Alley Cat
Alley Cat is a high performance small wave short board suiting a wide variety of surfers. It is designed to be ridden 1 inch shorter than your standard shorty but as a custom order can be modified to your specific requirements. Staying with the basic dna of the SXE our main goal was to create a small wave high performance short board that would suit every day waves all over the world, in conditions most of us deal with on a daily basis. A great board in soft beach breaks and points, holding speed through softer sections and making it easy to connect and hit the mark in waves you might be reaching for an hybrid alternative.

The main difference from the SXE is less width but more of a curvy outline, more nose rocker. Slightly less tail rocker and a shorter less pronounced Vee off the tail. The outline begins with a widish nose that helps for paddling, momentum in weaker waves, nailing airs, and other high risk maneuvers. The tail out line compensates that, keeping width throughout until a slight hip to a round squash tail pod all blending in very well. This all helps for stability, speed ,control and the breaking point in the out line for tight pivoting turns. The bottom contours are a single to double inside a single concave. The concave is quiet deep from 24''back and the rail rocker changes from a generous forward concave compensating a deeper more curvy rail line around the front fins then transforming into a slight Vee behind the fin and off the tail.
