DESCRIPTION

The genesis of the Turbo Ripper is right in its namesake: to go FAST and to RIP. Simple concept, difficult execution. I really was asking a lot of this board with high levels of performance in so many aspects, but I really couldn't be more stoked on the result. It's pretty easy to design a board that goes fast, and actually pretty easy to design a board that rips. The difficulty is designing a very high performing shortboard that does both and feels seamless between the two with virtually no compromise. Believe me, I know how markety that sounds, but something really special was captured with this board and its unique shape dynamics. The Turbo Ripper is THE board designed to allow you to make both barrels & critical high performance maneuvers that you thought were impossible to make in sizeable, fast, critical & sectiony waves. The paddle & speed you need to get into waves and race/make sections, the vertical capabilities & snappiness for unfettered top turns, the hyperagility needed to make instant micro or macro adjustments to hit a section or thread the needle through a wonky tube, and enough smoothness needed to maintain full control. Focus less on pumping, do more surfing.

Moderate+ nose rocker provides enough needed for steep, late, hollow drops and vertical attack entry, while your rocker choice between [OR], [AT] OR [XP] will hone in the wave size and/or ride feel you prefer (see Rocker Options seciton below for more detail). The more obviously unique aspect of the Turbo Ripper, unique nose-to-tail deep double concave gives the Turbo Ripper incredible lift, drive and responsiveness while maintaining phenomenal agility to turn and move on a dime in dynamic, racing beach break. It's paddle power is, surprisingly, great as well. Not the easiest paddler, but keeping everything in perspective: for its class, really is excellent.

The diamond tail is perfectly suited to provide all the snappiness and agility one needs, yet provides a little extra connectivity & stability at the top end of its wave spectrum, in the barrel, and on high speed full-power square bottom turns. However the tail shape is of course customizable, with squash, thumb, or round tails as options for example.

The Turbo Ripper has 3 rocker options to best suit your custom board towards your individual style & goals. Check them out below.

ROCKER OPTIONS

OR [ORIGIN] ROCKER
Origin Nose / Origin Tail

The OR, or Origin Rocker, the Turbo Ripper was designed with. The OR rocker is the best choice for surfers who really covet speed and/or have difficulty keeping pace with fast waves or generating speed. The performance is still excellent with a bit of priority given to inherent and generated speed. This is the best option for groveling as well. Beginner/Intermediate - Advanced performance surfers.

AT [ALL TERRAIN] ROCKER
Origin Nose / Accelerated Tail

The AT, or All Terrain Rocker, is designed to keep much of the utility and wave catchability of the OR rocker but enhance the off-the-tail performance. 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 performance capabilities as well as providing more user control over speed. 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, simultaneously raising the wave range of the board a bit. Intermediate - Expert performance surfers.

XP [EXTRA PERFORMANCE] ROCKER
Accelerated Nose / Accelerated Tail

The XP, or Extra Performance Rocker, is designed to push the upper wave limit & performance of the Turbo Ripper. The accelerated nose & tail rocker suit the board best for the upper end of its wave spectrum & even increase it slightly, offering easier late/steep drops & better control in bigger, hollower, punchier conditions. A great option for those who prefer surfing a slightly shorter board with bit more width than a super needley high performance shortboard in bigger conditions. Intermediate - Expert performance surfers.

COMPARE

Order the Turbo Ripper if:
⬩ Punchy fun-sized/medium to bigger sized waves are your focus.
⬩ Critical, in-the-pocket, vertical performance & turns are more important than just barrels, but barrels are a need as well.
⬩ You prefer a snappy, quick, agile feeling board.
⬩ You're looking for a versatile board focused on in-the-pocket vertical surfing but can also handle sectiony waves and barrels extremely well.

Consider the Love if:
⬩ Bigger waves are generally the main focus.
⬩ Barrels & supreme control are the most important aspect, but excellent big carves & vertical performance are very much needed as well.
⬩ You prefer a smoother surfing board than snappy with a more premium locked-in feeling in the barrel or steep drops.
⬩ You're looking for a versatile board focused on barrel hunting but can still surf extremely well on open faces and in the pocket.

Consider the Jet with [AT] or [XP] rocker if:
⬩ Medium to manageably bigger sized waves are your focus.
⬩ You want a very healthy amount of performance but also want to maximize ease, user-friendliness, speed and fun-factor than a traditional narrower performance shortboard.
⬩ You prefer a snappy, quick, agile feeling board.
⬩ You're looking for a versatile board focused on in-the-pocket vertical surfing but can also handle sectiony waves and barrels extremely well.

Consider the Turbo Dream if:
⬩ Bigger, more perfect/consistent/punchy/lined up waves are your focus.
⬩ Optimal performance is most important to you.
⬩ A very snappy, quick releasing board is needed.
⬩ You're looking for a board hyper-focused on in-the-pocket vertical surfing in very good waves.
