The “Sabo-Taj” is the result of ongoing design development between Taj Burrow and Matt Biolos. Meant to perform in the widest range of conditions by minimalistic means and be a one board travel weapon for Taj. The Sabo-Taj is equally at home in powerful Indo reef waves, punchy beach breaks, compact slabs, lined up points and energized waves of any kind.
“After years of building travel boards for quality waves I feel like this is thebest one yet” - Matt Biolos.
The outline features a wider than average nose with enough area under foot to be surfed fast and radical in everyday waves while the narrow tail tip holds in solid surf and barrels. The nose rocker is modest for speed and drive and the tail rocker has plenty of curve for tight radius whip and control. A slight concave between the feet adds lift but zeros out in the nose to keep things catch free and a mild double concave cuts through the tail rocker adding speed and drive. This board screams take me to Mexico or Indo all summer, Hatteras and Europe in the fall, Hawaii all winter and doesn’t mind staying close to home if it's pumping. Let’s go!
We Say
If you are looking for a travel board that can handle any wave you can throw at it then the Sabo-Taj model is just what you have been waiting for. Designed as Step ups from your normal shortboard when the waves get bigger or more hollow the extra length allows for early entry and a rail line that can knife into the face no matter where you choose to set your line.
Built in a construction you can trust to not let you down when you need it most, at least one of these boards is always in my Mentawis, Mexico or French travel bag!
