只是將 Go Fish 部分進化,讓 Go Fish 跑起來更快,感覺滑溜而且輕鬆,我很喜歡它,衝了幾年使我想感受更高的性能,更多的carves、轉彎的角度能夠更緊。所以Seaside就是淬煉Go Fish的精華……減少板尾的面積,縮小燕子的尖端,創造更多的角度並縮小板頭,所有的元素都是為了在衝浪時可以擁有極大的樂趣。
Seaside只有設計Quad set,為什麼?
我決定,如果我要製作quad,我會製作一個嚴格的quad set…在其周圍設計凹面和板底輪廓。實際上,我重新設計了我在 Moonbeam 和 Go Fish 上使用的整個凹面設置,並牢記quad set,以便它們可以一起使用。
These are crazy times! When conspiracies become realities, and creativity manifests to functionality.
Introducing the Flat Earth: a board built to shred ankle high to overhead surf. Designed by Akila Aipa and dialed-in by Kelly Slater, this model is ready to be your go-to board whatever the conditions of the day.
Finesse and flow in waves chest to head high, sized at your normal shortboard volume or a couple liters more.
Experiment with a twin + trailer or twin without trailer, because this shape surfs on a spectrum from loose and slidey in smaller sizes with two twin fins, to grippy and drivey in larger sizes with a trailer added.
In summary, let the Flat Earth blow your mind as a twin fin, or sip the serum in doses with a trailer fin.
Feel the speed.
Hit the lip.
Bury the rail.
As Akila’s dad – the great, surfer-shaper Ben Aipa – would say, “HOOK IT!”
I like to think of the guy at VG’s Donuts that glazes the donuts. Pretty important dude. Kinda makes or breaks a donut.He’s the GLAZER.
And then you have my number one test pilot – TODD GLASER. He’s been riding this board for close to a decade. We’ve been modifying and tweaking it for years. A little bit of width here… a touch of thickness there… back and forth until we finally agreed that it was ready.
Very round and sleek curves. Gentle rockers. Easy to ride for all levels and easy to ride in all types of waves.
Machado說:「我真的很想玩魚形長板一段時間了...自從我和skip frye待在一起那段時間他向我展示了7'0的魚板,就一直在我腦海裡揮之不去。我一直在思考,第一次嘗試製作了 7'0 長度的 GO FISH ,這張板子真的和我心中想像的一樣,而且非常好衝,接著我又做了一張 7'0 長度的seaside,它變成了我最喜歡的一張板子。現在,不管是及腰的小浪或是一兩人高的浪我都衝它,任何日子不論去哪裡我也都帶著它!」
