FEATURES

• Mid-length size and full outline are designed for entry level, intermediate, or anyone looking to cruise in waves where your shortboard won’t cut it. Sizes available from 7’0”, 7’6”, and 8’0 in length (Volume range: 44.3 Liters, 52.5 Liters, and 61.3 Liters, respectively).
• Double round-end profile, slightly widened nose with plenty of surface area that glides right into waves for easy paddling and easy takeoffs.
• Medium rocker and rounded tail shape allow for smooth, arching turns.
• Versatile fin box can be ridden as a single fin or single +2 fin setup for speed down the line or extra hold through turns in more critical surf.
• EPS + Epoxy Construction: Super durable, strong, flexible, and higher ding resistance than traditional polyurethane/polyester construction.
• Gravity Glassing with S-Cloth fiberglass: greater strength and less weight than common E-Cloth fiberglass.
• Ability Level: Entry Level - Intermediate - Advanced - Fun for All Levels.

 SPECS

• Futures fin boxes: 3 fin-box setup for options to ride as a Single fin or single +2 setup, depending upon surfer preference, style, and surf break.  For a limited time during this product launch, starter fins are included with your board order!
• EPS/Epoxy Construction: Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam is much lighter than polyurethane (PU) foam and has a more buoyant feel to it, as it sits a little higher in the water, measuring 1/3 the weight of PU foam on average.  This is beneficial for building speed faster, also making it easier to glide through flat sections.  The combination of EPS and Epoxy resin is stronger and more flexible than traditional PU/polyester resin, allowing it to snap back into shape with less denting than PU/polyester construction.
• S-Cloth fiberglass: S-Cloth is made from higher quality raw material (magnesium) than E-cloth and is about 30% stronger and 15% stiffer than E-Cloth. In very basic terms, it has a tighter weave with more fibers per square inch.  Most commonly used to provide greater strength with less weight than with E-glass, S-Cloth is ultimately compatible with epoxy resins.  More impact resistant to heel dents and pressure dents, extending the durability and longevity of the board.
• Gravity Glassing: This glassing technique allows the resin to soak up into the fiberglass cloth, creating an even and full saturation of resin, leading to less resin puddling and potential fragile areas on the board surface.
• Made in the USA at Foam Works Surfboards in the Outer Banks, North Carolina.

GRAPHICS EXPLAINED

Our Lady of Guadalupe (La Virgen de Guadalupe) appeared in Mexico as the pregnant Mother of God to Blessed Juan Diego, an Aztec Indian, on December 9, 10, and 12, 1531. She left a Miraculous Image of her appearance on his cactus fiber cloak, or "tilma", which still exists today for all to see in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. She put an end to the bloody human sacrifice of the Aztecs and converted nine million natives in the 7 years after her appearance there.
