Byrne Tom Carroll Surfboard

Serious surfers looking to gun down Indo barrels need a few things: a passport, a hefty health insurance plan, and the Surftech Byrne Tom Carroll Surfboard. The narrow nose and tight pintail place an elongated, curved rail line into the wave, easing the heart-stopping initial turn and smoothing out the charge. Phil Byrne's use of a subtle concave bottom slows the board slightly, and sits the rails, tail, and stability-amplifying FCS tri fins down into the water for greater control—crucial features that helped Tom Carroll navigate his way to two Pipeline Masters wins. Gun-worthy curls require shoulder-straining paddling―added thickness increases buoyancy and the efficiency of each stroke to help you catch 30mph swells. The Bryne Tom Carroll is designed for small to medium surfers who live to get barreled in 8-12 foot powerhouses.
