CONDITION: This "Gamma" model by Slater Designs shortboard is in excellent condition! The deck has minimal to extremely light pressure under the front foot. The bottom/belly is nearly flawless. With the exception of some yellowing, this grom stick is super fresh, and ready to shred! A true 9.0 out of 10.0 stars.
ABOUT: The Gamma is Kelly’s 2017 utility shortboard! Though Kelly has worked with several great shapers this past year on an array of different shapes, it was his excitement with the speed and quick direction changes provided by this personal design that held his intrigue. His interest in CAD board design, modifying variables, and testing and retesting has lead to the development of an incredible all-around shortboard.
With a single concave bottom and slight vee behind the back fin, this board is extremely fast and drivey. The vee out the back makes for quick rail to rail transitions. Within the hi-performance shortboard range this would be considered a medium rocker with a med to even a slightly pinched rail.
The distinct hip on the Gamma gives it a tighter turning radius allowing it to be ridden in a shorter wider set of dims as well as the common performance shortboard dims. This board excels in a broad range of waves and conditions.
