Description

The UFO is here! We took the best of our F4 progressive longboard and fused it with the rocker profile of our famous Original model. The F4's elegant lines deliver the speed, the Original's rocker supplies the vertical component! The perfect combo! Our F4 has been really popular with younger competition surfers, and has won heaps of heats and events, due to its great speed and all-round versatility, but jamming it vertical always required extra effort, and many cruisier surfers asked for something a little easier to jam on. Right away we started on a program of tail-rocker experiments, and after several prototypes found the Originals rocker worked the best. That's a 6" nose rocker, and a 4" tail rocker, dropped in late (being fairly abrupt). That leaves the rocker still quite stiff in the engine room under your feet, resulting in plenty of thrust despite the tail rocker. The tail-kick simply allows you to jam vertical, with no loss of speed overall.
