Atypical of how I usually design a board, I designed the Jet without a specific wave range in mind. The encapsulating concept behind the Jet was to design a shortboard where easy of use and performance meet at their maximum cross-section. The purpose being to, disgregarding wave range, find the point where paddle power, speed, user-friendliness are at a max at the same point that performance capability is at a max without one noticeably outweighing the other. The result was an extremely versatile mid-wide hybrid performance shortboard that excels in medium-sized surf but can handle both some groveling and some pushing into bigger surf, and can even be tailored very easily to perfect the desired wave range via the rocker options (see below) and dimensions.
Once the rough design concept was built and the wide range of wave shapes & conditions this board would see were realized, I was tasked with the challenging task of developing & refining the board geometries to accomplish more than any other performance shape I've developed could do. Generate extreme speeds in weak and fairly small surf, be loose & agile enough to be fun in small waves, hold a rail solidly in head high waves, and harness wave power in punchy surf. It was a LOT to work out, but somehow (read: careful & tedious R&D) it all come together absolutely beautifully.
The most aesthetically notable attribute of Jet is its unique "Jet Tail". This tail shape has the overall profile and ride qualities of a squash tail to optimize lift, speed & snappiness with rail line termination incut winglets - directly from the rail line into the squash tail - to give added bite and grip to overcome the incredible lift on high-speed, full-power critical maneuvers. In addition to the Jet Tail outline shape: a single-to-double concaves uniquely fades back to single behind the rear fin and out the tail for extra power throughout the entire tail. For me, the Jet is an essentially quiver board for the year-round shortboarder that bridges the gap between the summer series grovelers and bigger wave performance shortboards.
Origin Nose / Origin Tail
The OR, or Origin Rocker, the Jet was designed with. The OR rocker is the best choice for those who covet speed as the top priority and/or those who want to optimize the low-end of the Jet's wave range. This is the fastest rocker option and therefore makes it the best option for groveling, those who prefer some extra help connection flat sections of waves, or sizable but very fast, racy waves. Beginner - Advanced shortboarders.
Origin Nose / Accelerated Tail
The AT, or All Terrain Rocker, is the most versatile rocker option designed to keep much of the utility, wave catchability and front foot drive of the OR rocker but enhance the off-the-tail performance of the Jet. A similar nose rocker as the OR keeps a nearly identical paddle power & wave catchability while the accelerated tail rocker loosens up the board a bit and tightens its turning radius, enhancing its in-the-pocket & critical performance capabilities. The AT rocker does have a bit less speed than the OR rocker, so it's best for waves with good push and/or size, or for a surfer adept at speed generation. Much like All Terrain tires, it's designed for technical applications across a wide variety of conditions for those looking for a balance between utility & enhanced performance. Intermediate - Expert shortboarders.
Accelerated Nose / Accelerated Tail
The XP, or Extra Performance Rocker, is designed to enhance the upper wave limit & top-end performance of the Jet, especially in consistently pitchy surf. The accelerated nose & tail rocker suit the board best for the upper end of its wave spectrum & even increase it slightly (though it also raises the lower limit as well), offering easier late/steep drops & better control in bigger, hollower, punchier conditions. The most demanding rocker option on the part of both wave & surfer but delivers the highest performance ceiling. Intermediate - Expert shortboarders.

⬩ Medium sized waves are your focus, plus a little smaller and a little bigger.
⬩ Optimal performance is most important to you.
⬩ Precision of maneuvers is more important than looseness but you like a snappy, quick board.
⬩ You're looking for a versatile board hyper-focused on in-the-pocket vertical surfing but can also handle sectiony waves and "small" barrels extremely well.
Consider the Lust if:
⬩ Medium sized waves are your focus, plus a little smaller and a little bigger.
⬩ Optimal performance is most important to you.
⬩ You like a fairly smooth surfing board from rail-to-rail.
⬩ You're looking for a versatile board hyper-focused on fun "small" barreling days but can still surf extremely well on open faces.
