PROTO : 8'6 Slider !!!

Here is the Slider 8’6, a pure concept around rails shapes.
Round on the nose with a bubble up and down the rail: it provides a great grip without pushing water. Perfect for finless rides and surf the board tail first.
Very sharp in the center part to let the rail enter the water as much as it can, killing the planning effect of the rail. By this way the board enter the turns perfectly.
Hard on the tail part, coupled with a nice concave bottom, for a powerful grip providing speed and acceleration.
The shape has large tips with double diamond ends. Easy to paddle and fast on slow waves.
The goal is to offer the best surf possible with the smallest fins, or no fin. Shaper : Patrice Guénolé et sa Slider 8’6 XTR. Source : Team GONG SUP, stand up paddle pioneers.
