Description

Description

The performance model in our range of mals is the 9’1” Wicket. Designed with regular longboarders in mind, it is a progressive longboard with design features aimed at allowing a high level of manoeuvrability. A more noticeable rocker curve and pulled in tail coupled with the option of a 2+1 or regular thruster set-up make this a great option for surfers who like to get on every part of the wave.

9’1″ x 14 7/8″ x 22 1/2″ x 18 1/8 x 3″ – 72.2 l

Designed to be ridden as a single fin, but can also be used as a 1+2 (single fin with side bites).

From £4,150.00

Reviews

“Quite apart from the wonderful week of instruction and endeavour, the actual surfboard is a joy to ride. It’s a smooth, stable yet responsive platform. I feel so chuffed to carry something I made down the beach to admiring glances.”

Robbie Lawson, 2018 Workshopper

“I don’t want to sound pretentious or anything, but it just felt really nice to surf – it made me happy.”

Gideon Ashworth, 2012

Design Details

The Wicket is a longboard that James designed in his journey to seek a genuine ‘one-board-quiver’. This board is made to be ridden in almost anything the conditions in Cornwall will throw at you.

It has a good amount of volume for a 9’1 and a relatively low rocker line with a small lift in the nose and tail, so it will paddle and catch waves with ease. Then, when you get to the nose, you’ll find a shallow concave that’ll provide control, hold and lift underneath a solid platform.

When the waves get a bit bigger, you’ll probably spend more time at the back of the board as it’s a dream to surf off the tail, running along big open faces and drawing big sweeping turns.

Hand-on-heart, this is a board that always makes you smile!
