Phoenix

Dimensions:  7’4” x 22” x 2 ¾”

Volume:  50.6 L

We designed the Phoenix to be a fun board for fun waves. It’s an eggy mid length Magic Carpet, which is in essence, a longboard with the central 2 ft removed. This creates a board that paddles and catches waves like a longboard but turns tighter and quicker.  

A great board for short boarders looking to inject some trim and glide into their surfing and for long boarders looking to have fun on something a bit shorter. 

This design incorporates a wide template, plenty of volume and a relaxed rocker for easy paddling and a high wave count.  A belly in the nose helps with the relaxed rocker and displaces the water on take-off to avoid pearling.  This flows into a single concave to give lift and drive under the front foot, which then splits into a double concave with vee out through the tail. This vee aids rail to tail turns while the double concave keeps the rail locked into the face on the steeper wave sections.

The Phoenix can be ridden as a single fin or set up as a 2 + 1 to add versatility and increase control in bigger surf.

We named this board The Phoenix as it was one of the first boards we made from Paulownia.  Paulownia is sometimes known as the Phoenix tree as it has the ability to regrow from its root stock after harvesting, born again like a Phoenix out of the ashes.

We can make this board for you or you can make it yourself on one of our workshops.
