{{This design is another shorter version of our Hyperlink design that started from the Stiletto gun design concept. The general idea behind the Hyperlink is to create a board with a very well defined cockpit that features a lot of curve in the outline to enhance the turning abilities of the board. The nose is kept as narrow as possible to keep it out of the way. Tail is kept pinched to enhance the quad layout.

For a board this length it is fairly wide, this was done in order to put more spring in the outline. When viewed with the pulled nose and tail the board looks normal and balanced for its length.

The bottom designs features our standard bottom with a single concave through the center of the board, going into a deep bowled double concave, into a vee out the tail. This type of bottom lends the board a lot of squirt and is a great compliment to the quad layout for the fins as it helps channel water flow to the fins.

Rocker is very strong in the tip area of the nose and then again in the tail, while the rocker through the center of the board is a little flatter to enhance speed and give the board good paddling power.

Fin setup is our standard quad layout close to the rail and slightly further forward than normal.

The construction is either polyurethane/polyester, some versions have also featured our V-Lam bamboo deck patch.}}

{{This is our most recent SUP design, in this case it is a gun version for Felipé Pomar. This board is built on many of the concepts of our modern guns with the wide point well back and utilization of the width to put some real spring in the outline.

In order to maximize the volume and flotation on the board but without affecting the sensitivity of the rails, it features a bevelled deck rail design. This is comprised of a very flat deck that extends out to within about 4” of the rail, at which point the rail is bevelled down at roughly a 45º angle to a more normal thickness rail. This keeps the rails relatively thin for better performance, while allowing the board to carry the maximum amount of volume. This type of deck also enhances the stability when standing on it for long periods of time.

By utilizing the reduced nose area these boards have far less tendency to wander when being paddled. Part of the reason for this is also due to the fact that the wide point is so much further back, such that the surfer is typically almost standing right on the wide point. As opposed to design with the wide point forward where they are standing well behind it and following it around!

The bottom design for the board is identical to that of our modern guns with a vee through the nose rocker, leading into a strong single concave through center of the board, flowing into a deep bowled double barrel concave, and vee out through the tail.

The rocker is generally identical to that of a typical gun this size, although it is slightly flattened through the center of the board in order to enhance the speed and paddling ability.

It is setup primarily to be ridden as a quad, although it does have a 10” center box that has not been used to date. The quad setup is a lot further forward than on a typical gun this size in order to really help the turning abilities of the board.

This board has turned out to be an excellent performer in a wide range of conditions, while still being a great fitness board for paddling around on flat days. It has been ridden in very large surf and has proven that a wide board need not affect the performance of a gun. It is prompting us to explore making regular paddle guns that are much wider than the norm, stay tuned!}}

{{In this design we are utilizing the same bottom design as our guns and longboards, but in a single fin. This dramatically increases the performance of these single fins without compromising the beautiful feel from a traditional single fin.

One of the main changes in the outline of this design from the normal retro single fin is that the side point is not as far forward. The reasoning behind this was to put a little more curve int he tail of the board to enhance the turning ability. This makes the whole board work better with the bottom design utilized on this design. The bottom features a single concave running into a deep bowled concave, and then with vee through the tail.

These boards are designed for long point breaks where they can effortlessly carve the face of the wave.

The true definition of fun!}}
