It's fun in small snappy beach breaks and excels in chest high to 1.5x overhead. The deep concave and curvy rail rocker work well to provide lift and pop in even smallish, sloppy surf.The conservative overall rocker and outline lends itself to a feeling of confidence to push hard in good, powerful sections, as well. Kolohe has always preferred boards with built-in drive and a little extra surface area and volume, so we feel this design is not too "Pro" or extreme in any way. Staying together in France that week, we figured out this would make a great board for surfers looking for a modern HP surfboard based off feedback from competitive surfers. Next came the QuikPro-France WCT and his heat in small Hossegor, besting King Kelly, on the same board. He rode it to a QF finish in the Azores WQS 10,000, then won the Cascais Pro-WQS 10,000 on it, texting me after some heat wins "PocketRocket".
Somewhat jokingly, I scribbled "PocketRocket" on his first one. This made for a deeper, almost exaggerated concave (for lift and speed) but with enough overall curve to still surf radical in the pocket. For Kolohe, who was used to boards with more overall rocker, I knew we needed to maintain speed and control in tight radius turns to surf more critical in the pocket than currently, all without losing speed and drive.To do so, we really hollowed out the stringer line between his feet and into the rear third of the board, while maintaining the already healthy amount of rail rocker. The board featured a moderate continuous rocker, with no discernible flip or break, and more curve in the center of the board (with less in the tips) than usual. I offered up examples of alternative curves we were supplying other WT surfers with success- one in particular, code-name "WLG". He was ready to try some different curves under foot. What - Expect all of your favorite attributes from the original Rocket to be found in the Rocket Redux low flat and fast entry rocker, an aggressive flip in the tail and rail rocker, a wide outline. After a stellar start on the 2015 WQS (with a win at the Australia Open) Kolohe's momentum had slowed by mid-season. The model’s larger surf abilities were made evident in Lost’s video 5’5 Redux where the Rocket held the stage for most of the film.

The PocketRocket is the culmination of our work with many WSL surfers, primarily Kolohe Andino. Fast, precise, playful and just plain fun, the Rocket Redux is fast paddling, easy to ride, iconic, every day, speed burning, pocket turning, no need for good waves yearning, bullet of a board for everyone.
