Gherkin

This variant is currently sold out
Just like the well-known American delicacy, the Gherkin is short, wide and flat, and as quick as the fast food haunts you’d get one from. The accentuated crown tail provides for some extra bite and control through turns and flies over flat sections of the wave. Merging the nose entry from our Crumpet model with the tail shape and v off the tail of the Crown model, the Gherkin blends performance and flow creating a user friendly surfboard.
The Gherkin can be ridden in a much shorter length that your standard shortboard and is the ideal board for those conditions you’d normally opt to ride a longboard.
"Generally when you have a really wide tail it can limit your turning capacity but it seemed to hold an edge really well. I think pointbreak waves is where this board really excels because it has that flow and liveliness and you don’t really have to work to much in between your turns. I don’t want to give it back [laughs].” – Asher on Tracks Magazine
