![]() Have your cake and eat it too! Plastic has some wonderful characteristics. You can stiffen up that thin flex fin and gain speed. Heavy, tough, Volan glass fins are popular these days. Fiberglass is still the material of choice, though, especially for the discerning retro enthusiast.S uggested for novice rider weight up to 95lbs Experience riders up to about 165lbs. LS Blackball Beater Softboard Hybrid Shape. ![]() This model is complemented by a defined kick in the tail, and a generous amount of belly throughout the majority of the bottom of the board.Surfboards Specifications EZ Slider Blackball Beater Soft Foam Surfboards 4ft 11in x 21in x 2.5in Vol. The board in the video is a Rusty SD, stock dims 6’4 x 21 x 2.625 37.6 liters.SURFBOARDS BLACK ROSE "deviated septum" 9'5" / $1,390 The Deviated Septum is inspired by a 1967 Hansen Competitor, and is a more streamlined version of this iconic '60s noserider. The tailpad on our test board is a Rusty three piece tailpad with arch bar. Our test board had an FCS2 5-fin set up, but since most SD’s are dedicated thrusters, we stuck with three fins and alternated between FCS Performers on the beach breaks and FCS Carvers on the points. The Rusty SD is also available in standard Rusty PU/Poly and also Rusty E-Poly Constructions. For more info on Rusty’s new Torsion Spring construction click HERE. The end result is a lighter board, that is waterproof when dinged, has incredible deck durability, and crazy spring out of the turns. The weight saved on resin, is put back into the board with a more sturdy glass schedule. These boards are laminated with epoxy resin and a vacuum bag, which creates a perfect lamination and allows the excess resin to be taken out of the board. They don’t have that light, chattery feeling, since Rusty developed a higher density, waterproof foam blank for them. You literally spring and accelerate out of every turn. If you’ve never tried the new Torsion Spring boards, you have to, and soon! When you bottom turn them, it feels like you’re getting sprung off a pogo stick. Our Rusty SD in Mexico and the review video is actually Clint Preisendorfer’s personal board at 6’5 x 20.45 x 2.8 41 liters, built in Rusty’s new high tech “Torsion Spring” construction. Off the top, the SD throws buckets with a quick, clean release. In bigger, longer lined surf, the SD keeps a nice tempo, alternating between smooth swoops and vertical hits. The rail is positive and sets deep in the water for full rail carves to bleed off all that speed. The SD is lightning fast, with noticeable acceleration out of the turns. We got to watch REAL teamrider Matt Keenan absolutely destroy 1-2ft clean Cape Hatteras beach break on it, then took another SD with us to Mexico to line it up on some head high, uber long, walled up points. It was fun to surf this board in such a wide variety of conditions. The wider tail block gives plenty to push off of, because in any size surf, it’s better to have extra speed potential than not. The reduced volume rails set into the wave quickly and allow the surfer to engage the wave right from the beginning of the ride, high up on the wall where all the speed potential is. The SD paddles and catches waves easily, even after coming off a groveler or twin keel fish. It basically feels like a high performance extension of your body. Like we say in the video, this is an easy shortboard to catch waves on and surf at a high level. ![]() This board reaps most of its low-end power from the wider nose and tail block, added volume along the stringer, and flatter entry rocker. It’s wider than a full on high performance shortboard, but not by much, which keeps the rail-to-rail flow quick and easy. Several things worth noting on the SD are how easy it catches waves and how quickly it accelerates when pumped rail to rail. Mortals will appreciate this board starting at clean thigh to waist high. The Rusty SD excels in waves knee high (for pro lightweights) up to well overhead. We surfed our Rusty SDs in Cape Hatteras and mainland Mexico, in a variety of conditions from small, peaky beach break, to larger, drawn out points.
