Owners Rating:

The Rocket Wide Squash is a highly versatile board designed for speed and performance. An evolution of the original Rocket Wide, this model features a squash tail, enhancing maneuverability and allowing for smoother, more fluid turns. The board’s design includes medium rails, a hybrid nose, and medium tail width, providing stability and speed. The low entry and moderate exit rocker combined with a staged rocker style offer excellent speed and responsiveness in various wave conditions, making it ideal for 1-4ft waves. Advanced surfers should ride this board 2”-4” shorter than their height. Available in 3 or 5 fin configurations, the Rocket Wide is a groveler weapon.
