BOWA

BOWA

Best Of whats around

Riding off the back of the FM and Thicklizzy, as well as the Bigpin, BOWA has the best elements of almost all of my midlength designs all whacked together - The goal being a board that glides and paddles like the Lizzy, carves like the FM, and cheater 5’s and trims forward like the BigPin. It is designed to be surfed in flatter-faced or more gentile surf like C-st, San-O & Malibu, but clearly the back end means business like the FM and can handle very good surf.

The nose is broad and thin, with a low rocker so paddling and wave entry is top-notch. The rails and back-half of the outline come from the ThickLizzy, generating TONS of speed from minimal conditions. The bottom shape and fin set is clearly an FM derivative - incredibly smooth carves and powerful projection off the bottom.

*This design can be ordered as a twinzer, single or 2+1 - I won’t discriminate given that its already a big mixup of other boards and the shape lends itself VERY well to a singlefin/2+1 approach.

*The ideal size range is pretty wide-open: from 6’10 clear up to 10’6 - though I will start to suggest single and 2+1 options once we’re talking about 8’10” or so.
