MODERN HIGHLINE PU

DESCRIPTION

With the Modern Highline GSI wanted to design a board that would give novice-to-intermediate surfers as much assistance as possible. The final design helps to transition surfers move from foamy style boards to hard boards.

To become a better surfer and build your confidence, you need to catch as many waves as possible. There aren't any shortcuts but GSI think they can help shorten the learning curve. So GSI designed this board to be very buoyant (easy to paddle), stable (easy to get to your feet), and easy to control (smooth turns & go where you want on a wave).

Essentially, GSI built this board to re-define the first steps in surfing so people develop their skills quicker, build confidence and maximise the enjoyment they get from riding waves.

OUTLINE: The outline is the key to the Highline’s amazing stability. GSI basically took the middle section of a longboard, then tapered the nose to a semi-point and added a nice curved square tail, and by reducing the overall board length you maintain easier side-to-side turning.

ROCKER: Considered flat, the low, fish style rocker means this board paddles very quickly onto waves, and will maintain its speed once you’re up and riding. In this case flat equals flow, and less effort required from the rider to get the board up and going.

CONTOURS: Forward concave helps channel water efficiently across the flatter rocker, particularly when paddling and taking off. The back half of the board has a raised vee with double concave to offset the width and allow for easier transitions from one rail to the other when performing turns.
