The ultra-modern Swallow that will wreak havoc in so-called “imperfect conditions” or for surfers who want a board less demanding than a Comp. board.

Introduction

The Fork is THE modern swallow, a perfect mix of perf Shortboard and classic Fish. 

It combines an early take-off for its size, psychotic acceleration, and remarkable maneuverability. What’s better for everyday waves?!? 

Its Round Point nose offers more lift than a Comp. Shortboard, which helps you not to suffer when you’re not a star of the CT. The entry into wave is really easy. 

The generous volume is just what it takes to not become annoying in the maneuvers. The relatively “flat” rocker gives a formidable acceleration. From the first pump the Board springs and you can send a real maneuver. 

It’s very responsive and dynamic large Swallow Tail allows you to push harder in the acceleration phases and curves. 

In addition, the quad assembly offers more grip than a classic twin and facilitates the distribution of support. We have grip but we keep mania, ideal for high speed control. 

We offer the Fork in EPS in 6 sizes: 5’2 to 6’9 to meet all the templates and to match your usage. You can get the volume that is just right for you. No need to overdo it this board that Glides naturally. 

This is a great board for all confirmed riders, able to do everything in imperfect conditions without struggling!

Ideal waves

  • Ideal wave size: from knee height to shoulder height ++.
  • Power: it gives the best in soft to normal waves.
  • Features: it goes everywhere, even in the chop and the wind.

Sticking good pads is therefore essential. They will signal to your feet whether they are in the perfect position or not.
You still have to stick them properly, and some get very creative…
