A more rounded version of the squashtail, the design of the thumbtail results in more stability for the board. This shape has no hard edge that you find in the squash and squaretail. A thumbnail is great for rail-to-rail riding and big air tricks.
Liquid Rail strategically placed longitudinally in the tips to give the board an independent flex from center to rail. This makes it easier to initiate a turn and have a snappy response coming out of it, while the edge is able to grab and hold its track more.
Concaved beveled rails provide a softer, more forgiving rail towards the mid-section of the board. This helps prevent hang-ups on features and allows for more mellow transitions on the water.
The Single Concave and rail channels in the center of the board mellow out and disappear as the surface exits the tip and tail. This creates a super loose and playful ride that demands attention but provides unlimited freedom!
The Raph is a Park board that I have been riding for 10 years now. When I see this board under my feet, it brings up so many memories from the past decade. The injuries, the wins, the loss and the progress. I wouldn’t want to change too many things to this board. It has survived the last 10 years and is still holding up strong.
