Simply stated, the Driver 3.0 features slightly more tail rocker and a deeper double to single concave, through the rear half, than its predecessor, the Driver 2.0. The deck line in the tail is scooped out, with lower, boxy rails, to follow the bottom curve and slice seamlessly into the water.
- More concave means more lift and more rail line rocker.
- More lift means more speed.
- More rail rocker, means more curve, for searing, tight radius turns.
- We narrowed the hip, between the feet, adding grip and stability to the outline.
- The round tail is fairly wide and forgiving under the rear foot, but the last few inches puall in enough to add confidence for Pro level pocket surfing.
To balance all design elements (added tail rocker, narrower hip, scooped out deck and hyper rail rocker) we have carried a bit more with in the forward outline and volume in the forward foil. This forward volume adds glide and a more responsive drive, off the front foot. The Driver 3.0 runs thicker, along the stringer line (for paddle power and drive), but has a higher angle "Vee" deck, which removes volume and ends in a moderate, but round and forgiving, rail. Overall, the dims and volumes are noticeably a bit more generous. Like everything else in this board's design evolution, it is a reaction to (and response from) our top tier athlete's requests.
- Griffin is riding 5'11 × 28.50 liters
- Yago 5'11 and 6'0 × 29.50
- Kolohe and Crosby are somewhere in between, riding similar lengths, but at 29.00 liters of volume.
The Driver 3.0 is the status quo of high level, Pro-formance surfing, today. Developed with direction, testing and feedback from the many of the best surfers in the USA and around the world, it has been proven on the world's biggest stage, yet is designed with enough foam and built in speed to be a viable tool in any adept surfers quiver.
