“I loved the way the Player rode over the last 3 years. So, when it came to designing the Natural this year I wanted the same basic feel from the new board… We shortened the inside molded fins to make for less drag. Also after months of testing and refining we came up with the chevron design… It actually helps break the water off the tail of the board to make the board ride higher and faster in the water, making the board ride more like a continuous rocker board while keeping the same popping characteristics of a 3 stage rocker board (best of both worlds). Then I wanted to make the board roll onto edge smoother, giving the board a more NATURAL ride. We did this by rolling the rails of the board all the way through to the cupped rails... the board is far more durable for sliders. I loved the smooth landings on the Player so we kept the same sweet double concave in the middle of the board for those naturally smooth landings. It is the natural choice for 06” -Daniel Watkins
