Roberts Surfboards
OB PIN
Overview
Originated for guys needing a design to surf Ocean Beach in San Francisco, the OB Pin works great at big wave breaks with long paddle outs and open faces. Starting with our Pin Master model, we kept its rocker in the OB Pin for maneuverability at higher speeds. Then we added some width throughout and gave it added volume under your chest to help you move around the line up and get in early. The OB Pin offers the ability to carve turns out on the open face through its rocker and pin tail. And if the wave backs off it is able to maintain speed through slopey parts of the wave due to its fuller outline! The OB Pin starts out a 7' but can be ordered up to 9' and made to your needs.
Category: STEP UPS AND BIG WAVE GUNS.
Rocker: Exaggerated rocker that is slightly relaxed in the nose to a continuous rocker that accelerates all the way of the tail.
Rails: Slightly thicker than the Pin Master's medium full and then tapered down for bite and hold.
Bottom: Very light single to shallow double to vee off the tail.
Fins: 5 fin setup to be ridden as quad or thruster. Can also be ordered as single fin or single with quad boxes.
Sizing:
1 1/2 feet to 2 1/2 feet longer longer than your high performance board while adding 1/2" to 1 1/2" width. Volume should be increased by 10-15%. Volume may be added so that the stretched board will not be too thin preventing you paddling into the waves it was intended. Custom dims are always available to match your needs or preferences.
