6'10 edge board oxblood

George Greenough's design theory lives on for a new generation of surfers

An edge bottom utilzes two planing surfaces to maximize volume and width for paddling while minimizing drag when riding on the wave face. At planing speed the board lifts onto the narrower interior hull while the hard edges rapidly displace water flowing diagonally beneath the board. Less wetted surface area in the water means less friction which translates to more speed.

Whether beach or point or reef, these shapes excel in waves with speed and tension in the face when you can truly feel the acceleration take hold. The combination of soft outer rail and interior sharp edge combines release with hold through turns and makes edge boards almost preternatrually responsive.

Much thanks to Greenough for pioneering edge board design and passing down knowledge to many talented shapers who continue to make non-linear wave riding innovations.
