SECRET SPOT REVIEW:
The Pumpkin Seed is a unique design and a proven shape. It has all the benifits of a floaty fish up front to maximise weaker waves whilst the pulled in round pin tail keeps things controlled in bigger or hollow surf...It really is that versatile. The smaller sizes are better suited to small to head high surf whilst the mid sized models such as this 6' 6 work better in bigger swells too.
The tough Powerlyte epoxy finish offers excellent strength to weight keeping the board light and strong and offering slightly more float than a conventional PU board, each board also comes complete with a fitted board bag plus solid fibreglass fins as standard...
WHAT SANTA CRUZ HAVE TO SAY:
The Pumpkin Seed is the Swiss army knife of surfboards. It blends design elements of a fish with the performance characteristics of a pin tail resulting in maximum versatility. From small, gutless surf to high speed tube riding, this board can handle it all. The wide contemporary nose and relaxed rocker make this board paddle fast and accelerate out of the hole like a jack rabbit on roids. The single to double concave bottom and dynamic rail profile further complement the rail to rail performance and versatility. Essential for any quiver. Team tested and approved. Available in a variety of sizes to accommodate a broad range of rider weights and abilities.
