DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Speed and Smooth Transitions
The flat rocker ensures immediate acceleration and a continuous glide. On the Precious, you'll feel the board flying from the moment you catch a wave, which facilitates rail-to-rail transitions and lets you link sections with minimal effort.
Stability and Easy Paddling
The step-deck, combined with a pronounced concave, provides well-distributed volume without sacrificing thin rails. The result is more efficient paddling and easier wave entry, even when conditions are less powerful.
Handling and Control
The refined rails and sleek outline offer incredible sensitivity in turns. The Precious inspires confidence at high speed. This allows for precise trajectories on hollow sections as well as less formed waves.
Adaptable Fins Configurations
You can set up a tri-fin, quad, or 2+1 configuration to match your style: tri-fin for control and drive, quad for pure flow and speed, or 2+1 for a stable and allround compromise. This makes the board adaptable to different spots and preferences.
An Inspired Design
The Precious draws inspiration from the Gremlin, retaining its speed and versatility, while offering thinner rails and a more reactive feel. Here, you'll find an approach focused on performance without sacrificing ease of use.
Choosing Advice
We recommend basing your choice on volume rather than thickness due to the concave deck. You can choose the board a few centimeters above or below your height and add ½ to 1-inch of width, depending on your feel, to ensure optimal buoyancy and maneuverability.
