Kona Root Beer Barrel Carbon Series Surfboard
The Root Beer Barrel is an incredibly versatile surfboard, showcasing its prowess in two to six-foot waves. Packed with additional features and some intriguing hidden characteristics, this board delivers a fantastic surfing experience.
The double concave, ingeniously compensating for its extra width, allows the board to lean on its rail effectively in critical and hollow situations while effortlessly soaring over dead sections. The reverse vee makes the Root Beer Barrel somewhat unique, providing extra lift over flat sections, seamless rail-to-rail shifts, and unwavering speed.
This board is more than just an all-around groveller; it surprises by holding a rail in bigger conditions. The unique diamond tail design combines the instant bite of a square tail with the stability and hold of a pin tail, ensuring a steady and biting performance in all conditions. Although its rocker is less relaxed than some models, leaning towards an all-around grovel board, it remains effective in weak surf.
Outline:The rounded pin nose and wide point pushed farther back than a traditional fish is fast down the line. The deck domes under the chest for more volume and stability without sacrificing performance. The rails are nice and sensitive. The additional speed created by the outline is balanced nicely with a wide swallow tail which will give the rider more bite on the wave.
Rocker:The lower rocker has plenty of flip in the nose to prevent pearling but enough flat section to get into waves and keep you moving down the line.
Bottom Contours:A single concave to a double concave keeps the board fast while a vee through the tail helps turn the board nicely.
Tail:By lessening the vee in the tail compared to a traditional fish. the swallow tail is not as loose. Maintaining speed throughout the board. the swallow tail gives you more control on transitions.
