Who - Intermediate to advanced surfers looking for a short and wide board with plenty of glide, will love this fish alternative, the Retro Tripper. Fans of the Retro Ripper will enjoy this board for surfing punchy and powerful waves with precision, confidence, and control. Fast and skatey this board will also provide an advantage for intermediate and advanced surfers in everyday fun surf.
When - The Retro Tripper excels in good waves, powerful waves, hollow waves, fast waves and big waves, but is still wide and skatey enough for every day fun.
What - Based off the Retro Ripper chassis, but significantly shorter (with lower entry rocker), thicker, wider and with a forward outline. RETRO TRIPPER is similar to ...Lost's classic MonkFish-round pin, ridden by Cory Lopez, in his seminal Skeleton Bay segment, from 5’5” Redux. The Flat deck, forward outline and foil, steep downward rails and wide outline make for a stable, easy paddling momentum making machine. The bottom curves, with a soft rolled vee up front, blending to
the slightest of single concave though center and gradually receding to a double concaved vee
in the tail, combine with a curvy tail rocker and wing enhanced reduction of surface area. These
elements align for a forgiving and precise ride than negates the significant volume and allows
nimble surfing and high speed and in critical sections. Whether tossed in the bag for a “TRIP”,
paddled out for punchy local beach break mornings, or saved for lined up days at the closest
pumping point break, the RETRO TRIPPER will deliver. Glassed standard with single sided opaque laminations and minimalist logos, for a stylistically mellow 70’s gold than an in your face, 80’s bold.
