Description

A modern shortboard for everyday waves, the Alu accelerates hard, builds speed constantly and delivers the pop you need to throw down fast, aerial and explosive surfing in soft, messy or imperfect conditions.

The Alu is the shortboard that turns ordinary sessions into sessions that matter. The one you throw in the car without overthinking it, because it makes you want to surf fast, push harder and keep the fun going even when the waves are not perfect.

Its playground is everyday conditions: small to medium, soft, imperfect, sometimes messy, often underestimated. Where you need to create your own speed, the Alu keeps plenty of spark under your feet and pushes you to stay active from take-off to the final section.

With the Alu, you do not just take what the wave gives you: you work it. You pump, accelerate, reposition the board, build speed and go again. Every bit of pressure is used to create rhythm, maintain speed and make the wave more workable.

It is also a shortboard that makes you want to surf more aerial. It invites you to pop, throw an air, push a rotation or go for a higher line on the wave. Its feel is lively, responsive and playful, with that sense that there is always something to do under your feet.

The Alu still remains a true performance shortboard. You need to surf it actively, put intent into your foot pressure and keep the rhythm going. But it helps you build speed out of every manoeuvre, regain speed through soft sections and attack as soon as the wave opens up.

It is the shortboard for riders who want to surf often, fast and modern, without waiting for perfect conditions. Speed, pop, acceleration, airs, rotations and instant feedback: the Alu brings energy to everyday waves and turns average sessions into real surf sessions.
