TROPICAL KEEL 2.0
The original Tropical Keel has been a labor of love not only for Ross but for all his team riders alike. The original model has been put through its paces all over the world in a huge variety of waves. The versatility of the board is absolutely mind blowing in the words of team rider Jyoti Walker.
Though we thought we had found evolutionary perfection in the original Tropical Keel around 2 years ago, we were proven wrong with an updated prototype taken on a recent trip to Sri Lanka whilst filming for the Sapphire Express movie. Ross changed the template to resemble more of a traditional fish outline, which included widening the nose and tail. The rails were pulled down a touch to give the board a more knifey feel through turns.
The 2.0 version still maintains the speed and responsiveness that made the original so special, but delivers more of a flowing feeling. Your style and approach to surfing will be altered when surfing this board, making you rethink the way you draw lines on a wave.
Jyoti says that there's a very good reason why he has been stuck on these boards for the past 8 years, and that's because every single session is a fun surf. The Tropical Keel 2.0 definitely ticks off all the boxes.
Custom color/artwork available.
A 50% deposit will be required before your board is started, and the remaining total paid upon completion of your board.
