Kona Root Beer Barrel 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:Regarding its outline. the Root Beer Barrel features a rounder and wider shape tailored for grovel conditions. Subtle elements like the double concave enable quick rail engagement and sharp turns. Despite the playful appearance of the rounded nose. it enhances paddling mobility and wave-catching ability. The reverse vee introduces an unexpected amount of lift to the board.
Rocker:The board's design incorporates slightly more lift in the nose and kick in the tail. allowing its broader structure into short-radius turns. This design elevates overall maneuverability.
Bottom Contours:Checking out the bottom contours reveals a reverse vee. This thoughtful design promotes water flow. offering drive and bursts of speed on demand while providing that surprising extra lift.
Tail:Often overlooked. the diamond tail amalgamates favourable elements from various tail designs. To optimize the surfing experience with this board. firmly placing the back foot over the tail is recommended. fully capitalizing on the advantages of the diamond tail.
