What is a What? What if the deepest part of the concave was ahead of center? The What? is a very high performance shortboard. The template of the What? has a somewhat narrow nose that travels into a mildly curvy mid-section. The tail width at one foot is in the low 14s. A slight, elongated, bump just aft the rear of the front fins that flows into a slightly rounded squash tail.

As for the rocker, the front end is somewhat lifted. A 6’0 has app 4.6 at the tip and a somewhat elevated entry. The rear of the 6’0 board is lifted even more. The 12-inch measurement is moderately high. In the last 12 inches, the rocker accelerates and finishes at 2.3 plus.

The foil is balanced and the tail block is a touch on the thin side. When it comes to the bottom, this is where the design starts testing the waters. It starts off in the tip flat. It rapidly deepens into a single concave that bottoms out at app +-.32 in the rear of the entry. A little less than 30% in. By the time it gets to mid-section it is already starting to reduce in depth. +-.22. It continues to drop in depth and develops into a shallow, slightly hooked, double con, then a slight vee off the tail.

The Pro dims are narrow and lean. The Bro dims are a half inch wider and slightly thicker, yielding an extra liter. The initial feedback is solid! Very fast, holds a rail, yet has a tight turning radius. Enjoy!
