Description

The North 2008 Rocketfish range now features three new surf specific models.

 

These boards are all about high performance, top to bottom surfing and in the pocket snaps and gauges. A pulled in tail outline and extra tail rocker drives you through the bottom turn and is incredibly snappy off the top of the waves. These designs turn very tight and allow the rider to go places on the wave where they never could go before!

 

Properly sized to the rider, these designs will allow the rider to surf wave with little influence from the kite. If you prefer powered up turns with more kite power, these designs work great as well.

 

The North 2008 Rocketfish surfboards work well strapped or strapless, hooked or unhooked.

 

All three sizes have the same performance characterisitcs with an emphasis on matching the size of board to the size of the rider. For example a 183cm man might want to ride the 6'0" while a 152cm girl might be more comfortable on the 5'6".

North Rocketfish 2008 - 5'6":
Developed for lighter riders, this board gives you controlled, bounce-free bottom turns and snappy cutbacks.

 

North Rocketfish 2008 - 5'9":
Designed for medium weight riders, this board works in everything from small to big surf. Great drive and control through the bottom turn allows you to go more vertical than you've ever gone before.

 

North Rocketfish 2008 - 6'0":
Designed for heavier riders, this board has the same snappy turns and high peformance as the smaller boards for early planing and great upwind performance. This board also works great a a light wind tool for lighter or medium weight riders.
