Wednesday, December 14, 2016 Dane G = Power Dane Gudauskas has been on the North Shore for over a month now, and hes been absolutely ripping! Weve been getting heaps of photos with Dane doing what is becoming his patented backside/frontside put everything you got into it, rail gouge/grab rail cutbac ... The Rocket9 outline has the wide point forward a bit and the tail is pulled in making it super snappy and maneuverable. The swallow gives a great fast release as well. One of the major desires for this board was I wanted was to go fast and then turn hard when I wanted in waves ranging from super average California beach breaks all the way to grinding little tubes. Its one of the most versatile boards I have ever ridden. I like to ride my Rocket9 two inches shorter than my normal shortboard length. With the wider outline up front its able to hide a bit of volume under the chest to make the paddling still super easy even though you are on a shorter board.
