SHORTBOARD SHAPE
The board’s distinctive rocker and classic short-board design works equally well in chaotic wind driven waves or butter smooth reef waves. Its medium width smoothes out the chop and cuts through rough shore break. The moderate tail rocker and slightly increased volume in both the nose and tail give the Burner its speed which it holds through the lulls. The rails are soft in the middle and sharp at the tail for hard cutbacks, slashy turns, and big whoo hoos.
BLUNT NOSE
Although we think it looks cooler, we filed off the nose because, in the long run, a blunt nose is safer and more durable. The blunt nosed Burner fits in board bags better, travels better and won’t leave a mark.
CLASSIC SURFBOARD CONSTRUCTION
There is a rationale why pro surfers prefer classic PU board construction. It just feels better. The softer, more forgiving ride is as close as you are going to get to the original surf feel of PU surfboards. Its multi-layered, specialized fiberglass and hi-tech resin form the top coat. Closed cell PU or polyurethane foam is the only choice for custom board builders. Its surf properties and water resistance are far superior to EPS or Expandable Polystyrene, the foam used in most sandwich boards. Unlike EPS, PU will not absorb water, has superior dynamic flex and can be finely shaped. And together with double wood stringers, our Active Foam Core makes a flexible yet durable platform for butter-smooth turns.
ORIGINAL FCS FIN SYSTEM
Everyone breaks a fin now and then. So it’s important to stick with the global standard in fins for the day you lose a fi n on the reef and the only surf shop has limited selection. The FCS system is the fin system that enables immediate fin changes.
THRUSTER SETUP
The Burner is fitted with the classic 3 fin thruster setup for a looser feel on the waves. Thrusters are known to turn tighter than quads and release easier for cleaner moves on the lip.
