The Pukas Parachute is a high performance surfboard hidden in an alternative package
Don’t be fooled the alternative look of this board. It has a lot of hold, a lot of drive and is very maneuverable in almost any type of surf. Great all rounder for people who are bored of their everyday shortboard.
The Pukas Parachute is a high performance board in an alternative package. It has a pulled in nose for easy transitions, counterbalanced by its unique tail. It features an extremely wide 8 inch straight swallow tail for intense speed and increased spray throughout turns that works just fine thanks to its key fin placement.
Fins are further back than usual, making the board very quick off combined with performance rails for optimum control. It has four precisely placed belly channels on the bottom which help the board bite into the wave and guide water throughout the fins faster, without making the shape tracky.
The Pukas Parachute is the model Taz is most excited about for 2016. It’s named after Taz’s favourite hobby outside of surfing which is SkyDiving.
This is Taz. Parachute loving.
