Similar features to the Retro Gun: / Flat, stable deck with full, steep, low apex rails = Float, paddle power and edge control. / Forward wide point outline and thickness flow, to a wedged beak nose = Wave catching and drive. / Low entry rocker with accelerated tail rocker = Fast out the gate, yet turns tight in the pocket. / Rolled Vee in nose, flat under front foot, and a deep, double concave Vee cutting through the tail
rocker = Slice though wind, chop, and allows the higher volume to sit low in the water. / Winged round pin tail = A release point to keep the board loose.
It quickens up turns in moderate surf, without being detrimental in larger waves.
The overall look, feel and vibe is once again very reminiscent of boards I built for myself (and a few brave friends) in the '80's, for surfing in better days from Trestles to Salt Creek, and down to Mexico. A very user- friendly board, suited for surfers looking for a fast, fun, easy to paddle, alternative, that really works best when most hybrids are reaching their effective wave size limits. Adding to the fun, the Retro Ripper comes standard with era specific, vintage '80's "Mayhem", …Lost spiral and rail logos.
