THE LION V1 

This board was designed by Marc Rossouw. Tweaked over a decade of testing, with a direct focus on the three main elements of wave riding : SPEED || POWER || FLOW

A more classic framed template, allows for a more fluid style of riding. One of those boards every quiver needs. Great in most conditions, water climates and wave types. Not extremely stiff but definitely got the rigidity to offer some positive recoil.
