| What Kind Of Waves are Best for The PAM PAM?
This is a potencial and future signature model of Eye Symmetry and it encompasses all that Max is and embodies. It has been designed and build for small waves performance. It is a perfect choice when you encounter waves to over head waves. You will enjoy a pretty performance, being able to move the board around a lot thanks to its round tail. The board is also a bonzer (5FIN), so allows an alternative surfing. Get creative!
| CONCAVES PATTERN from NOSE to TAIL
· Bottom concave | This concave is not crazy. It has a very subtle four concave entry that can be really felt with your hands but are barely noticeable to the eye due to the extreme and delicate craftsmanship behind this design.
The four entry concave breaks up the water. In one hand, if you got one single concave, it can stick on turns and stay like that sometimes. On the other hand, a V entry can make the board more loose. So the Pam Pam's design is in between those two. This is something that Max does on most his surfboards designs.
· Single Double Concave | A really subtle single with double concave follow the four entry concave, so this board is gonna be for small waves. Max doesn't one a slow one so we’ve got a single concave that lifts the board above the water and makes it go fast in small waves. Under the front foot, the belly of the board, just transfer pressure if you want speed. Following this action, the board lifts and responses, gives you speed.
· Double to a bit of V | The back of the board finished with a double concave to a bit of V. Max wants the back of the board really loose. The V is the opposite of a concave, so it makes the board really easy to maneuver and turn.
| Scaling Up & Up
It’s design is a scalable one up to a full operating gun in a 8’0 / 9’0” range; that is something that Max will start working on this winter 2022.
As we go bigger on this design, the concave reduces and in turns into a V. It’s all about slowing the board down, making it easy to turn. You don’t want it to go supper fast on a 34ft wave, bouncing like crazy… When scaling up, we stretch it out, put more rocker, more tail and nose lifts. At the end, we take the concave out and put the V in. This is the main idea when it comes to start scaling the Pam Pam up this coming Winter 2022.
The flat deck and double rail will increase the volume in the back. The pro surfer Tom Carroll, who has tested Eye Symmetry surfboards, likes this type of deck on his bigger waves guns, and that is a feature that Max to incorporate and work on a really big wave board.
This alternative bonzer model will be transformed to perform awesomely with high waves to 34ft waves. We cannot wait to see this one live!
