The BSAR is Simpo’s 'go to’ daily all-arounder high performance design. We’ve been working on this one and constantly making subtle adjustments. Moderate nose and tail rocker with a nice speed platform in the engine room. A bit of accelerated rocker off the tail. Thicker at the stringer through the center and up under the chest, with a nice refined rail taper. Slight ‘vee’ deck to remove some foam and add sensitivity

An overall lower rocker and a wider outline characterizes this model. Great for everyday conditions, yet works when it gets good as well. The outline is based on some of the very functional curves of the 80's with a fuller template and 'hip' to break up the outline for looseness. All the modern conveniences of contemporary rocker, foil, and contours. One of the most versatile, user friendly shortboard designs.
