Board Review
A performance shortboard alternative to the fish. Turns like a conventional tri-fin but with the glide of a fish.
Offering a full nose and tail and a progressive rocker with a deep single to double concaves, the GX a very versatile performer in small surf. Recommended to be ridden 1-2" shorter and 1/4 - 1/2" wider than your everyday shortboard. More |
