Who - The V3 Stealth lends itself towards the intermediate and advanced levels. Low intermediates can still enjoy this model especially with the available Domestic dimensions. Beginners will find other models much more suitable for their needs than the V3 Stealth.
When - The V3 Stealth likes and needs a bit more of a wave than the previous V3 Rocket, but is still more capable in marginal conditions when compared to a “traditional” performance shortboard. Average to good conditions in the waist to head + range is ideal.
What - The V3 Stealth is a performance-enhanced version of the V3 Rocket which diminishes a bit of the low end condition prowess, but adds flare and maneuverability in its ideal wave range. The V3 Stealth’s nose and tail have been pulled in more so than the V3 Rocket to resemble a more “traditional shortboard”. The nose and tail rocker have been increased to deliver more performance however the center rocker is still relaxed enough to deliver drive in flat/mushier sections. The exaggerated double flute in the tail adds two points of traction and allows it to pivot off the flutes by reducing surface area at each flute. The reduced surface area of the tail (in relation to the upper ¾ of the board) will provide tight turns and allow for increased hold within steep/critical sections.
The bottom contour is a strong single concave from the nose down into the tail. This concave efficiently channels water down the center of the board creating tons of drive and speed that will have you carrying momentum from section to section. These characteristics work together to enable glide and the ability to surf more precisely in flat or steep faced waves. If you liked what the V3 Rocket had to offer, but felt it had limitations as the surf improved and or wanted a more tapered/profiled version, then the V3 Stealth is one to strongly consider.
