Model Overview

The ASYM is a high-speed asymmetric shortboard designed to make everyday surfing feel smoother, faster and more intuitive.

With one rail shorter and the other longer, each side of the board is shaped to respond differently beneath your feet. The result is a board that works naturally through both heel-side and toe-side turns, helping you carry speed, hold your line and complete manoeuvres with greater confidence.

It is the one-board quiver for surfers who want performance without the demands of a traditional competition shortboard.

Stevie’s Notes

The ASYM is your one-stop shop for a quiver. If you’re not surfing on the professional tour, this is the kind of board you should be riding.

These boards have instant top speed. They are cooking on gas from the moment you get to your feet.

One rail is shorter and the other is longer, allowing the board to work differently through your heel-side and toe-side turns. It smooths out your surfing and helps carry you through turns you may not have thought you were going to complete.

You might enter a turn thinking you are going to lose it, but when you commit, the board holds its line and almost does the work for you.

It helps you surf faster, draw cleaner lines and connect your turns more naturally. For anyone wanting to improve their everyday surfing, the ASM is an incredible board to have under your feet.

Each ASYM is designed around the surfer’s stance and the waves they want to ride. Some of my favourite asymmetrics have been made for natural-footed surfers, but the final shape depends on whether the board is intended for weaker beach breaks, powerful beach breaks, point breaks or reefs.
