G-Skate PU Surfboard

FEATURES
The G Skate is built to inspire you with the signature Gudauskas brother energy
✓ Fast, skatey and responsive swallow-tailed hybrid design was born of a collaboration between Britt Merrick and the three Gudauskas brothers—Dane, Pat & Tanner.
✓ Created for a fresh feeling that turned well in good surf but skated with ease through the not-so-good stuff
✓ The goal was to create something fresh feeling that turned well in good surf but skated with ease through the not-so-good stuff.
✓ Achieved this by shortening their typical shortboard rail line by 5” and adding curves and contours in key places that would keep them on top of the water and not hinder their turns in any way
✓ 2 + 1 (twin plus trailer) fin set-up 
✓ Light single to double concave
✓ Low entry rocker
✓ Contemporary shortboard rails
✓ Ride this board 3” to 6” shorter and the same thickness as your CI Pro

RECOMMENDED FINS

✓ Merrick / Gudauskas 2 + 1 fin set for the G Skate, also the AMT (2 + 1) fin set up also works very well
✓ Thruster set will also work well in this design

CONSTRUCTION: PU Construction
PU surfboards are constructed from polyurethane blanks and use traditional materials and laminating techniques to produce strong, and reliable boards with high quality finishes. Polyester boards are CNC milled from shapers files and laminated by hand, using quality fiberglass which is known for its strength to weight ratio, resin and foam. Polyester boards have been at the forefront of performance surfing for years now, featuring progressive flex pattern controlled by a high-grade timber stringer, and feel reliable under the feet. Polyester construction performs well in all surf conditions and be adapted to suit a wide variety of surfboard models and lengths.
