About this board
The 7S Double Up aims to increase your wave count and improve your small wave game. This is the flattest surfboard in the 7S range, and it has the highest volume-to-size ratio. For these reasons, it’s fast, has plenty of flow, and is the perfect weapon for fatter, sub-par conditions

OUTLINE: The nose and tail dimensions at 12″ are the same, creating a larger sweet spot and a more stable planning zone. The full nose further adds stability, and the squared-off tail lets the width extend further back while still delivering the smooth transitions between turns a round tail is known for.

ROCKER: With an emphasis on everyday conditions, flat equals flow, so the Double Up will slide into waves with ease and maintain speed over dead sections with minimal effort. Slight lift in the nose and tail will satisfy the more experienced rider looking for a summer groveller.

CONTOURS: Subtle yet effective, the slight concave up front creates lift when taking off, then a double concave starting in the mid zone leads into a shallow rolled Vee off the tail. This bottom combination maintains exceptional speed in softer waves, while providing a nice balance of control and quick turning response when pivoting right off the tail.

PERFORMANCE: The Double Up is fast off the mark and super easy to turn. Think summer beach breaks or soft point waves where you need a board with enough foam and buoyancy to get you going, but don’t want to restrict how you ride. We suggest riding this board with bigger side fins and a smaller centre fin.

CONSTRUCTION: Super Lightweight Epoxy (SLX)

SLX construction produces a controlled flex pattern by combining the versatility of epoxy materials with the added advantage of reduced weight. All SLX boards have an EPS core with a high-grade timber stringer, which is laminated by hand using epoxy resin, biaxial fibreglass, and a specialised construction process. Featuring a high strength-to-weight ratio, and designs CNC milled directly from the shapers' files. SLX boards feel light, responsive and are very sensitive under your feet. These boards are extremely versatile, easy to ride, and can be used in a wide variety of conditions.
