Model Outline

User-friendly hybrid outline featuring a generous wide nose template paired with an expansive swallow tail. This configuration delivers enhanced forgiveness through turns, exceptional paddling power, and just the right amount of lift upfront to keep you gliding with ease over fat or mushy sections without pearling.

Bottom Contours

Slick bottom with single to double concave and Vee, masterfully paired with a gentle rocker template. The gentle rocker profile assists in quick positioning and confident, predictable turning. This is backed by a technical hull contour featuring a slight single concave that progresses into a double concave with Vee through the tail, running alongside medium-to-full rails and a slick bottom design that smoothly cuts through the water to reduce drag, maximize speed, and maintain absolute control.
