Who- The Baby Buggy Round is ideal for novice to advanced surfers.
When- This model is for a variety of conditions. Sub-average to good days ranging from thigh + to head high. Can handle softer/slopey as well as punchy/critical waves.
What- The Baby Buggy Round is very similar to the Baby Buggy but it turns the “send” knob up a bit for stronger/more critical waves. The rocker, rails, foil, and concave remain the same, but the tail is pulled in at the 12” mark to accomplish its Baby Thumb Tail. This increases quick precision turns and high speed confidence. It came to be so that Taj Burrow could more comfortably ride this Alternative HP Surfboard at more of his slabby Western Australian breaks. Expect the Baby Buggy Round to still shine in the slop, but also expect the high end capabilities to be elevated.
Radiator 4 Channel
Furthermore…..We have been building them with four "radiating" channels through the tail. Unlike classic parallel channels, these "R-4" Channels are fast and free in smaller to average surf, because they are toed in to work with the fins and encourage radical turning and create drive in tight radius arcs. Classic parallel placed channels go very fast down the line and feel great in powerful, driving surf (but tend to be sticky and track in quick turns). The two outer channels are aligned parallel with the front fins, angled towards the nose and the two inner channels are toed in a touch less than the outer two (similar to running inner quad fins with less toe than the front fins). All four fins angled to the same vanishing point up front, and radiate outward, with the fins, back through the tail. By simultaneously cutting through the curve in the tail rocker, as they radiating out the tail, the "R-4C " provide the sensation of added grip and drive, gaining speed through turns. They excel in not only clean waves, but also liven up even soft and sloppy surf.
