think I could draw in CAD what my mind saw … I would need to hand shape the prototype.
A new balanced/centered rocker, moderate entry, low tail rocker, with heavy heavy tow board-like concaves running nose-to-tail & dynamic steep drop rocker concave running dual inset bonzer-esque caves which exhaust straight off the tail block.
The outline, width & thickness determine the wave type.
SPECS & SUCH
A beach-break friendly shortboard for the smallest, most gutless days. Like surfing your shortboard so your transition back to decent waves is more seamless. Turns the “small wave boo-hoo’s into the small wave woo-hoo’s”
