NEXT ONE UP
Price: Clear $715
Spray
$740
BIO: Designed to pick up where the Traveler
starts to feel sketchy. The NOU wants to get you into the bigger stuff
easier, pick off the tube clean and still surf like it’s chest high and
rippable.
SPECS: Pulled in and thinned out nose and tail
with a beefier center width and thickness close to your shortboard.
Increased rocker with a light single-to-double concave to mild vee in the
tail. Can also be single concave or a light mid-vee with a double concave.
Ride 3-6” longer than your standard shortboard.
WAVE POTENTIAL: A chunky, second-guesser type
day—double-to-triple overhead.
REALITY CHECK: Solid Black’s and even Pipe.
Beach or reef, doesn’t matter—as long as it’s getting heavy.
GREEN OR GURU? Guru. Unless you are an
experienced small wave surfer and beginning larger wave surfer, it is
advised you sit this session out. We know all those guys out there on
their NOU’s make it look easy, but they’ve swallowed a lot of
saltwater to get to that point.
CONFIDENCE BOOST: It’s like your Traveler
grew over night to meet your double overhead needs. You always knew you
could find a comfort level out there when many can not.
