The Groove is on the soulful end of my midlength offerings, and it's all about the ride-feel! Part speed egg, part mini-glider; it's designed to provide an easy yet sensitive, feel-good ride. It's NOT the board to be attacking the lip on or anything like that. Rather, it's meant to work with the flow of each wave. The Groove is designed to find, lock into and surf the pocket, with the semi-wide pin tail providing a super-smooth, fluid, connected ride. Designed to be walked, from the tail to cheater-5s, the Groove has a semi-pinched rail progression with a mild tucked hard edge in the tail, and progressive bottom contours to enable a beautiful blend of a trimmmy, sensitive wave-feedback feely ride yet just enough of positive response to keep the board feeling good when turns and minute adjustments are required. While the Groove can handle a variety of well, it was ideally designed for very typical east coast down-the-line pitchy, bowly beach break when you've got hollow little pockets and anything from short shoulders to long walls beyond it. Pop up, drop in the pocket, and let the wave create the groove...

The Groove was designed as a single fin, though there are the options to order it as a 2+1 for a litte extra insurance in bigger, hollower surf; or as a Quad+1 for added versatility and two very different ride-feels!

Order the Groove if:
⬩ Paddle power, glide & soul are more important than performance & agility.
⬩ You like to sit as far outside as possible to catch waves as early as possible.
⬩ Walking the board and cheater-5s/noseriding is important for this board.

Consider the HSS if:
⬩ An even balance of paddle power, speed, glide, agility & performance are important for this board.
⬩ Versatility across a wide variety of wave sizes & shapes is desired.

Consider the Coconut if:
⬩ Performance & agility are more important than glide, speed and paddle power.
⬩ Hollower waves and steep/late drops are more important than a variety of wave shapes.
⬩ Medium and bigger waves are more important than small-to-medium surf.
