Gremlin XL

Based off the Ghost DNA, the Gremlin XL is the step-down cousin to the Phantom, with lots of extra volume packed into a shorter, wider, flatter rockered package designed for quick acceleration, easily sustained speed and great paddle power. The Gremlin was made to get you excited about surfing on the days that are less-than-epic, and also to give you a taste of Funformance that will get you fired up in any kind of surf.

The wider outline is complimented by a low entry rocker for easy speed and glide through the weakest, slowest sections, but we left curve through the tail rocker to keep it performance oriented and add to maneuverability.

The bottom runs from single to double concave, with a nice bit of Vee running of the tail. This makes it a board that paddles easy, gets up and goes fast, and still has a snappy, drivey, high-performance feel to get you the most out of every wave you catch.

Higher level surfers will want to ride this board as much as 4-6 inches below their height (and find that it actually has a full on high-performance side to it). A more intermediate level surfer will want to stick to something around their height. It's also a great transitional board for the more beginner surfer who is ready to take the step away from their longboard (or whatever they have been riding) to a more Funformance design!

Volume guide:

Our volume guide can help you figure out a good estimated volume for you to base your next board off of.

Ability/weight/volume numbers are not exact, but can give you an idea of where to start. This chart is assuming volume for a basic performance board to be ridden in weak to good waves.

* Generally speaking, you would want to ADD volume for a board designed for smaller, weaker conditions. * You would also ADD volume for a step-up/gun board for use in even bigger, more powerful waves. * Added weight (thick wetsuit, booties, etc.) should be calculated into your weight. * You generally want to balance the added ease of paddling (more volume) with sensitivity and performance (less volume).
