The Slicer

The Slicer is 1974 Surfboards' performance shortboard for hollow, powerful waves. The maker describes a balanced outline with a narrower tail and pronounced rocker at both the nose and tail. The maker links the extra rocker to approaching steep sections and the narrower tail to quicker response at speed. The emphasis is on fitting a more demanding wave face, with the rocker and tail shaping central to the model's design. Construction and setup depend on the order: the US model page offers PU, EPS/epoxy and Full Carbon Vacuum Tech, along with choices of tail and fin arrangement. These are available configurations rather than one standard build, so an individual Slicer's specification needs to be read with its chosen construction and setup.
