UNDER THE HOOD…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Storms\u2019 is Kanoa Igarashi\u2019s new signature model for small to medium waves. Based on the original Disco Inferno squash, we added more area to the nose and created a bump squash on the outline for easier tight turning. We increased the nose thickness by pushing the volume forward and kept the same rocker and similar single to double concave as the original Disco Inferno. This board glides through flat sections and it can easily turn in the tighter sections of the wave, making it a new go to board for all QS warriors and local shredders. An overall great performance board for everyday conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re looking for a quality all-round surfboard that is also capable in the small stuff, I would strongly recommend the \u2018Storms.\u201d<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

LIAM’S CONCLUSION…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Storms\u2019 was a slightly higher volume, slightly shorter all-round shortboard that could adeptly handle small surf. This model was one I thoroughly enjoyed throughout the test. Being slightly larger in volume as well as having more area in the nose than my typical shortboard, I immediately noticed how well the board paddled. These attributes also translated into a sense of glide both off the take-off and down the line. The board traversed dead sections without trouble and gracefully sped through transitions. More impressively, in spite of being geared up to maximise speed, the board surfed incredibly well on rail. I was able to push my turns hard without it skipping out as well as surf tight in the pocket. It released on cue and overall provided a stable feeling underfoot that served whatever intentions I had on the wave. It was this deference the board had for my surfing that charmed me most. Personally, I could see myself riding this type of board on the QS. If you\u2019re looking for a quality all-round surfboard that is also capable in the small stuff, I would strongly recommend the \u2018Storms.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n
