Monsta

I’ve created a monster….no, a Monsta…

This is the most popular and widely ordered board I have been making over the last three years….it has become most surfers’ “normal everyday board for all conditions”. The only complaint has become, “I don’t ride any of my other boards anymore!”

This new life form is the high performance great grandchild of the Lil’ Rascal….it has morphed, grown a bit sleeker, but has stayed true to it’s roots of blistering speed through its heritage of a shorter, wider, stalkier persona. Where this offspring has matured and pushed past it’s predecessors is in the area of versatility and in-the-pocket mobility. The Monsta keeps the speed constant….you don’t have to rely so much on the wave dictating where you’ll derive your speed from….the board just goes, yet has the hold of a normal good waves shortboard when you bare some teeth into your turns. Where the Rascal utilized a spiral vee contour running through the fin cluster, I’ve plowed all those guts out of the Monsta and left one deep even concave with subtle inset doubles running through the fins…as well there is also concave running right off the tail block; we call it the ‘exhaust pipe’. Ride Da Monsta 3-4 inches shorter and 1/2” wider than your standard good waves shortboard.

WAVE PREFERENCES: knee high and mushy to head high and hollow
FIN CONFIGURATION: thruster or five fin option to ride as tri or quad
AVAILABLE TAIL CONFIGURATIONS: wide squash, wide hip-squash, swallowtail, thumbtail
RECOMMENDED RIDER TYPES: I use three different rockers for this board depending on the waves in your area:
the v.1.3 being the most user friendly from novice to expert and working in the widest ranges of wave types and sizes;
the v.1 being the flattest and best for mushy small point surf;
and the v.2 has a bit more rocker and can handle the demands of hyperactive rippers who can’t stay out of the pocket, or for surfers who’s local spots tend to be small, but can still be small and hollow at the same time i.e. the N.Y./ N.J. beachbreaks, Newport, Huntington, Texas, Japan, etc…small beachbreaky kind of stuff…found all over really…

Product Specs:
Dimensions: 5'7" x 19" x 2 1/4"
Tail Shape: squash
Construction: Carbon Rail stringerless Proxy composite
Fins: includes fins; choose Future or FCS


PROXY composite construction with unique, high impact epoxy foam blank

[a lightweight foam that yields a higher compression strength & has very limited water absorption if dinged];
highest quality epoxy resins engineered for maximum break strength, as well as a “loaded” rebound response characteristic.
The carbon used to reinforce the rail lap matrix is woven in a specific pattern/gauge ideally suite for maximum performance & strength.
The carbon reinforced rails in combination with the stringerless blank provide an enhanced flex characteristic that is very noticeable for surfers of all skill levels.

A stringerless board exhibits incredible flex, torque & recoil through turns.

However, with no center stringer, the board’s break strength (also called ‘tensile strength’) is significantly diminished. By reinforcing the lap, or rail area of the board with carbon, the enhanced flex characteristic is maintained, while the structural integrity of the board’s break strength is kept intact. This is because boards break by creasing from the rail & buckling inwards, not from the center out. Case-in-point: How many times have you seen a buckled board creased from the rail, across the deck and stopping at the stringer? This is where the placement of a high-grade composite like carbon is strategic in reinforcing the board’s rail strength… without constricting the increased flex pattern.

The Carbon Rail stringerless construction yields an increased flex pattern

that gives more speed through the flats and a rocker that warps into the steep parts of the wave face; forming into the shape of the wave creating a slingshot effect both into and out of maneuvers…..IT’S ALIVE!! Even now more than ever…..aaaarrrgghhhhh!!

It’s also 3-5+ times stronger than a poly.

Welcome to the dynamic world of spring-loaded rocker; a board that self-adjusts its rocker to fit the changing curve of the wave. Todd & Nick explain.
