The F-16 is the proven point-to-point racing design

The Hull:
It has a lay down paddle board type nose entry for low friction displacement qualities. The mid section is flat for stability. The tail has some V for surfing qualities and we added some double concave for speed once you are on a swell and need to connect to the next trough.

The Rocker:
Growing up on Maui’s North Shore, with Maliko runs as its main testing ground, we found that the board needed some nose rocker. Submerging your bow into the next swell slows you down to say the least. The mid section is fairly flat for ease of glide and the tail exit has a natural curve.

The Deck:
The bow section has a “V” to expel water in case you do poke into an upcoming swell. The deck area where you mainly stand has a slight bit of a single concave (3/8”) for feet comfort. The concave is not noticeable to the naked eye unless you put a straight edge on the deck.

The Rails:
Like the lay-down paddle board concept ,we believe in soft rails in the front for displacing water. While planing, a hard edge in the tail give good water release.
A good amount of under-tuck makes for ease of surfing once on a swell.
Full rail volume allows for plenty of buoyancy for riders up to 250 pounds.

The Pad:
F-16 comes with an integrated 1/8” (3 mm) x 11’ long pad. (pad color choices are visible in our Selector Page)

The Steering:
The Active Steering System (ASS) will be positioned for regular or goofy footer or upon request plumbed for duo (resale). It has a 5” adjustable insert placement for the foot paddle pivot point. (back and forward)
It comes with a spring loaded fiberglass batten so when you step back and surf, the rudder will come back to the straight position.
The rudder is a molded 9 1/4” spitfire type (straight up and down) design. It has a foil for medium speed (5 to 15 MPH) efficiency.
Cables are tension adjustable with a turn buckle.
All hardware is stainless steel and molded carbon.

Color:
We recommend a white bottom. The deck can be sprayed in most gel coat colors.
