A recent purchase of a new freewave board, prompts Finn Mullen to extol its virtues and reboot his view of onshore conditions.
The year was 1989 and Robby Naish was on the beach at Marazion, Cornwall, competing. "How much rocker does your wave board have?", a fan asks. "The full banana man, the full banana!", said Robby reportedly. For a long time in wave board design, rocker was king, and just getting a wave board going was a feat in itself. Scott McKercher changed the game with his genre busting 'Evo', which reduced rocker and length of wave boards to a more user-friendly design that still turned, but didn't need a force 10 storm to get it moving. Further refinements quickly followed, and the genesis of the modern multi-fin wave board that we have today was born, offering performance and planing in an easy to use package and for the most part is capable of being used in a wide variety of wave conditions.
