The Pinger takes a minimalistic approach akin to classic surfboards. Simple yet aesthetically stunning, the deck is a torsion flex with a wing pintail carved out of natural bamboo or Baltic birch for the right balance of springy stretch and stability. The teardrop deck measuring 5ft 7in, captures the shape and feel of the timeless surfboards that first tamed the Banzai Pipeline of North Shore Oahu. This is a dream board for anyone who wants to work on footwork, cross-stepping, noseriding or loves more speed release out of turns.

CARVE — 40/40 "Dig and Carve" Equal front and rear turning for maximum versatility. Throw the tail like you're hitting the lip and carve back down the face. The performance all-rounder for advanced riders who want everything from mellow cruising to aggressive rail-to-rail shredding.
SURF — 55/20 "Pump and Glide" Front-drive balance that prioritizes flow. This is the setup for footwork, cross-stepping, and that smooth glide-down-the-line feeling. Build speed, make your turn, and walk to the nose — this configuration makes the transition seamless.
PUMP — 55/0 "Cross-step Nose rider" Maximum rear stability with a snappy front. Locks the backend in place so you can confidently cross-step, nose ride, and walk the board. Also the go-to configuration for long-distance pumping with a SUPSKATE paddle — same physics, two communities.
