Neckbeard 2

The latest model of Neckbeard, which is no exaggeration to say is the No. 1 small wave model of Al Merrick, is the Neckbeard 2. Britt Merrick and Dane Reynolds updated the outline, rocker, concave, tail shape, etc. of the Neckbeard, and the Neckbeard 2 is the strongest board with amazing speed and performance. The entry rocker is weak and the tail width is wide to maximize down-the-line speed. To improve performance, the bottom is consistent with a single concave, and the tail has a chop tail with an emphasized fulcrum to make it easier to approach vertically with a hip line. It goes without saying that the Neckbeard 2 is a model that can be enjoyed by a wide range of surfers from beginners to expert surfers, but it is also suitable for a wide range of sizes and conditions, from knee-high waves to waves around the head. It is also ideal for practicing difficult maneuvers such as aerials.

The Neckbeard 2 can be ordered in a variety of materials, including Spine Tech and XTR. Dane rides it with a tri-fin, but a quad fin would also be a good choice if you want more speed.

Al Merrick Neckbeard 2 is recommended for these people!

Al Merrick's Neckbeard 2 is a groveler type (for small waves) board for beginners to advanced surfers. It is a representative board of the so-called "foul play" type, so the speed of take-off and riding will surely attract all surfers. The essence of the model is that it is recommended for those who aim for surfing that reaches top speed down the line and then air action, but it is very easy to ride even for beginners because it is easy to take off and has high speed. And the chop tail naturally creates an opportunity to turn, so I think it is easy to learn the basic maneuvers of the board. The most important element of surfing is speed, so I recommend it to all those who pursue speed.

The wave sizes and conditions that Al Merrick Neckbeard 2 supports

The Neckbeard 2 is designed for knee to head high, irregular beach breaks, weak waves, and thick waves. The nose width is kept moderate, so it's no problem even in slightly hollowed out waves, and is ideal for practicing airs.

What is the difference between Neckbeard 2 and Rocket Wide?

As groveler types, both have fast take-off, are easy to pick up speed on, and are easy to ride. However, the features of the two models are quite different. In terms of concept, the Neckbeard 2 emphasizes performance that allows for aggressive top action. The Rocket Wide is a more user-friendly and easier to ride board. If you want to enjoy lip action from top speed, we recommend the Neckbeard 2. If you are simply looking for a board that is easy to ride in small waves with few quirks, the Rocket Wide may be a good choice.

Spinetech's Neckbeard 2 is popular!

The Neckbeard 2, which is at its best in weak and small waves, is also quite popular for its Spine-Tek material. Spine-Tek is the latest material developed by Shapers in Australia, combining EPS foam, composite fiber, and carbon fiber. Not only is it lightweight, but the board's flex is lively, and you can feel the acceleration and drive just by turning lightly, allowing you to quickly transition to the next turn or maneuver. It returns to its original shape faster than conventional wood stringers, and is reset every time you turn, so the best flex state is maintained throughout your ride. Even when the waves are small, it's easy to gain speed, it's easy to move, and your surfing looks bigger and more flashy!
