NDR - Customize
THE ONE BOARD QUIVER KILLER.
The NDR is an extremely versatile board design that is proven to rip in both small mushy waves and steeper powerful waves! Originally intended for smaller surf, the board has a very neutral and natural board design - meaning there is nothing too extreme going on with its overall template. The nose and tail rocker are relaxed, the bottom has a very slight single to double concave. The rails are neutral, more tapered than boxy. The most “extreme” design element is how subtle the volume is foiled nose to tail - with the volume located just where you need it for paddling. These neutral design elements came together and team riders discovered it easily paddles into much larger waves than originally intended! Originally available as swallow tails, I started to put round tails on them which opened them up even larger waves. Added versatility includes the 5 fin boxes so it can be ridden as a thruster or a quad as the size of the waves dictate.
Doc's Board Recommendation*
- 5 Fins
- Swallow or Round Tail
- No Channels
PU Polyester
- The standard blank, offering a classic feel and smooth ride. Known for its flex and responsiveness in a variety of wave conditions.
- Polyester Blank
- Polyester Resin
Poly with Epoxy Resin
- Stronger than polyester resin and makes the board more durable.
- Polyester Blank
- Epoxy Resin
EPS Epoxy
- Great strength to weight ratio.
- Lighter and stronger than a polyester board in the same dimensions.
- Slightly more flotation.
Single Slot Channel
- A single slot channel is a singular, short groove starting about 10 inches from the tail and getting deeper as it exits out the end of the board.
Benefits:
- Improved Drive: The single slot channel helps direct water flow, providing the board with extra drive and speed, especially in smaller, weaker waves. A great alternative to having a center fin on twin or quad fins.
- Control: It offers enhanced control by channeling water more directly under the board, making it easier to maintain a stable line during turns.
- Versatility: This channel design is versatile, performing well in various wave conditions, from small beach breaks to bigger surf. Adds a little grip to your rip.
4 Channel
- A 4-channel design features four grooves on the bottom of the board. A slightly longer center channel. The outside channels are a little shorter starting from the back quarter of the board, starting shallow and progressively get deeper as it exits the tail.
Benefits:
- Speed and Lift: The 4 channels create lift by directing water flow more efficiently, allowing the board to plane better on the water's surface, which results in increased speed.
- Enhanced Grip: This design provides additional grip and hold during turns, making it excellent for carving and generating speed through sections of the wave.
- Responsiveness: The configuration of the channels offers more responsiveness in turns, allowing for sharper, more precise maneuvers.
- Aesthetic Appeal: High-gloss shine enhances visual appeal and makes the board stand out.
- Durability: Offers a little bit of strength and durability.
Protects the crucial area of the board under your back foot. It’s worth the price if you are hard on your boards and have a tendency to crush the tail with your back foot.
