THE RAP

We've been developing The Rap with Nolan Rapoza over the past 5 years. As his go to board for the 2016 contest season, he rode it to become the WSL's 2016 North America Men's Jr Regional Champion. Designed with a single concave bottom for speed and a continuous rocker running nose to tail harnesses Nolan's explosive top to bottom approach to surfing. Not only is The Rap very responsive in the pocket, its flat deck and medium full rails help it carry speed through flat spots and arcing cutbacks out on the face. With Nolan receiving such excellent results at contests in locations such as Barbados, Mexico and both coasts of the US demonstrates how The Rap is just as versatile as it is high performance.
