Accelerator
This board is specifically designed to make small wave performance surfing easy. You get fast-driving speed bursts off the front foot and hair-trigger, tail whipping warp-arcs off the back foot. A wider nose outline and low entry rocker get this board into waves quicker and blot it down the line faster. A bendy tail rocker sweeps off the back fin making it quick and responsive in tight rail-arcing hook-turns. An even single concave runs through the midsection of the board making for a “wide open sweet spot” i.e. the board wants to go even if you don’t have your feet right in the perfect spot every time.

Right at the fins the rocker ‘drops out’ and the single concave goes deep....this creates what feels like an engine under your back foot. The deep concave forms an air pocket as well as a straighter path to compress the water through the extreme rocker of the tail....this air pocket acts like a gas pedal or “accelerator”...push back on the tail and it rockets through turns like a piece of ice on wax paper.

Here’s the dimension I suggest based off your normal “good waves” shortboard: ride this board one inch shorter, 1/4" wider in the middle, 1/2" wider in the nose, and 1/8” wider in the tail. Go with the same thickness just with a fuller, boxy rail. This creates a flatter deck which gives the board a springier flex pattern....key for that extra little thwang in small waves.

Oh yea...as a bonus, it also goes looneybinsmental in everything up to slightly overhead.

Skill level: intermediate to advanced
Type of waves: primarily designed for knee high to shoulder and weak, but it goes great in everything up to slightly overhead.

gets into the waves very early and easy February 26, 2010
Reviewer: Noe Bagtas from Redondo Beach, CA  
My accelerator is the best shortboard I have ever had.  The accelerator gets into the waves very early and easy, generating a lot of speed without even trying.  

I haven't been this stoked about surfing since I was a kid.  For the first time in my life I feel like I can do anything I want on a wave.  

I will never again buy a board off a rack at a surf shop.  I will only order custom.  I will keep in touch with you guys when I get more boards.  Do you do Proxy's on both of these boards?  Thanks again.

Noe
