More Information
-
Lower entry rocker: This helps the Fred Rubble paddle easier and generate speed early, making it user-friendly in weaker or smaller waves.
-
Wider outline: Offers more stability and planing surface, enhancing performance in slower or mushier surf.
-
More volume than a Proton: The Proton is a high-performance shortboard with less volume and more rocker, suited for punchier, more powerful waves. The Fred Rubble is more forgiving.
-
Not short and chunky like a Dumpster Diver: The Dumpster Diver is more stubby, with a flatter rocker and wide nose, aimed at skatey, grovel-style surfing. The Fred Rubble still has a performance edge with a sleeker shape.
Summary:
The Fred Rubble fits into that sweet spot between a groveler and a full-on performance shortboard — perfect for average conditions (waist to overhead), giving you speed, maneuverability, and flow without being too demanding or too loose.
