OG ROACH

OG ROACH

OG Roach is hard to kill. Add this to your quiver for some serious thrills.

OG Roach comes from a collaboration I did a few years ago with Bob Hurley based on a board he made for Rabbit Bartholemew back in the 80′s. The Rab3 is a really popular board that is made for the Hurley staff and team and I wanted to make a modern version of this for the STCY brand. I’ve used the Rab3 as the base, but have tweaked every aspect of it it to give a really nice, settled feel when on the wave. It’s still got the Hip Swallow Tail and intricate bottom contours to give it drive and a tight turning arc. It is available in either thruster or a five fin set-up to give you more options when you’re at the beach.

The OG Roach is also available with Square Tail for a fun 1980's feel, but with modern capabilities.

Outline

Slightly wider than a pure retro, lengthened rail line for glide and speed, pulled-in tail with a subtle hip/bump for hold and quick release - give you that old school flow but modern responsiveness.

Rocker 

Low Entry for super easy paddling and wave catching blending into a low exit for solid drive, hold, and that "full" feeling off the tail without bogging.

Concave 

Starts with a slight double up near the nose for lift, flows into a deep single through the middle, then double concave out back - pure speed and release, keeps it lively in turns.

Tail

Double Flyer into a Swallow or Square Tail.

Fin Setup

5 Fin standard so you pick. Thruster for tight arcs and control or Quad for speed and loose flow.
