3.0 Stub Thumb
3.0 Stub Thumb Driver
All new, every day, step-down, performance player, further developed with Kolohe Andino.
The 3.0 STUB is a direct derivative of the DRIVER 3.0.
Building upon the stoke and success of the 2023's 3.0 Stub Driver, we wanted to expand and extend the offering in this user-friendly high-performance player.
The easiest and most obvious, way to do so, was by making it available as a "Stubbed Thumb" tail. The round, or "Thumb" tail, has soared in popularity, recently, in the performance surfing world, with most World Tour and even Challenger Series surfers, opting for its no-frills, predictable and precise mannerisms. "The first Stubbed Thumbs I made were for my son, River and then went up from there. All the way to the big boss, Kolohe Andino, who is currently using it as his go-to shortboard." - Matt Biolos.
Design Updates:
- Reduction of surface area, by transitioning from bump squash to Thumb Tail
- Slightly pulled in nose
- Slightly thinned out tail‚Äö and that's about it.
- Same rocker and concave. Same rails and overall design concept.
A stepped-down and‚ stubbed‚ low-end/high-performance, smaller wave-ripping machine. The Thumb tail tends to fit more effortlessly into small pockets on quick dumpy sections, than the squash tail can. It also offers better hold when served up a high-speed wall with opportunities for an open face carves.
Perfect for small kinky beach breaks and good for arcing into head-high walls with confidence.
The 3.0 Stub Thumb Driver should be ridden 1-2 inches shorter than your standard high-performance shortboard.
If you think the 3.0 Stub Thumb Driver sounds great but you're looking for something that suits bigger, better quality waves then the Driver 3.0 is what you are looking for. The Driver 3.0 is perfect for quality high-performance surfing in good waves. Together they make for a perfectly paired duo of modern, high-performance surfboards.
