The Wildcat channel bottom twin is the second offering under our Velocity Project label, which we was tried, tested and refined with our team riders and friends for over 2 years. It’s finally ready for everyone to enjoy!
Inspired by beautiful twin-fin designs of the past, built with my curves and contours. The boards look and feel timeless, yet allow the type of modern performance that we strive to bring to all our boards.
The bottom curve is clean, and relatively flat, offering great paddle speed and easy acceleration from the moment you get to your feet. A single/double concave runs throughout the bottom, blending into a moderate V and 4 channels running off the tail. All of this is designed to help the board roll from rail to rail, add a little extra bite off the bottom and quickly respond to weight shifts while easily flowing over softer sections of a wave. This helps increase your speed as you push it through turns.
The outline is a blend of traditional and modern as well, with the wide point just up from centre, moderately wide nose and a classic single wing rounded pintail. The wing and the pin work in conjunction with the channels to provide both drive and manoeuvrability, allowing for snappy, pivoted turns and sweeping carves.
The nose is a refined beak (you know we love these), which lets us run a touch more thickness up under the chest area, keeping you more on top of the water while you paddle. The rails have a modern shortboard feel, but with extra foam taken off to aid in sensitivity and bite.
For sizing, go an inch or 2 under your Daily Driver type board, and a half inch to an inch wider and a touch more volume.
