Home / Surfboards / The Whip

The WhipBy Kelly Slater

MODEL DESCRIPTION

In landlocked neighborhoods a man’s “whip” is his customized ride, his prized mode of transportation. During the Europe leg in 2009, Kelly’s “Whip” for less than perfect surf was his 5’9” x 18 5/8” x 2’5/16” – one inch shorter than what he won Snapper and Bells on in 2008. This is Kelly and Al’s re-worked version of the Flyer, with a few secret changes. This board is faster and more forgiving. If you’re looking for a board that excels when your shortboard seems to bog, this is the board for you.

Also available as a Quad

FEEDBACK

should be ridden 3-4 inches smaller than your shortboard, 1/4″ wider and the same thickness.

DESIGNED FOR

everyday use by intermediate to expert surfers in knee to head high surf.
