THE RAPTURE

The Rapture is a squashed down version of a traditional round square thruster designed to have minimal surface area to volume ratio. The Rapture has a smooth, relaxed rocker with low to medium lift in the nose and similarly low to medium tail lift. The foils of the board are quite unique and are designed in a way to maximize volume distribution throughout the shape. The entire deck of The rapture is almost flat, finishing with a bevel edge which runs along the entire length of the rail from the tail to the nose. This reduces the rail volume and maintains sensitivity in the board during rail to rail transitions. The creation of the hard edge at the rail also has another effect on the boards performance during critical maneuvers. The edge provides a flat surface for the water to shear off which reduces drag, thereby enhancing speed and performance. The Rapture is the ultimate small wave performance board for radical surfing.
