Dahlberg 'Rocket Rod' Shortboard

Description

"The Rocket Rod is a small wave performance board, shorter and wider than your standard shortboard with a fuller outline and lower rocker but not a full blown fish. Moderate single into double concaves for grip and squirt and a swallow tail for releasing pressure off the wider pod. Set up with the tri / quad option, quads aren't everybody's cup of tea but I love them." Rod Dahlberg

Absolutely love this as my allrounder. Bottoms turns strong and maintains speed really well through turns. Perfect as a performance small wave board.
Awesome board

Rocket Rod is a cool surf board
(1) it has great paddle power with more foam hidden under your chest and gets you in early
(2) the outline gives you more down the line speed , with acceleration when surfing rail to rail , especially in hard turns like cut backs and snaps
(3) the slight vee and more foam in the tail makes super responsive , with pop and makes it easy to go rail to rail
(4) 5 8 rocket rod, I weigh 68 kilos waves surfed 4 ft beach breaks
(5) fins I chose fcs2 medium performer
(6) great strong glass job
(7) just a great money for value board and great service , with shipping from sideways
I would surely buy again
