The Specialist
Elastic Fantastic! The Specialist is our take on the progressive step decks of the late sixties, built to be a true trim machine with modern range. The design blends a flat midsection with generous curve in the nose and tail, letting the board paddle and carry speed effortlessly in mushy conditions. The signature S-deck foil runs from nose to tail, giving the Specialist a thicker middle with nicely foiled ends for real sensitivity and control. Hard edges and vee in the tail allow this craft to feel looser and more responsive than a traditional single fin log, inviting a departure from basic pivoting over the fin and introducing an increase in drive in and out of turns. The Specialist shares some rocker and trim similarities with the Stratocruiser, its older retro sibling that hangs harder in the pocket for dedicated tip time. If you’re searching for a log with more freedom, the Specialist will take your fun meter through the roof. The Specialist is in!
