About

Model: Shovel-tail Drifter

Available Lengths : 8’6”-11'

Fins: 2+1 Futures or FCS-2

Features: Gloss and Polish, resin color, handshaped by Chris.

The Shovel-tail Drifter is the high performance flagship of the brand. Chris shapes this design with performance off the tail as well as Nose riding in mind. The rocker is moderate but not flat. It allows for surfing in juicy waves and the vee in the drifter tail coupled with a double concave under your rear foot makes the turns free and effortless. The signature nose bevel and single concave make for amazing nose rides and prevents digging in the soup. The Drifter tail also has deck side ridges that act as a slot channel on the top side. This feature is unique in that it holds the tail steady during nose rides. Available in sizes from 8’6”-10’ the Shovel-tail drifter is a must have for surfers looking to do more than just go straight. Gloss and polished finish and color are stock features along with removable fins.
