TGVee
Speed and Release
Whether it’s for small summer waves or rapids of all kinds: Take the fast train to go surfing, take the TGVee with you!
The TGVee is an evolution of the Train, gaining its drive from an inch of extra length, while offering a bit more release through the Vee and the deep-seated Twin Fin Block. A technical Train with plenty of Vee – a TGVee, indeed.
This shape is surfed by experienced surfers at a size for small waves and rapids, and it’s all about top-to-bottom lines in small transitions and foamy ledges. For big and heavy rapid surfing beginners, the shape is perfectly suited for finding trim and drive. The super-wide tailblock generates all the momentum, the full rail ensures agility, and control of hold and release is influenced by the choice of fins. More rake brings more hold, more cant brings more release – everything as usual, only the fins should be twin or half keel in size.
We ride the TGVee in the Rapid PU construction, so as not to have longer repair sessions when switching between fresh and saltwater. The flex is very similar to PU. If you want to get high into the air from the wide tail, EPS or RAPID EPS is the best choice.
