From Left to Right.
6′0” x 18 3/8″ x 2 1/4″ Tangent with a concave deck , rp tail , print on cloth art work done By Rosie Young 5 fin option (quad or tri). Old faithful , if there is size and you dont want to go to a step up I could see this board being an option.
5′10” x 18 5/8” x 2 1/8” eps foam, concave deck Whip swallow tail (but glass shop put a flyer logo on it). He test rode this board as a tri a few days ago at Rincon and his words were, “If I could only take one board to the Gold Coast for the Snapper event it would probably be this one, it feels really good!” He has won the contest on a Whip before , a great board for the different sections snapper offers.
These next two are very similar to what Kelly rode at pipe this year when he placed 2nd and in Mexico when filming the Quiksilver slow mo Cypher vids with Dane and Julian . It’s a 5′6” x 18 5/8” x 2 5/16” reworked Flyer , bat tail quad , tri option , also with a concave deck but this is a single stringer version , not the dual stringer like he had last year. This board is very fast , a section maker for sure.
His classic 5′4” Wizard Sleeve 19 2 1/4” , rp tail , also a tri or quad option . If its a bit punchy and you want to get off more turns in a smaller are , this could be the board to ride.

That Tangent is an awesome looking board as is the whip. I’d like to know a little more about the concave decks…how much foam is being taken out? Keep up the good work guys!
