Earlier this year Lee Stacey was at Huntington Beach, CA, for the US Open. He shaped a bunch of boards and one of those was for Mick Fanning. The board he was given was a new high performance fish for the smaller days. Have a read of the model description…
CD2
• Small Wave MACHINE
• Wide nose with a pulled in tail outline
• Forgiving Rails
• Fast, responsive rocker
The CD2 is a small wave performance fish, it has a wider than average nose to help carry over flat gutless waves, but the tail half of the board has been given a hip which has allowed for the tail to be pulled into a tight swallow. This also means it can be ridden tight in the pocket. The tail rocker is flat for instant speed, but we’ve added a large amount of vee out the back to maintain rail line and help with those tight pocket turns in the smaller waves it’s designed for.
It Should be ridden 4 inches shorter, an inch wider and up to an 1/8 thicker than your regular shortboard. It comes with Stacey Twin Fin Future Fins designed for this model.
