We’ve come up with a board that is as close to the “Holy Grail” of the ultimate one board…all around…all water solution as has existed to date…an incredible magic carpet ride that glides across sections of water that have flattened out and allows you to connect sections that were not connectable…pure glide in a compact ride…flatwater to waves…the best all around SUP on the market!
Here’s a 7’11” brushed carbon that is for sale…includes custom bamboo honeycomb sandwich quad fin set and a 6.5″ center fin plus big wave rated 8′ leash with quick disconnect ($200 retail value):
Ultimate nose rider!
We cross pollinated a Wardog Jammer with a mini-Simmons nose…threw in a little (Liddle) Speed Egg influence in the outline…and, added in some Bonzeresque – like channel hydrodynamics…deep concaves…increasing lift…decreasing drag…quad + 1…multiple fin optimization choices…increased the primary and secondary stability…the Hammer has more glide and stability than boards that are longer and narrower…optimized the rocker line for speed…and, developed the “Chisel Tail” for increased maneuverability…etc…and, in the process, created a board that goes faster when you stand on the nose!!!
The Hammer’s unique “Chisel Tail” maintains board speed when redirecting out of turns…not bleeding off speed will allow you to pull off more maneuvers…more easily…
You most definitely can learn to paddlesurf with a Hammer…it has a very large “sweet spot” which allows for turning and trimming from the standing area…in fact, the Hammeris the most forgiving SUP that we have ever been on…stability…glide…and, maneuverability all rolled into one!!!
Relatively flat rocker profile (speed and better paddling) with just enough nose flip so that you won’t pearl…
Lots of volume in the tail, which keeps the board from bogging down in less than stellar wave conditions…
The Hammer tracks extremely well…but, it also turns easily from the mid-section…which is a hard attribute to design into a SUP…and, it also turns off the tail and really has an accelerator in the from third of the board with deep mono-concave generating lift…because of it’s stability…and, secondary stability…glide…volume distribution…etc…you can ride it around 8″ to 1 foot shorter than you normally would…which helps tremendously in maneuverability and off-water mobility…
Hammer surfboards also available…
