The genesis of the Turbo Ripper is right in its namesake: to go FAST and to RIP. Simple concept, difficult execution. 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 high performance 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. Focus less on pumping, more on surfing.

Moderate nose rocker provides enough needed for steep, late, hollow drops, while the moderately mid section & tail rocker creates an extra gear as a tri fin, and two extra gears as a quad. The 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.

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.
