Construction & Design
Built in classic polyester (PU) construction, this Modern Black Hawk delivers that familiar, connected-to-the-wave feel under your feet. The midlength template and 49 liters of volume give you excellent paddle speed and wave-catching ability, while the thruster fin setup adds control and drive when the wave stands up.
The 7'2 length makes this board a great option for surfers stepping down from a longboard or stepping up from a shortboard, with enough rail line to trim and glide but still short enough to fit into steeper pockets.
