This makes it fantastic to surf at a range of angles, it loves to be surfed vertically off the wave base and feels really calm when surfed tight to the pocket and in steepening parts of the wave. Second thing I felt was the simplicity of the lines the board likes to draw, it doesn’t build to crazy speed off the inside back edge like a deep concave, instead it holds speed from any point on the wave to any other point. The rv had none of that, it rolls in from the outset with great ease and immediately puts a surfer into the driver’s seat. A lot of modern boards, especially concave-built, will sorta catch a little bit of water on that front rail in a takeoff thanks to the rocker curve, and it takes a tiny moment to shake the board loose and find speed. It meant that when you paddled into a wave, specially on a slight angle, the rail would instantly engage and draw the board into the wave with very little effort from the rider. I put this down to the vee’s straightening effect on the front foot or so of the rail rocker. Instantly flashed back to a couple of the boards I’d had around the start of the 2000s, really clean free-running power surfing boards.įirst thing I picked up on was how beautifully the rv “felt” its way into waves. I was a bit wary of the 6’0” because I’d been riding concaves for years and years and had a little struggle in my mind about how a true single concave blend like a Metro type board could be matched by a vee-to-flat.īut as soon as I surfed it I had an instant memory of how the reverse vees had felt in prior times. The 5’10” was a second run board, shaped in May in the US from a US red blank, and is slightly tweaked from the first run with a rv entry and a slight concave bleeding in and out a bit up from and through the fins. The 6’0” was part of the first run of new reverse vees made in Torquay around April, and is just a pure rv bottom, vee tapering back to flat just ahead of the fins with standard modern tail lift. Here’s what Nick Carroll had to say about his Maurice Cole Reverse Vee Shorty and Step-Up:Ħ’0” x 183/4” x 23/8” roundtail 5’10” x 187/8” x 23/8” square/squashtail It made so many late drops he said “Does this board have Tesla Auto Surf? WTF?!” Trip’s story of his Reverse Vee Shorty (in video) is pretty telling. The new Maurice Cole Reverse Vees have Vee underneath there chest and this helps engage the board on rail immediately when dropping in, and also help the board rail turn more aggressively. Normally boards have concave up front and Vee out the back. Just like the OG version, the new Maurice Cole Reverse Vees take modern surfboard design and turn it upside down.
