Future Form

Initially the Future Form started as a concept to allow my big wave boards to get over on the rail easier. I knew a vee would do this, but I was also very aware of the limitations of the vee and so I tried combining the vee with the concave. My initial concern was that the vee would still push water and that I would be trading off some speed to gain manoeuvrability. All our team riders are now riding the Future Form in all their boards and we've noticed a substantial jump in the level of their surfing since getting on them. While our customers, like ourselves, are finding that after surfing this type of bottom contour, that standard concave boards feel slow and clunky in comparison. If for example it was a double concave, the stringer would still be sitting below the rail line. Even though this difference might appear to be insignificant, the difference in feel, response and performance of having the rolled vee rising up out of the concave is completely different to a double concave or concave vee.
