An Absolute "Back to the Roots" Feeling
Fancy some new sensations? Or should we better say... Wanna go back to the roots of surfing? If we were to describe these boards in some kid of way, the word would be classic. They are inspired by the oldest classic surfing we know, combined with an original design that makes them stand out, just like Alex Knost does. We love the fact that an special, unique and perfectionist artist as Knost, characterized by his uncommon style, decides to go for such a classic approach when it comes to surfboard designs. Oposites attract, and this combo is a winner.
With the double logos on the front, these boards are like a box full of surprises, hand-shaped for advanced surfers looking to discover new sensations and experiment with their surfing style.
· ABOUT THE BLIMP ·
The Blimp model is a single fin that looks very similar to the Virus Squash Thumbtail but with a swallow tail. Weird right? Well it's an absolute pleasure to ride this in the water. With a slightly wider and less rounded nose it gives you the feel of a fast board. The thickness at the front half of the board turns it into a long line surfing gem that gives you that down the line speed and the opportunity to make delicate manoeuvres.
· SORRY... WHERE DO I SURF THIS? ·
These boards are designed with easiness in mind. As we already mentioned, they are as classic as surfboards get. Made for good chest to overhead high conditions at point breaks that give you the space to flow on the wave and to let the board surf itself while you just enjoy feeling the wave.
