DREAM MAKER

DESCRIPTION

The Dream Maker is a magic design with the unbelievable powers of speed and maneuverability in small surf. From the Dreamcatcher, we kept its rockers, forward surface area, and thickness flow so that the Dream Maker catches waves just as easily and has plenty of glide. Additional width to the outline gives it flow and acceleration in small or flat faced waves. The Dream Maker has a single to double concave bottom for control and lift with some added vee in the last few inches of the tail. The vee gives the board more release off the tail while thinning the squash tail corners for extra holding power. By going with a squash tail, it gives the board more planning surface in the back for more sustained speed and glide in smaller softer surf.

FEATURES

ROCKER

Moderate rocker with a small amount of flip in the nose allows it to go really fast and avoid pearling on the drops. The rocker flows through the board from nose to tail so it can cruise while having tons of speed without working too hard for it.

RAILS

Medium to slightly full for stability and float, with tucked hard edges for speed and holding power.

BOTTOM

Single to double concave with added vee in the last few inches of the tail

FINS

Five fin is standard to ride as a thruster or quad

WAVE TYPE

Knee high to a couple feet over head

HOW TO SIZE THIS BOARD

Compared to a Dreamcatcher go 1” shorter and 3/8” wider in the same thickness. Sized from a WD, WD2 or similar ride in the same length. Use the same thickness and volume or slightly more for even easier wave catching ability. For width go up to 1/8" narrower to add sensitivity. Comparing to a pro model shortboard go 2-5" shorter, up to 7/8" wider and same to 1/16 thicker for a slightly higher volume. For a high performance approach based on your height, aim for about the same length to as much as 4” shorter as you are tall, matching volume to skill level, needs, or preferences. Up in volume and at your height or beyond for additional stability and wave catching ease. Custom dims are always available to match your needs or preferences.
