STEP-UP
A step-up is your everyday shortboard, but slightly more serious, more reliable. When conditions pick up a bit, bigger, steeper, faster, more critical, most typical performance shortboards can start to redline. In these prime wave conditions the last thing anyone wants is to hold back, you want to be free to meet power with power. Our step-up’s start with the performance shapes, we add a bit of length, a little more rocker. We maintain performance design characteristics, blended with utilities which allow maximum power and control.
BIG BOY
The physically larger surfers just might be the most under-served group when it comes to available shapes in most surf shops. The redesigned Strive Bully model is a modern high-performance board for “big guys” looking to have serious fun in everyday conditions. We started with a performance rocker and bottom shape, and then gave it a more generous outline and more volume under the chest. The big brothers and uncles will easily catch tons of waves and throw serious spray.
MID-LENGTH
Mid-Length’s have shaken off the “fun board” tag and are being adopted by more performance surfers looking for fun in conditions which do not always warrant a regular shortboard. The Strive Solution is a versatile and reliable performance mid-length. We set out to design a board that combines smooth flow in weaker waves, with speed, flow, drive, and turning performance. Paddles in effortlessly, moves quickly and turns aggressively, travels easily.
PERFORMANCE LONGBOARD
Strive’s Incitor performance longboards are designed to blend progressive modern surfing with the smooth flow of longboarding. These boards are ideally suited for everything from “real world conditions” of messy beach breaks, to ruler-straight point waves. The Strive Incitor Model longboard excels across a staggeringly broad range: expert to beginner; 2′-15′ waves; beach breaks, points, or reefs; young or old; male or female. The Inciter is carefully designed to be a ‘go anywhere’ board; truly for everyone, everywhere!
TRADITIONAL LONGBOARD
Some things never go out of style, like the glide of a great traditional nose rider. The Strive Heirloom model offers smooth flow, flawless trim, and timeless feel. One of our most refined shapes, we have spent decades balancing to foil, determining the ideal bottom and rail contours for smooth turns, effortless drive, and long tip-time.
GUNS
Strike Mission Model – With over a quarter century of designing and building big wave guns for Mavericks, and other big waves around the globe, we are very proud to offer the Strike Mission model gun. Knowledge, preparation, fitness and proper equipment are critical in big wave surfing. The Strike Mission features a proven bottom rocker curve with unique foiling of volume to create fast, responsive, reliable performance balanced with the confidence, predictability, and early entry of a larger board. All Strike Mission guns come standard with a preinstalled full-deck proprietary EVA deck pad. Waves of consequence call for boards of confidence, and serious waves can be serious fun.
