The Sabotaj is the result of ongoing design development between Taj Burrow and Matt Biolos. The Sabotaj is equally at home in 2' shore break as 8' Indo, and everything in between. Taj rides it 1" shorter, but a touch wider than his typical performance shortboard. Taj uses it as a one-board weapon for his last-minute travels where there isn't time, space or the desire to pack a proper quiver. The Lost Sabotaj surfboard features: The Sabotaj features a modest, overall rocker that is "shifted back", so that the entry is low, fast and drivey. The tail rocker has the curve and release of a high-performance step up for tight radius whip and control. The rail line creates a shallow concave under and between feet to add lift and freedom, but zeros out in the nose and tail, to keep things catch-free, forgiving, settled and precise. There's a slight double concave cutting through the tail rocker which adds lift and speed in smaller waves, as well as drive in larger ones. The outline, with its noticeably wider than-average nose (and a pulled in round tail) is semi-elliptical and continuously curving, lending a feeling of catch-free ease. Combined with the low entry rocker,this outline enables the board to be ridden quite short. The tail is pulled in "late", but still features enough surface area in the fin area, under the rear foot, to be surfed fast and radical in every day waves, while the narrow tail tip holds in solid surf and tube riding.The Sabotaj performs in powerful Indo reef waves, punchy beach breaks, compact slabs, lined-up points or even soft lumpy rollers with consistency. This truly is a one board quiver. Show more
