Lake Dagger - 6'7" x 19" x 2 5/8" - EPS/Epoxy - Stringerless

A Post!..?

colours and textures

We know, we know - very little posting has been happening for the last few months and we apologize.

But we have been working on some really different and unique shapes over that time - building, testing and refining designs to better taylor the growing population of progressive surfers on the lakes.

The Lake Dagger - 6'7" x 19" x 2 5/8"

Stringleress thruster with parabolic rails and diamond shaped deck patch. Boxy, fifty-fifty rails provide stability and a bit of forgiveness while on rail. Standard squash tail short board the Dagger' shares similar dimensions to a traditional "big guy s/b". The wide point is just shy of centre promoting back foot surfing and quick turns.

The idea of having a stringerless board is to focus energy on the loading rail while driving through a turn. Then releasing the energy stored in the stiffer rails to ad drive and liveliness to your surfing. This all equates to a light and semi-disposable surfboard that's got "pop!"

50-50 rails, keep em' boxy

A crowned deck and narrow nose are indicative of a smaller ocean chip' type boards. To offset this, The Dagger' has lower rocker throughout the length of the board. Allowing the surfer to swim and plane faster in the mushier waves typical of our beachys'.

The board is a personal board and one for the testing grounds. The few surfs on it have been very helpful in gaining insight to how this smaller dimensioned board rides in the smaller surf. We will be building more of these types of boards in the near future and will taylor them even further for a handful of trusty waves arounds the lakes.
