Those waves inspired this board´s design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasically the whole concept is to fill the gap between your performance short board and your step up by adding performance to your step up. Many riders have the GERR as a go to short board and the CARRERA as the recommended step up board. Between those two is the WATER LION, designed to start working well in 3 foot (head high) proper hollow waves and can definitely push it to 6-8 foot surf (double to more than double over head) no problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe outline has same concept as the CARRERA with the fuller front end for paddling, which is what you need to get out and into bigger surf. Although as the tail is pulled in to handle larger surf it ends in a baby squash tail. This tail was influenced from one of my shaping heroes, Pat Rawson. I have always been attracted by the baby squash tail that he used to do in the 80s and 90s, so this is a little homage to him. What the baby squash tail does opposed to the round pin is it brings two pivot points to the tip of the tail to allow the board to go rail to rail quicker.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a demo store.

The more parallel they are, the fastest the board goes.” Following this approach, Axel also acknowledged it would have a negative impact on manoeuvrability hadn’t he deepened the single concave; “deepening the concave in the Pukas Dark eases the manoeuvrability, which I also enhanced by adding a classic kick tail.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMick Fanning believes that a good board “has to perform well in all conditions”.
