"RIDE THE SNAKE"

THRUSTER/
SQUASH TAIL

 

The Black Viper represents our pursuit of achieving optimal foam distribution to balance planing ability and rail agility. A curvy outline with a slight blended hip makes this board feel like your step down to paddle and while planing through flatter sections, while its quick off the bottom and holds in the pocket in more powerful surf. The medium boxy rails mean you have a drivey connected feeling the length of the rail through the tail while staying free and forgiving up front. It wraps, whips, bites, and glides in anything from waist to slightly overhead high surf of all varieties.

Constructions

We've done it all. Here is what we like best.

Premium PU

There is nothing quite like a brand new PU /Poly straight from the sanding room and into the water. The feel and the flex is confortable and predictable. Built right, and cared for properly a PU can last you several years and sometiimes decades.

At the smallest sizes we use all 4 oz. By the time we get over 32L we do the top layer with 6 oz.

Stock Glassing :

  • Deck: E Glass + S Glass (Full Patch) + E Glass Tail Patch
  • Bottom: E Glass

Premium EPS

EPS Epoxy builds can be lively, with a ton of long lasting pop. 

The cores are super light so we can add extra reinforsement. The glassing schedule below is our original schedule and has become the industry standard for high performance long lasting EPS Epoxies. 

Stock Build :

  • Blank: +2lb Marko EPS Core w/ Stringer
  • Deck Glass: Warp Glass + Biax
  • Bottom: Warp Glass

Anti-Carbon

The absolute best flexing epoxy boards we have built. It blends just enough give with excellent rebound is this ultra minmalist glassing. Carbon tail patches can increase “tail cancer” and carbon strips, particularly the ones that don't run the lenght of the boards, can actually cause buckles. So we are saying no to carbon in this Anti-Carbon constuction. Its light, strong and has an insanely intuitive flex response. 

Stock Build :

  • Blank: +2lb Marko EPS Core - Stringerless
  • Deck Glass: Warp Glass + Biax
  • Bottom: Warp Glass
