The Rookie

MODEL DESCRIPTION

Like the Proton for Dane, the Rookie is designed around state-of the- art surfing by a powerful surfer and has a full rail with a curvy outline. All three Gudauskas brothers, not small in stature, have found this board suits the varying conditions and waves on the WQS. Over the course of 2010 and 2011 the Rookie has become a common board on the CT tour.

Key note: remember this board hides a lot of volume so order 1/8″ thinner and 1″ possibly shorter.

Feedback

A great all around shortboard from the flat walls of Bells to the round beach breaks of France.

Designed For

Intermediate to expert surfers for waist to double over head surf.

    After Jordy’s win in Brasil on a Rookie. Is there any chance of bringing up the 3D shape of the board onto this page?

        Awesome! Can’t wait. I really appreciate this feature. It will be the best way to get a feel for the board without actually feeling one up. Thanks heaps.
