Rifle Ranger
Inspired by the work of Simon Jones at Morning of the Earth Surfboards in Australia and Torren Martyn’s surfing on the designs, the Rifle Ranger can be shaped as either a step-up for more serious surf or for small wave shredding with an added element of glide and projection. High-aspect ratio twin fins provide ample hold, drive, and maneuverability—alternately, keels maximize projection through turns. Channels help lift the tail slightly through turns for a feeling of flowing, “controlled drift.” Following the now classic mid-length Twin Fin design ethos, the Rifle Ranger has a balanced plan shape and the wide point pushed just forward of center. With a single fin feel in terms of water flow, the Rifle Ranger offers tighter turning via the Twin Fin/vee panel set up. Boards can be shaped longer and narrower to emphasize “gunnier” characteristics, or made shorter and slightly fuller for more all-around surfing. The Rifle Ranger is a high-performance design for off-the-tops and cutbacks/slashes, as well as high-line banks and tube riding. Available in sizes 6’4” to 8’2”.
