This lift-focused egg came from a request in 2017 for something fun and approachable for the beach breaks of Japan – softer faces with playful sections and average size in general, something compact that scoots. The Cheet has a really sweet and subtle outline with its wide-point slightly ahead of center. The bottom is focused on maximizing lift – with no neutral or unused space and minimal convex; These stay on top of the water with little pumping and draw out really smooth round lines in a variety of waves. Being a more compact ‘midrange’ board, the goal was to pack a punch in every square inch of this egg’s underside and match that with a broad flat deck that makes up a really stable and predictable platform. The rails are low and with a slight egginess to them, not too sharp or penetrating. The bottom shape is a single entry which transitions into a triple then quadruple concave – the outermost ‘rail’ concaves taper off just ahead of the side fins under the back foot where theres a little lump of spiral vee, which fades to flat behind the center fin.
