Inspired by the river wave and City Wave® high performance surf culture in Munich that has spread around the world and now includes our regional Bend, Boise, and Chelan alternative surf playgrounds and probably one, two or three coming to your zone too! The Whirlpool is a low volume “river focused” high performance shortboard infused with some amazing features developed through our wake and ocean surfing shape experiments. A classic squash tail with a smooth curved rail line, matching rocker, single concave and tri fin set up translates to proven high performance. Our PAD (particle acceleration dish) concave placed in the front fin area increases water flow rate on the board surface where you need it most and creates magical speed and a loose feel. A visibly chined rail offers catch free forgiveness while at the same time reducing rail volume and allowing aggressive precise high performance surfing. To take it over the top performance-wise, we also added a top deck concave under your front foot for positive skate like control in and above the water. Infinite waves, radical surfing an all access pass to surf progression... Whirlpool!
Reinforced fin boxes and rails... artificial durability enhancement!

Lib Technologies is dedicated to hands on board building and riding. We have spent a lifetime surfing, shaping and working with alternative high performance environmentally friendly materials and constructions. Traditional surf construction has always felt too fragile and the building process is toxic and unhealthy for the planet and crafts people... we knew there had to be a better way.
