THE SNUB FEEDER

Posted in: Models Small Wave Hybrids, News

The world of surfboard design is from my point of view a very predicable beast punctuated at rare intervals by u turns in thought generated by something profound; be it Tom Curren riding a tiny fish in solid Indo or even Simon at Belles. One thing is sure; when it turns it goes extreme in a particular direction until over time the extremes fail and compromise wins over.
The Snub feeder is a compromise.

The stampede for short boards of late has seen all sorts of bloated stubby sleds appear on the market and indeed I have a few amongst my model range as well, but the thought with the Snub Feeder was simple! The Bottom Feeder model has been one of my most successful high performancesnub1thrusters and a lot of its success is due to its rocker and lateral bottom shape. I have another Feeder called the Stub Feeder- a five finner which is basically just a shorter wider version. The thinking with the Snub Feeder was to keep all the same dimensions as the normal Feeder- but with a snub nose.snub2
