PADILLAC
The Padillac is the board used by John John Florence to win the 2016 Eddie contest, Billy Kemper to win the 2015 and 2016 Jaws contest, and Mark Healey to win the Billabong 2014 XXL Biggest Paddle Award.
Like the name implies, this board is built to paddle fast and easy, with extra thickness and a fuller outline than most standard guns so you can catch and ride bigger waves with confidence and ease.
It has a clean, flowing rocker, and a light vee bottom with double concaves to give you speed and quick turning, while still maintaining control in heavy surf...It comes as a quad, for both speed and maneuverability, and can handle anything the ocean throws at you.
Made in sizes between 610 and 10'6, it is a great board for deeper water waves like Sunset, Cloudbreak, Puerto Escondido, Ocean Beach, or anywhere else that gets BIG and HEAVY. It is also a great choice for bigger surfers looking for a controlled, easy feel in all types of waves.

NEXT STEP
The Next Step up from your shortboard, this is a great board to have if you like to surf bigger waves than your shorty can handle, just down the road or on your dream surf trip.
It surfs loose, like a shortboard, but has the extra paddle-power and hold you need in solid surf.
Proven worldwide by the worlds best surfers, at places like Pipeline, Mainland Mexico, Tahiti, Fiji and Western Australia.
We recommend that you go anywhere from 2" to 8" up from your shortboard, and add at least 1/8" of thickness (more as you go longer) to help get you in early.
It has a lot of rocker for making step drops, a touch of extra thickness through the nose for paddle power, and refined rails to give you control where you need it most, in the barrel.
go with the 5-fin option for maximum versatility.
This board is what you need if you want to go bigger!

TANK
After Nathan Florence asked for more foam in his favorite step-up boards we ended up with a beefed up version of the Next Step which Nathan dubbed The Tank. He rides it once his normal shortboards are too small to handle the waves and just won his first major event the Red Bull Cape Fear paddling his 66 into bombs at Shipsterns Bluff. While most of us have nightmares about that type of wave, it shows that the Tank is a board that can clearly handle whatever you want. It has been ridden around the world and proven by the best surfers in the best heavy water waves, but is also at home in any lineup that demands just a bit more board at your local spot or on your dream surf trip. The Tank has all the best characteristics of a great step-up-
✪ Extra Volume where you need it most, under your chest, for maximum paddle power that lets you get into waves early and easy, gets you out of the impact-zone faster, and helps make long paddle outs less painful.
✪ Plenty of rocker for a high-performance feeling in larger, more powerful waves. Feels like your shortboard but with extra drive and hold to push as hard as you want. Also helps keep you safe taking late drops and lets you push your limits.
✪ Thinner rails and tail (when compared to the overall thickness) so your beefy board rides with the sensitivity of a thinner board- when you are going fast you dont want boggy, thick rails that slow you down or make it hard to set your bottom turn.
✪ We recommend that you go anywhere from 2" to 10" up from your shortboard, and add at least ¼ to ⅜ " of thickness (more as you go longer). Remember, in bigger waves foam is always your friend.
✪ Comes with 5-fin option so you can configure fins to make the most of different conditions.
