This board features a concave bottom that transitions to vee in the tail. The wide outline makes for easy wave catching and down the line glide and stability. The concave bottom adds lift and increased rail curve, which allows radical top to bottom surfing. The straight rail line & vee in the tail keep the board moving forward and hold during hard carving maneuvers.
We Say
The Lib Tech Puddle Jumper is without doubt the ideal small wave, semi performance shape for anyone who has to deal with substandard and powerless waves on a daily basis.
Whilst most fish and hybrid shapes will claim to be able to increase your ability to generate speed in small waves, the Puddle Jumper really does live up to that claim. Excellent paddling ability comes from the forward wide point, & the hip in the tail allows for a much narrower tail profile than you would normally see in a fish or hybrid shape of this style. Going against the grain the PJ also features a squash tail rather than the traditional swallow you would normally find in 'fish' shapes, & this allows a fair amount of controlled slide through the very rear of the board.
Having ridden this board in everything from knee-high Vazon to overhead Perelle it really is the most usable Guernsey shape that I have ever come across from any shaper & I guarantee you’ll have more fun on this board in 95% of your sessions over here, then you will on anything else.
Suits:
-
Teenagers looking to improve without sacrificing wave count when moving to a smaller board
