2008 OXBOW SHORTBOARDS

Continuing to represent the cutting edge of shortboard design, this year’s completely revamped range focuses on broadening the use of the boards to get maximum surfing time without losing performance. A cross between a Fish and a Modern Shortboard, these “Hydrid” Shortboards represent the ultimate in versatility, utilizing a modern shortboard rocker line with single concave, coupled with a Fish styled wider nose and wider swallow tail. The boards come standard as a Thruster with G5 FCS fins, but we’ve added an extra two sets of fin inserts that allow you to experiment with the latest and greatest of fin advancements, the quad fin set-up. Simply take out the center fin and replace with an appropriate set of twin fins and you have a quad fin ride in a matter of seconds. That means unparalleled versatility all packed into a single board. Note: It’s worth checking out www.surffcs.com for info on the most suitable quad set-up for your style of surfing.
