Thing
Versatility and speed combined with predictability and control
The THING was originally devised in 2010 to be the miniaturized version of a Fletcher Four-fin to be ridden compact and under volume in punchy waves. However, for most every day conditions and wave types the protocol for standardized dims led many to believe that the THING model in normal sizing would become the only board you would ever need for 90% of your surfing.
- Absolute workhorse of a daily driver performance board
- True convertible 5-fin = tri for nearly everything and quad for when it’s firing
- Flat to single concave with slight vee behind center fin
- Order 1” shorter than your standard performance board
