The legendary Mako twintip is more radical than ever with improvements in construction that make it lighter and give it more reactive flex. The Mako design has gained huge following over the years for its unique shape and design elements that all work together to give the Mako its own brand of riding character. The rounded and narrow tip and tail combine with some massive, edge to edge, bottom concave that bleeds into down-turned rails. This bottom shape along with the single, centre fin at the tip, allow the Mako to carve effortlessly through chop. It also makes it easier to hold an edge through gusts or turbulent waters. The rider doesn’t have to exert as much pressure to carve and turn the board upwind as rails sink and slice through the water with much greater ease and it carves on edge with more stability and less effort. This unique outline and bottom shape give the rider confidence to hold the edge through any bumps and it also offers some surf capability with its edgy, smooth carving feel. Great board to learn to ride toeside with as the tail is more narrow and the natural biting force of the deep concave makes it easier to hold an edge. For jumping, the Mako doesn’t have the big pop, or quick release of the standard, four-finned, and wider tipped freestyle twintip boards, but it lets the rider load up with lots of line tension and speed. Hold the edge a little longer and don’t push off too hard on the take-off and the Mako can soar. The concave can also assist in softening landings and any level of rider that likes to cruise through messy chop, and find some nice rolling swell to carve some turns on, will love this board. With the rounded pin tail ends and slight rocker in the tips, the Mako carves smoother arcing turns than many freestyle twintip style boards. The Bliss pads and straps are very comfortable with dual density EVA foam beds that have lots of cushion underfoot. This strap system is easy to mount and has lots of adjustability for any sized foot. Some great new upgrades to this classic and unique design, the Mako Series is available in four length and comes with two G10 fins, designed specifically for this legendary board.
