Velocity Project

The Precious


After extensive team "testing" by Jai Glindeman, also known as having a great time surfing the crap outta them, we are happy to announce the release of our 3rd addition to the Velocity Project series, the Precious!

The step-railed, concave-decked Precious came about when a friend asked me for a one board quiver that he could take around the world and have a good surf on. "One board to rule them all" was the call and thus the name Precious came about (Lord of the Rings nerds will get this, everyone else just don't worry about it).

I based it off of the Gremlin, since that board is so fast, versatile and fun, but we wanted it to be sleeker, more towards a performance feel with less width and less chunky rails.

In order to do that, and still keep a fair bit of volume in the board, we decided to make it a step-deck. This allowed us to keep some foam in the overall board, but let it have a sensitive, high performance rail at the same time. When creating the step-deck it also makes the deck concave, which adds stability and more sensitivity to the design, and it seems to give you a little extra boost of paddle power as a side benefit.

Using the Gremlin DNA, it's a step down with flatter entry rocker, and subtle curve through the tail making for easy acceleration, speed and quick, responsive turning. The outline is narrower and more pulled in than the Gremlin, but it still carries speed through slower, weaker sections, allowing improved flow and effortless glide. The single/double concave bottom gives lift and drive without ever feeling sticky in rail-to-rail transitions, and the ample V running of the wide tailblock let it tip onto it's rail with ease, even at higher speeds Precious is an easy paddler that gets up and goes fast, and still has a snappy, drivey, high-performance feel to get you the most out of every kind of wave.

Ride your Precious anywhere a few inches above OR below your height based on your surfing ability, add a ½" to 1" of width and order based off the volume, not the thickness because the concave deck makes the boards sound thin but they have more volume. Ride it as a tri-fin, quad, or even 2+1 and have a blast!

Precious DIMENSIONS

Below are standard dimensions for the Precious.

Models that have XL or PRO dimensions will be listed underneath the standard dims and are better options for surfers looking to slightly add foam without lengthening the board (XL Dims) or reduce foam without shortening the board (Pro Dims).

XL & Pro Dimensions are finely tuned to certain models to ensure they perform as the model is intended to (rails, concave, foil stays the same).

VOLUME CALCULATOR

Our volume guide can help you figure out a good estimated volume for you to base your next board off of.

Ability/weight/volume numbers are not exact, but can give you an idea of where to start. This chart is assuming volume for a basic performance board to be ridden in weak to good waves.

  • Generally speaking, you would want to ADD volume for a board designed for smaller, weaker conditions.

  • You would also ADD volume for a step-up/gun board for use in even bigger, more powerful waves.

  • Added weight (thick wetsuit, booties, etc.) should be calculated into your weight.

  • You generally want to balance the added ease of paddling (more volume) with sensitivity and performance (less volume).
