More Information
Before mass media marketers played Hypto-Crypto with your mind, making you believe in Sci-Fi and that Ghosts and Monstas were more than just Average Joes, Diving through Dumpsters along the Seaside...there was The Rocket!...and we ain't talking 9 or Wide. Before Instagram and the endless parade of social media surfboard model marketing melted our minds, real word of mouth made one little board iconic throughout the surfing world...The Rocket!
Birthed from a broken blank and the brains of Shane Beschen and Budroe, the original Rocket was to simply be a board for Noah Beschen to learn on. Once ridden by Shane, everything changed, and he felt compelled to bring us his fabulous find to be refined. Happy accidents have been a staple of surfboard progression, since the beginning. As we started fine-tuning and building them for the boys, we knew were had something special. Fast forward a year, and the video release of 5'5" Redux. The Rocket was a star of the show, ridden by a parade of guest rippers cutting loose on the little weapon. From Bros to Pros, The Rocket was soon a global hit, being enjoyed by surfers of all shapes, sizes and skillsets.
Now, more than a decade after its initial release, the Rocket returns. A re-incarnated Redux for the new generation to enjoy another run of fun: The Rocket Redux. We've strived to retain all the original Rocket design details and magic: The extremely low and fast entry rocker, counterbalanced by a hyper-extended tail curve, for instantaneous down the line drive and playfully precise turning. The deepest of concaves, created by a straight centerline stringer and a curvaceous rail rocker lends lift and liveliness. The wide tail and parallel, bullet-like, outline provides plenty of speed and hold. The hooked diamond 'Rocket' tail adds bite and hold infirm, rear footed carves. While the Rocket Redux stays true to the original Rocket, to bring a serious performance boost we've refined and cleaned curves, made the rails a bit more refined, and updated some details just enough to keep up with the things we've learned since.
Fast, precise, playful and just plain fun, the Rocket Redux is fast paddling, easy to ride, iconic, every day, speed burning, pocket turning, no need for good waves yearning, bullet of a board for everyone.
