SUB DRIVER 2.0 BLACKSHEEP

The SUB DRIVER 2.0 was derived to benefit the Pros, yet it really is perfect for most “Bros”.

Reflecting the small wave demands from Kolohe Andino, Griffin Colapinto and our up-and-coming team of Jr Pros and WQS Warriors, constant evolution and noticeable updates have brought us to the point where we are now proud to launch the SUB DRIVER 2.0.

Featured updates and adjustments include…

• An even wider, more forgiving, nose: Designed to increase forward drive for us mortals and lend more stability for hot shots landing radical airs. The wider nose creates a straighter forward outline which paddles into waves easier and subsequently builds forward momentum faster in sub-par surf.
• Smoothed out and re-imagined the wide hip in the tail: Primarily to balance the wider forward outline, it allows more control at speed and a more effortless initiation of bottom turns and cutbacks. The hip is still noticeable and then angles into the wide squash tail. The wide tail creates a stable platform, especially in small waves. The hip breaks the rail line and creates a pivot point to crank tight, powerful turns in lesser surf. Making it easier for us to ride a performance shape even in poor surf.
• Added thickness along the centre (stringer line) with increased “vee” deck and more refined rails: Lowered rail volume (without lowering overall volume) to encourage radical rail turns and make a more nimble, reactive board that still floats through flats, and surfs forgiving. The thicker centerline under the chest aids paddling and makes for more drive off the front foot gas pedal.
• A deeper concave in the rear third of the board: The rail rocker transitions from a modest forward concave to a deeper, more curvy, rail line through the front fins. It then accelerates upward to a slight vee behind the rear fin and out the tail. There is a good amount of double concave through the tail, adding lift and helping the water squirt through and release.
• The SUB DRIVER 2.0’s curvy, hyper-extended, rail rocker creates a hinge under the rear foot and counterbalances the low, flat centerline tail rocker, enabling it to be surfed tight and vertical in the pocket, as well as the already speedy down-the-line drive.

The wide nose and tail block combined with the low tail rocker and generous dims, allow the SUB DRIVER 2.0 to be ridden 1-2” shorter than a DRIVER 2.0 or similar performance shortboard. Now available in standard sizing and the larger scale, SUB DRIVER 2. BRO dims.

If you’re looking for a tried, tested and proven small-wave performance machine, look no further than the SUB DRIVER 2.0.

WARNING: Carbon Fiber surfboards can easily get hot! They’re dark…and like all things dark, they soak up the sun and heat. Take care of your board and do not leave it in the sun.
