It is short, wide, thick, flat and fast! A super fun board for any type of small wave conditions, from beach breaks to point breaks. If you get it on a small day at a point break it will really excel. The bottom contours are flat in the front third of the board, and blends to a slight single and vee off the tail. This board was damaged in transit and is sold as a blemished product. Board was professionally fixed and color matched.
