Kanpachi  ( available 8'0'~9'+)

After riding mid length for many years, I don't see too many longboarders keep riding mid length designs.
It's getting shorter and lighter for surfers who don't ride longboards but ride short boards originally.

So I made this Kanpachi for more longboard-based style.

Rocker is totally so relaxed just like longboard that you don't have to sit inside to catch.  I always tell people no need to paddle harder when you got smaller board but sit more inside and set the board for steeper peak.  It's easy to say but hard to do in genaral.
Kanpachi is actually a mini long board without wide-round nose.  Plese forget about nose riding I want you to stay on the tail and enjoy turns to make it all the way.

I tried all different multi fin-systems.
They are totally different but super fun.

Single for small clean day
2+1 for more tighter and quicker movement
Quad for bigger and faster waves.
