Mollusc Robo

Description

Stretched-out Mollusc with streamlined area nose and roundtail. Lower nose entry to medium tail rocker. Slight single concave to vee through the back half with double concave cutting through the vee panel and fading out 9” before the end of the board. Similar rail to Mollusc with the flatter deck and chunkier low soft combination. Slight beak nose to slightly thicker tail.

History

Developed from the Mollusc as a performance bigger board and alternative to surfing a Mini Mal.

Performance

Ultimate wave catching assistance without sacrificing too much performance. Good stand there speed and glide across the wave. Round tail and vee combined with the tail rocker to help the big board turn in a short arc off the back foot in cutbacks, and rebound well off the top in smaller waves. The Robo has reasonable hold and good drive in bigger surf and is a fun transition board to get back into shape when returning from injury, or if your fitness is down, or you are getting on a bit and no longer have the time or circumstance to surf regularly. Your MR board size will depend on the level of help you need to catch waves.
