This new 2011 Explorer modge is designed for an all-around travelers shape. Features a curvy, semi-full contours, crown deck, extra volume upfront with a subtle forward volume and foil, semi-full rails with tapering thickness in tail. Incoporates a neutral rocker, bottom contours are flat in nose to double in a flat center to deeper double between fins to slight vee off tail.
Who this board is designed for; someone that is planning on traveling and arrival destinations are to world class surf spots. Ideal for someone primarily riding a longboard/hybrid/egg type shape which aren't ideal for these types of surf spots. Designed for reef pass, points, and good beach break surf. Ride em longer, wider and thick for easy transition for longboarders, or for hybrid/egg guys ride em in the same lengths and narrower and same or slightly thinner.
Hey Wayne, Is this a good board for for the waves I ride locally? Is this the next step forward from the DG egg? Stuart
ReplyDeleteStuart, this shape would complement the the Dyna-Egg. Both shapes would cover a wide spectrum of surf. You can go around the same basic dimensions as the D-E, the Explorer would work well locally in good waves and as a travel partner. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Wayne. I think that's the next board. Talk to you when I get back. Stuart
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip! Catch a few for me! Send me pics when you get back.
