SHAPES

CLASSIC

The classic shape has been around since the late 80’s. This shape is still preferred by many riders. The Classic shape favors quicker turning in heavier shore break and we would compare it to a high performance shortboard. A popular choice for our riders who perform in some of the heaviest conditions. The classic shape is favored by Teddy Vlasis, Johnny Salta and many more.

Dimensions (In)

XS 50.5 x 19.0
S 51.5 x 19.5
MS 52.2 x 19.7
M 52.7 x 20.0
ML 54.0 x 20.5
L 55.2 x 21.0
XL 56.7 x 21.5
XXL 57.3 x 22.5

LIFT

Our most refined shape. The new and improved version of our Classic shape. Shaped with slightly more volume in the nose of the board for more distance and a tiny modification to the classic pintail for remarkably improved control. Due to its similar design in the nose and tail, this shape also works great for technical tricks as it performs great riding backwards as well. Lift is favored by Amber Torrealba and Paddy Mack.

Dimensions (In)

XS 50.3 x 19.4
S 51.3 x 19.8
MS 52.0 x 20.1
M 52.5 x 20.3
ML 53.8 x 20.8
L 55.0 x 21.3
XL 56.5 x 21.8
XXL 57.1 x 22.1
BIGFOOT 57.5 x 22.5

FISHTAIL

The Fishtail shape has been reimagined from our very popular flying fish shape. Johnny Weber wanted to take off some of the meat and have this board be the perfect combination to slide out for miles but also maintain a great amount of control. We consider it our maximum distance fish tail. It is a little more challenging to turn, unless you are John.

Dimensions (In)

XXXS 45.0 x 17.4
XXS 47.0 x 18.2
XS 49.0 x 19.0
S 51.0 x 19.7
M 53.0 x 20.5
L 55.0 x 21.3

TEX

Single wing, short and wide, works great in all conditions, especially good for distance. This shape is a guaranteed fun board for all ages. The preferred shape of Tex Haines! Inspired by one of the legendary Kahanamoku family David K. It is a highly functional shape time tested since the 70’s.

Dimensions (In)

S 50.0 x 20.7
M 51.2 x 21.2
L 53.2 x 22.1

ROCKER

Rocker, that slight curve from nose to tail is so important. All the best materials won’t matter if the rocker is off. Victoria has had rocker dialed in for years. Our standard rocker is designed for speed and distance. You will feel the difference! But at Vic your options are not limited. If you skim the East coast, you might like less rocker for the flatter sand slope. Big wave, steep beaches, like Cabo for example, might require a bit more rocker to handle the transition from sand to wave. Tail Rocker? We don’t recommend it, it will slow you down dramatically. The slight maneuverability you gain isn’t worth it, unless you are an advanced rider.

RAIL SHAPE

Boxy rails bounce off water and resists catching, tapered rails are faster, and hold better, but catch more often. We recommend our hybrid rails but tapered or boxy are available on request!

RAIL CHANNELS

Grooves along the rails on the deck give the rider extra grip while grabbing the rail either going down the line, or for an air trick. Those groves have also shown to slightly increase the stiffness of the board. More riders are choosing this option! Available on request as well!

Bryan Lopez Pro

Bryan Lopez based out of Melaque, Mexico is known to go big every time he enters the water! He designed a board to maintain ultimate control and speed in heavy conditions. This design has taken Bryan to multiple Victories in contests and guaranteed standout clips during film sessions. The extra Tapered rails and narrow surf like shape help this board to perform the highest level of technical tricks and wave riding.
