Velocity Project

The Wildcat


The boards look and feel timeless, yet allow the type of modern performance that we strive to bring to all our boards.The bottom curve is clean, and relatively flat, offering great paddle speed and easy acceleration from the moment you get to your feet. A single/double concave runs throughout the bottom, blending into a moderate V and 4 channels running off the tail. All of this is designed to help the board roll from rail to rail, add a little extra bite off the bottom and quickly respond to weight shifts while easily flowing over softer sections of a wave. This helps increase your speed as you push it through turns.The outline is a blend of traditional and modern as well, with the wide point just up from center, moderately wide nose and a classic single wing rounded pintail.

The wing and the pin work in conjunction with the channels to provide both drive and maneuverability, allowing for snappy, pivoted turns and sweeping carves. The nose is a refined beak (you know I love these), which lets us run a touch more thickness up under the chest area, keeping you more on top of the water while you paddle.

The rails have a modern shortboard feel, but with extra foam taken off to aid in sensitivity and bite. For sizing, go an inch or 2 under your Daily Driver type board, and a half inch to an inch wider and a touch more volume.

The speed, flow and easy surfing of this board is something we all love and it’s a benefit for any surfer in almost any type of wave.

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).
