This is a brand new 8’0” Fowler Platypus, comes with a Hand Foiled Volan Fin. These boards are so much fun to ride. It catches waves with ease, and it’s easy to go down line of a wave, turn, pump, it does it all. Here’s a description of the Platypus Pig from Bruce Fowler “The Platypus Pig has been designed incorporating the widest point well behind center with an apex rocker shift thereby dramatically increasing maneuverability. Originally, Dale Velzy took a surfboard template back in the late 50's & flipped it around making the tail the nose & vice versa. The result was a very easy to turn surfboard. By expanding upon Velzy's simplistic approach, The Platypus feels like you are cuddled into a cockpit with nothing in front or in back of you. Think turn, and you are already going there! These low resistance vehicles are easy turn machines because the bulk of the board is directly under your feet while the rest of the board seems invisible. The aft shifted planshape, combined with an uber sensitive rounded bottom & staged rocker delivers the sensation of an uber loose "ball bearing" beneath your feet that maintains drive thru turn & cutbacks. . Platypus has the ability to launch big airs if that's your thing, but at the end of the day, this is a fast, easy surfboard to ride in a wide variety of wave conditions. Commonly surfed as a Single or 2+1 fin configuration, but that doesn't disqualify it from a 4+1 option that allows you to experiment further. Available in a variety of lengths or custom PUPE & EPS Epoxy builds.
