G Skate

The G SKATE is a hybrid surfboard with a snappy, swallow tail design that accelerates quickly and was co-designed by the Gudauskas brothers and Britt Merrick.

"This model was designed with performance and acceleration in mind, as well as a board design that could be used in any wave condition, and we set high standards especially in terms of performance. The G SKATE cleared all of these standards and goals. Everything from the rail length to the shallow concave is precisely combined, and the fins are set to twin + stabilizer, making it a board with high performance despite its familiar appearance. The G SKATE is a versatile board that you can definitely use if you have one.

"As a guide for custom sizing, we recommend a length 3-6 inches shorter than the perf board (your height) and the same thickness as a regular perf board.

"To further enhance the performance of the G SKATE, Britt Merrick and the Gudauskas brothers also designed the twin + stabilizer fin "Merrick / Gudauskas 2 + 1". By using this fin, you can maintain the free movement of the twin fins while also mixing in the board control of the tri-fins. As a different fin setting, the twin + stabilizer fin "AMT" designed by Al Merrick also offers a different riding experience. This fin reduces propulsion slightly, but increases rotation in return.

Or, if you are not comfortable with twin fins, you can try a tri-fin until you get used to the board, and then gradually get used to twin fins.
