The KISS
Keep it Simple!
Sometimes when I’m shaping and building complex design-driven shapes, I then shape a relatively simple board with very clean lines with great satisfaction immediately after it.
It’s a wonderful creative reset that reconnects me with my sound design fundamentals. Good curves will always be good curves…
The intention of the KISS is to connect with that feeling and keep it simple. To pare those great design fundamentals back to their essence of beautiful outline, rocker, foil and rail.
The magic of this design is in the pure resolution of planing area, curve, rocker and thickness distribution. The outcome is design harmony producing everything you need to surf your best and nothing you don’t…
The KISS has a subtle concave for 2/3 of the board, splitting into a refined yet subtle double concave / Vee behind the back foot. A rail chine / V combination entry under the nose keeps the KISS loose and catch free. I employed medium low rails with a tucked under edge all the way around the board to ensure positive and continuous flow through turns. It’s a design which will work in every kind of wave. You can go to the beach with one board in your car, knowing you have the right board every time.
