The Stub Heater

Based of our Heater model, comes the Stub Heater! This board has been built for surfers that prefer a drivey on rail carving approach to their surfing but need a board that allows for this style of surfing in average to less than good conditions. Our Heater model works really well when the surf starts to turn on and has a little more juice, but as with any board like that everybody always said, "I wish I had a small wave version of this board." So we tested some rockers and concave combos and came up with this fuller outline, lower overall rocker version of the Heater which stays loose and lively in smaller surf and allows for the heavy back footed carving approach in the everyday waves of So Cal and beyond.

Overall the Stub Heater stays curvy in the mid rail line, just like the Heater, but the curve of the stub heater rail carries more forward into a fuller nose allowing for more forward volume for easier wave entry and easier speed generation in smaller, less powerful surf (what we get here in so cal) . The tail on the Stub Heater stays pulled in to allow the tight arching turns and lots of hold and drive. We use an overall single concave on this board.
