The Whale

It’s not a fish…
The Whale boards are a new type of surf style freeride board.  On these shapes we moved the wide point on the nose of the board back to match where the nose rocker starts.  This makes the board initiate a turn quicker than a normal shaped board with nose rocker.  By moving the wide point back it makes the effective edge shorter than normal making the board feel shorter than it is.

“ The Whale gives you versatility - something not common enough in powder specific boards.  An unmistakable freeride board with some serious front end rocker that could easily come with a manufacturer’s warranty against ever taking a nose-dive.  The intimidating design is only part of this weapon’s effectiveness.  Making it more deadly is the widest part of the nose is brought back to the point where the rocker begins.  By doing this, the effective edge of the board is reduced giving the board a shorter feel.  The bottom line with The Whale - you basically get two boards in one - on that provides heavy artillery in hostile situations and another that has Ninja style reflex.”
