About the Egg

There is nothing new about the concept of fuller template boards. If you go back to ten years or more you'll find plenty of shorter boards that were around 22" wide.

Eggs being wide boards are relatively easy to paddle and better still they are quick to plane . This means the board will perform to it's full potential, even at low speeds (a major advantage in small and weak surf).

Eggs also have lots of volumn, which means you can create a lot speed in relatively flat faced, weak surf. Eggs however tend to lack control, particularly when the surf gets bigger and more critical. To compensate for this the tail block has two wingers that allow for a narrow rounded tail and thus giving more control.

Most Suitable For...... Eggs would be a good purchase for larger riders (particularly longboarders) wanting to have shorter board in their quiver (opposed to their longboard). It's also ideal for someone wishing to add something different to their quiver and make the most of poor summer conditions.
