Wade Tokoro SF3

This board is designed for intermediate to advanced surfers looking for a high-performance shortboard that doesn't sacrifice stability. Its fuller outline and forward wide point make it more forgiving than a traditional pro-model blade, while still offering the responsiveness needed for aggressive turns.

The SF3 is a versatile daily driver. The deep single concave and even rocker profile generate speed easily in average, smaller surf, but the board holds its own when the waves get punchier, providing enough control to handle steeper sections.

The traditional polyurethane foam construction provides a classic, predictable flex pattern that many surfers prefer for its dampening qualities. It offers a lively, responsive feel underfoot that feels very natural during rail-to-rail transitions.

At 31 liters, this board provides a good balance of float and maneuverability for a surfer of average weight. If you are transitioning from a groveler or a wider board, this volume should feel comfortable, but ensure it aligns with your specific weight and skill level to maintain the performance characteristics intended by the shaper.

The squash tail is a great all-around choice for this design. It provides a wider surface area for speed generation in weaker waves while offering enough release and bite to keep your turns sharp and controlled in more critical sections.
