What can a shortboard surf allow you to do?
Typically, a shortboard is considered a board under 7 feet long, featuring a reduced length and a streamlined outline, which allows them to glide agilely through wave crests and perform precise maneuvers.
Advanced control: The agility and responsiveness of a shortboard allow experienced surfers to have complete control over their trajectory on the wave.
Radical maneuvers: From tight turns to impressive aerials, shortboards provide the perfect platform for executing maneuvers that challenge the limits of surfing.
Mastery in powerful waves: Shortboards are the optimal choice for tackling larger and more powerful waves, thanks to their ability to ascend to the crest and descend with precision.
5.4 Shortboard surf model "Summer Thriller": collaboration with Guillermo Carracedo
One of our latest collaborations has been with surfer Guillermo Carracedo, and we are proud that he chose our "Summer Thriller" shortboard surf model.
This model, in turn, can come with a Fish or squash tail, but what is the difference between them? Primarily, the difference lies in the number of fins.
The Summer Thriller Fish board would have 2 fins, while the Summer Thriller Squash board would have 3 fins.
In this case, a twin fin board (with 2 fins) allows for a smoother "carving" style when surfing, and in some cases, allows for greater speed.
