About

Initially the Super Vee 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. If for example it was a double concave, the stringer would still be sitting below the rail line when the board is inverted. 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. The Super Vee (formerly known as Future Form) has been a huge breakthrough in surfboard design for us. A finely tuned vee that rises up out of the concave and runs the entire length of the board that merges the smooth glide and rail to rail transition of a vee bottom with the drive, acceleration and spark of a concave.
