This shape is a mix of thirds to me: 1/3 things I've known, 1/3 things I thought Rasta would prefer, and 1/3 total experimentation.
She's a rather sleek fish, with a relatively small swallowtail - a balanced hybrid performance fish, based on some older curves of mine & updated for this project.
It’s low, flowing rocker is designed to provide planing speed, but the complex bottom shape takes that into a different dimension, offering multiple rocker lines nose to tail: the rail rocker delivers a smooth, continuous line for power and flow in turns, while a distinct kink and release behind the fin, caused by the channel exit, adds some release and punch. Meanwhile, the center-line rocker is lower in the front for maintaining paddle speed, transitioning into an accelerating curve in the back for dynamic roll and looseness underfoot.
Flanking the channel is a wide, flat plane for a responsive, skating feel, while the narrow central vee under your back foot adds control. It’s a radical blend of opposing design philosophies, giving you speed, power, and versatility all in one board.
