From a collaborative design approach with Dion Agius; the RAVEN has arrived. RAVEN is more than just a high performance. It’s a modern shortboard that brings back the 90’s carve. Best suited to 3ft+ conditions and designed to be put on rail; Dion wanted his signature model to ride effortlessly in everyday conditions, then seriously flare when the waves present themselves.
SKILL LEVEL - 5-10
A curved rocker allows for everyone from the intermediate to experienced surfer to drive through their turns.
CONDITIONS - CLEAN TO PUMPING
A low-medium entry rockerline allows for ease of paddling with the ability to pick up speed instantly, whilst a medium tail rocker transitioning into a swallow tail produces tighter carves.
SUITABLE WAVE FACES - WAIST HIGH TO DOUBLE OVERHEAD
All locations when the conditions clean up and sections present themselves. This is not a weak wave groveller model.
